Az Blue Meanie has already ably reported on the below dangerous tweets released by the fringe-lunatic-mentally challenged wing of the Republican Party.

There has been some reaction from leading Arizonans to these threatening tweets.
Liz Luna, the Deputy Executive Director of the Arizona Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee, released a statement which read:
“In another desperate attempt to undermine democracy, the Arizona Republican Party has asked its followers if they are willing to die for the cause of overturning the presidential election results after sharing a conspiracy tweet on Monday from its official Twitter account.”
“These dangerous comments from Arizona’s GOP further erode the very foundation of freedom and democracy on which our country is founded. After a fair and certified election, the Arizona Republican Party refuses to accept the results.”
“We deserve leaders who will fight to uphold democracy, instead of spreading conspiracy theories and ignoring facts. These shameful comments from the AZ GOP are attacks on the basic freedoms and independence we Arizonans hold dear.”
“This is only the beginning of erratic actions and unfounded claims to expect from the GOP during the upcoming legislative session.”
Maricopa County Democratic Party Chairperson Steve Slugocki posted on Twitter:
This is just insane. A state political party is encouraging violence. I have enjoyed laughing at the @AZGOP meltdown over losing this election as much as anyone but this is dangerous. https://t.co/lO2qVFWEXm

Incoming Assistant Democratic House Leader Jennifer Longdon, a State Representative for Legislative District 24 commented for this article, stating:
“It is incredibly irresponsible for the Arizona Republican Party to sanction this kind of rhetoric. This isn’t a dog whistle. This is a bullhorn to recruit martyrs to the cause.”
“It is absolutely clear we’ve had a free, fair, and accurate election. But if you’re unhappy with the results, it does not mean there is evidence of electoral fraud that would overturn the election.”
“This is a craven attempt at subverting Democracy. This is now recruiting martyrs to acts of violence. At what point does this become seditious.”
“I call on every responsible Republican leader in the state of Arizona and this nation to clearly denounce this rhetoric and declare the election results to be valid and fair.”
“We have to put an end to this nonsense.”
Governor Doug Ducey, perhaps responding to the tweets from the fringe elements in his political party, posted on social media:
“The Republican Party is the party of the Constitution and the rule of law. We prioritize public safety, law & order, and we respect the law enforcement officers who keep us safe. We don’t burn stuff down. We build things up.”
The Arizona Governor, in a civil war with the very individuals who posted the above tweets for the soul of what is left of the Republican Party, needs to be more forceful in condemning what his party leadership posted on social media over the last 24 hours.
Today, the Arizona Supreme Court threw out Kelli Ward’s appeal to invalidate the Grand Canyon State’s certified election results.
The United States Supreme Court, in an apparently unanimous move, declined to hear an appeal from a Pennsylvania Congressman to invalidate the certified election results there.
The Trump Campaign has lost virtually every court hearing.
They have not produced ANY evidence of widespread fraud.
They have not even shown any evidence of small-scale fraud.
It is over.
Joe Biden will become the President of the United States on January 20, 2021.
Kamala Harris will become the Vice President on that day as well.
Donald Trump has never won the support of the majority of the American People.
Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by close to three million votes in 2016.
Joe Biden has trounced him by over seven million votes in 2020.
It is time for these “Republicans” in local, state, and federal elected offices to stop humoring the Chief Executive Demagogue, lying to their base, put country over party, and act like patriots instead of seditious traitors.
The election deniers and would-be thieves who posted the above tweets and their confederates in Arizona and across the nation should be shunned as political pariahs and excluded from any meaningful political activity in this Republic ever again.
Democracy and the rule of law did win in 2020. These people should not be in a position of power and influence where they can continue to attempt to undermine it.
Whatever is left of the Sane and Patriotic part of the Republican Party needs to push them out.
