To read this tweet is to surrender ones sanity. This is the moment your life is altered forever. I look towards the sky and lemons and gumdrops are raining down on all of us. Reality is dead and only madness remains.

Well, that didnt take long. One of the newest and biggest whack jobs in the Arizona Legislature already has crashed and burned. The only question remaining: whether the state Senate will have to good sense to clear away the wreckage.
Sen. Wendy Rogers spent a decade trying to convince voters to send her to Congress, going so far as to baselessly accuse a Republican rival of having ties to a sex-trafficking ring in 2018. When that didnt work, she moved from Tempe to a travel trailer in Flagstaff last year, hoping the Legislature would be a springboard to D.C. She spent more than a million dollars to win her seat by running a slash-and-burn campaign against then-Sen. Sylvia Allen charging that one of the most conservative members of the Legislature was not conservative enough.
Rogers ran an obnoxious campaign
Rogers campaign was so obnoxious that her now-seatmate, state. Rep. Walter Blackman, a Snowflake Republican and staunch conservative, told the Arizona Capitol Times after the primary election that he would not campaign with her. If I dont agree with the type of representation that she is going to give, based on her history, then, Im not going to vote for her either, Blackman said. The main goal for Wendy Rogers is to get to Congress, and you can put that in your paper. Basically, Rogers is state GOP Chairwoman Kelli Ward on steroids.
Shes a staunch supporter of former President Donald Trump and a proud member of the Oath Keepers, the far right militia group that figured prominently in the Jan. 6 attack on the nations Capitol to try to stop Congress from certifying President Joe Bidens win. The FBI has accused the groups leader, Thomas Edward Caldwell, of coordinating the effort to track down members of Congress during the siege of the Capitol. Rogers calls Robert E. Lee a great patriot, believes the election was rigged, blames the Capitol riot on antifa and spends a lot of time retweeting the writings of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green, QAnons contribution to Congress.

How does "I like Robert E. Lee" and "I don't like traitors who hate America" go in the same tweet? Do you even know who Robert E. Lee was?
