Arizona vote 'audit' sinks deeper into insanity as state GOP chair threatens her own officials with [View all]

arrest

The Daily Beast reports that the audit has been driving divisions within the state GOP even deeper, and Ward is now pushing for the arrest of Republican election officials in Maricopa County if they refuse to comply with the auditors' demands.

"There have to be consequences," Ward earlier this week. "There could be arrests of people who are refusing to comply."

Arresting people for standing up against the big lie and the big lie enablers... hhhhhmmm where have we seen that before!?!?!

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.” Attributed to Goebbels... maybe he didn't say but I think it sums up what is in the neo GOP's shrivelling heart of hate 2021. Arrest anyone who does not offer featly at any cost to the dear leader.
