Arizona secretary of state tells Trump before election lie rally: get over it

Democrat Katie Hobbs says ‘this is nothing more than being a sore loser’ as ex-president heads to Phoenix for event

Arizona’s secretary of state had a message for Donald Trump before he appeared in Phoenix on Saturday: “Take your loss and accept it and move on.”

Trump was set to speak at an event organised by Turning Point Action, a conservative group, and called the “Rally to Save Our Elections!”

Republicans in the most populous county in Arizona continue to pursue a controversial audit of ballots in an attempt to prove Trump’s claim that his loss to Joe Biden in the state, and nationally, was caused by widespread voter fraud. It was not.

Katie Hobbs, a Democrat, spoke to CNN on Friday. Asked what she wanted to tell Trump, she said: “Well, I mean, like most grownups, take your loss and accept it and move on … Nothing that’s going on here is going to change the outcome, and, really, this is nothing more than being a sore loser.”

Hobbs also said Trump’s appearance – like support for his lies from local Republican officials, office holders and congressional hopefuls lining up to speak at Saturday’s event – was dangerous.

And has spent none of it to fight the big lie. It’s just another money grabbing scam and the suckers keep lining up. I don’t know if is really planning on running in 24 but I’m sure he’ll keep grifting as long as it stays profitable.

Katie Hobbs's quote included the words "like most grownups". This excludes Trump immediately because he is neither grown up or normal.

Another article showed that apparently they have now recruited Ashlii Babbitt's mother to speak at the Turning Point rally. She appears to be as much of a wacko and traitor as her late daughter.

With his debt load & declining revenues, that $75 million was spoken for before it was donated.
I believe his failing business is looking at $27 million per month in debt service. Maybe thirty.
With a 30% drop in revenues, he could be 60 days behind.
That's all this grift was ever about.
Getting suckers to pay his bills.
