Arizona GOP Boss is Livid Rusty Bowers Testified Against Trump: report

Thursday, June 23, 2022

The Arizona Republican Party is in disarray after GOP House Speaker Rusty Bowers publicly testified about Donald Trump's coup attempt before the House Select Committee Investigating the Jan. 6 Attack on the U.S. Capitol. "State GOP Chairwoman Kelli Ward has come positively unglued over Bowers' testimony before the House Select committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection, wherein he reminded us that there are still are Republicans who haven't lost their ever living minds. Or their integrity," Arizona Republic columnist Laurie Roberts wrote. "In the last 24 hours, Ward has demeaned Bowers, belittled him and even embraced her inner fifth grade bully and given him a nickname: 'Rusty Bowels.'"

How anyone with half a brain associates themselves with the train wreck of a party that is the GOP is beyond me.

Because they have a trainwreck of miserable, self-destructive life?

I have wondered this for years now. If their private life mirrors their public life then they all choose to live in Hell.

Like every good little MAGA does.

Of course he is mad. No one organized crime ring is happy when they are exposed. That's why the say snitches get stiches. I hope Bowers has a good security detail.

Those are the "second amendment solutions" conservatives harp on so much.

One might notice that his new-found enemies have no argument or evidence against what he actually testified to.

They are just pissed that he told the truth.

... State GOP Chairwoman Kelli Ward has come positively unglued over Bowers' testimony before the House Select committee ...

So... the Arizona State GOP Chairwoman is angry that an Arizona Republican Party official told the truth while under oath.

That begs the question... what did she expect him to do under oath? Lie?

The more evidence the Jan 6 Committee uncovers, the better their work looks.

Probably expected him to refuse to testify and hope the GOP wins the House in November and shuts the committee down before he goes to trial on obstruction.

shuts the committee down

The Committee will finish long before it is shut down.

Things appear to be heating up. There is reason for optimism Trump is incited prior to November.

"indicted"

Trump's incitement is taken for granted.

@#10 ... Things appear to be heating up. ...

The raid of Mr Clark's house shows that the DoJ is continuing to move up the ladder...

The truth, I think, is that racist hateful white people find it far, far
easier to blame a scapegoat, than to take a long hard look in the mirror...

Every time I head out the door to a bar here in WV after working from home,
I see it. Racist, ignorant, self-pitying people, stuck in their lives,
unable to progress, because they cannot confront the truth that it is they,
and they alone, that have gotten most of them in the position they find
themselves today.

Thank you, Kelli Ward.

Signed,
The Democrats

#13 - So true, as adults, our lives are, for the most part, the result of our actions and decisions. Can't get a good job? You should have worked harder in school or shown up to your last job on time. Unhappy marriage? It would help if you didn't knock up your high school girlfriend, etc. Those who lost jobs because of globalization should blame greedy CEOs and the GQP, who are in the pockets of greedy CEOs, not immigrants. The problem is that it's easier to hate others and blame them for imagined slights than it is to look in the mirror and take responsibility for your actions and decisions.

Sad part is... nobody here in AZ seem to care. The reasonable Republicans have been pushed out or quit. I can remember years Jeff Flakke never even had a Democratic opponent. Now these idiots run the asylum here. They are not going any where and have no shame. Ignorance is a virtue with new Arizona GOP majority.

Fun fact: Nobody anywhere cares.

Think of it like the annual Emmy Awards or Oscars broadcast.

Both are a ------- sideshow that appeal to either Industry Insiders, Tabloid "journalists", urban male homosexuals, and maybe the kind of suburban soccer mom in a Subaru and sporting a dyed purple streak in her hair and one or two small visible tattoos.

Nobody else gives a ----.

Comments sections of left-wing websites aren't a viable demographic, but they can appear to be when one spends all their time there.

Yes, this has always been the appeal of Nativism.
