🌵Mesa Arizona Republicans for Harris launching this morning! Mayor John Giles says it best: “Our party’s nominee is not fit for office.”

That’s why he and Arizona Republicans are ditching Trump for @KamalaHarris.

1. Welcome to the right side of history

Better late than never.

[Sky Jewels]

3. And by right you mean left

because the left is right and the right is wrong.

[B.See]

7. Heyyy! Nice one!

[BattleRow]

31. Coincidentally,the right side of a hurricane

Hurricane Kamala will be doozy!

[StarryNite]

11. Mesa Mayor John Giles was for President Biden in 2020.

[Cha]

16. Good to Know.. Mahalo, StarryNite!

[DemocratInPa]

28. Giles is like Chris Christie..

I don't agree with everything about him or he says, but he does come off as a decent guy..

[Bundbuster]

2. And so it continues

[oasis]

4. Very good, but where is Cindy McCain?

[obamanut2012]

5. Being a UN Ambassador for the Biden-Harris Administration

I am pretty sure she is for Kamala, and will officially be at the convention, etc.

[oasis]

25. Fabulous! Thanks

[Hermit-The-Prog]

6. This is wild.

[Demobrat]

8. Guess they think he's gonna lose.

No reason to kiss the ring now.

[Attilatheblond]

21. Possibly they don't want him calling & asking them to committ crimes for him

Pretty sure they don't want the MAGA idiots driving by their homes with bullhorns, shouting vile things late at night when they refuse. Might as well start off as they intend to proceed.

[ShazzieB]

24. Makes sense!

I hope lots of other states follow Arizona's example.

[SARose]

9. All You Fascists

I'm gonna tell all you fascists you may be surprised
The people in this world are getting organized
You're bound to lose, you fascists are bound to lose

Race hatred cannot stop us this one thing I know
Your poll tax and jim crow and greed have got to go
You're bound to lose, you fascists bound to lose

All of you fascists bound to lose
You fascists bound to lose
All of you fascists bound to lose
You fascists bound to lose
You’re bound to lose! you fascists!
Bound to lose

People of every colour marching side by side
Marching across these fields where a million fascists died
You're bound to lose, you fascists bound to lose

I'm going into this battle, and take my union gun
We'll end this world of slavery before this battle's won
You're bound to lose, you fascists bound to lose.

Woody Guthrie 1942

Sounds good to me.😉

[ArkansasDemocrat1]

13. I want to go to GuthrieFest

Yes, Oklahoma celebrates his music and legacy annually

15. Or to quote Franklin "We must hang together or we shall hang separately."

Fascism is a zero sum monster at heart. There is no place for individual innovation, art, or leisure.
Everything belongs to those at the top; the leader and their enablers.
And even those at the top are fighting amongst each other to determine who will be the next leader, and who will fall out of favor and fall back into the mass of powerless drones.
But most Fascists are too egotistically stupid (or venal) to realize there's just as large a target on the backs of them and their families as there is on those who are Enemies of the State.

36. Well said

They have this enormous blind spot - rules don’t apply to them.

We’ll see.

[KPN]

19. Kickety-kick-kicked! To the moon! Great stuff!

[wordstroken]

10. Magnificent!!!!

[orangecrush]

12. Kick

[Upthevibe]

14. bigtree..........

Very cool!

Thanks for posting...

[BlueWavePsych]

17. Gotta luv the smell of Kari Lake burning in the sunlight.

[Attilatheblond]

22. Or seeing her melting in the monsoon rains

like her sister in OZ

[KPN]

18. I must say, this seems HUGE!

[Attilatheblond]

23. AZ is getting purpler by the year

[Paladin]

20. "...we need to vote for the adult in the room..."

Never thought I'd see things like this from Republicans. Not that I'm complaining...

[ShazzieB]

26. This is amazing!

KICK!!!

[SomedayKindaLove]

27. Can we get one of these?

In every battle state? Please and thank you!!

[SomedayKindaLove]

33. I see FL has one too n/t

[LaMouffette]

29. About damn time! But I am glad that finally, FINALLY, some Republicans are finding a moral compass.

[Scrivener7]

30. Wwwwwoooooowwwww!!! Fabulous!!!

[llmart]

32. MAJOR DISARRAY IN THE GOP!!!!

The NY Times and Washington Post and all other major outlets including George Stephanopolus will be all over this 24/7, for at least three weeks I'm sure of it!!

Do I need the sarcasm emoji???

[Abstractartist]

34. Ok fantastic

Ok fantastic. This is momentum, but I’m going to be a somewhat buzz kill..
PLEASE DO NOT lose sight of our goal. Our goal is to elect Kamala Harris as our President. I am excited to see many republicans finally coming to their senses about trump, but I am skeptical about the GOP party members. This may be a truly memorable day if true, or an attempted set up to create havoc.
Keep pushing your GOTV and not lose sight.

[NoMoreRepugs]

35. Hope he has serious security arranged for his family and himself.

[EarnestPutz]

37. "Vote for the adult in the room". Should be another mantra for us.

[madamesilverspurs]

38. Any chance

that Gosar can be ousted?

.

[liberalla]

39. WOW! This is great! Thanks pubs!

Hopefully all their friends will join them.

[twodogsbarking]

40. There is hope.

Maybe.

[KarenS]

41. I read this morning that John Giles has been invited to the

Democratic National Convention in Chicago

[SpankMe]

42. This is shocking

I went to college in AZ and I know Mesa. It's a hotbed of Mormon domination at all levels of local government. This is a significant defection, even if it's not huge in number.

[GoreWon2000]

43. Protecting democracy and women's reproductive rights...

won in both 2020 and 2022 in AZ. They can do so again in 2024. These are the issues that voters cross party lines for. I'm really glad that the Repugs for Harris group is really taking off. It's an important piece of the campaign puzzle that can get repugs who care about these important issues to cross party lines. While these 2 critical issues don't need any additional help, I would also add in reminding AZ voters of tRump's attacks on Senator John McCain's military service will be an additional help because I think a lot of AZ. voters were offended by these attacks by draft dodger tRump in addition to his threat to democracy and women's reproductive rights.

[Blue_Roses]

44. WOW!!!
