Arizona candidate for governor Kari Lake implicated Cindy McCain in a plot to destroy America with liberal billionaire George Soros.
While appearing on a Saturday edition of Steve Bannon's right-wing podcast, Lake suggested that Republicans fear her more than Democrats.
"It just shows you how dangerous the RINO-class of the Republican Party is," she complained. "I believe they're in cahoots basically with the [George] Soros types on the left. And this is why they stabbed President Trump in the back on the fourth of November and we remember that."
"This is the Cindy McCain branch of the Republican Party," the candidate continued. "They're not Republicans. They're globalists and they want -- I think they want an end to America. They want a globalist agenda, a new world order, whatever you want to call it."

It always comes down to blaming the Jews! From dog whistles like "globalists" and "Soros controlled", to shit like "a cabal of backstabbers".

(7,886 posts)In 2015 Orbán blamed Soros for the "imigration problem" using false propaganda and has continued to do so ever since. Putin's trolls fed Orbán's mythology into the internet chatrooms, propaganda pages, and twitter feeds frequented by the RW and the disturbed fools who fell for Qanon. It was such an effective meme that almost anything now considered to be a "liberal plot" is laid at Soros' feet as a funding source and primary agent of liberal agendas everywhere. Thus the world-wide Jewish conspiracy to subvert everything (known as COVID-19) is allegedly the product of scheming by the Budapest born billionaire: György Schwartz, known to most of the world as George Soros.

It seems that ignorant and stupid people will believe almost anything which makes them feel they are better than someone else, whom coincidentally they are allowed to hatefully blame as the cause of every grief and mischief afflicting themselves.

(9,998 posts)I hope and pray that Arizona is enough of a Purple state, that they don't elect this POS as their Governor.
Looks like she may win the nomination, thanks to her MAGA credentials.
Boy would it be nice to have a Democratic Governor & 2 Democratic Senators (Well, 1 Democratic Senator + Sinema), in a state once previously considered a reliable repub state.
For those who think that TX or FL are in play, I disagree, and hold up AZ as an example of a state that's truly Purple, where the party should be investing campaign funds.

We're not talking about knowledgeable women in either case.
Could be they just know 'the bad guys' names to drop for their knuckle-dragging followers.
Just saying.

(205,179 posts)Back when TFG was putting immigrant kids and babies in cages, I attended a protest in my small city where a few hundred residents showed up - and I ran across seven people I already knew! There was a very small MAGA contingency which of course caused trouble - with their bullhorn and full sized flag obstructing traffic. And I spoke to another protester who had had words with them - she told me that they accused us locals of having been "bused in from New York City (6 hours away!) by George Soros..."
