Gideon Rubin reports, ‘War phase’: Far-right Arizona Rep. demands ‘eye for an eye’ after Trump indictment:
A far right Arizona congressman on Friday appeared to call for unrest in an incendiary social media post.
We have now reached a war phase.
Eye for an eye.
— Rep Andy Biggs (@RepAndyBiggsAZ) June 9, 2023
Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) said “we have now reached a war phase” as prosecutors unsealed a 37-count indictment against former President Donald Trump in connection with the handling of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate.
Special counsel Jack Smith unsealed the charges Friday.
“We have now reached a war phase,” Biggs tweeted. “Eye for an eye.”
Biggs in a social media post earlier on Friday echoed the former president’s allegation that Trump is the victim of a political persecution.
“The Biden Admin is weaponizing our federal police apparatus to target their top political opponent,” Biggs tweeted.
“Even worse, their move comes as soon as we unveiled that both Joe and Hunter received $5 million from a foreign entity. This is exactly what an authoritarian regime looks like.” [Classic psychological projection here.]
I took apart his bullshit claim about Joe Biden receiving bribe money in an earlier post. Corrupt Republicans Abusing Committee Powers To Pursue Rudy Giuliani’s Russian Disinformation Against Biden In Reprisal of ‘Benghazi!’ Playbook. President Biden should sue this traitorous piece of shit for defamation. I would prefer to see Special Counsel Jack Smith indict him for his role as a Coup Plotter.
Biggs, a third-term congressman and a loyal Trump supporter who backs the former president’s baseless claims that the 2020 election was stolen, is no stranger to controversy.
The Intercept reported, FREEDOM CAUCUS CHAIR ANDY BIGGS HELPED PLAN JANUARY 6 EVENT, LEAD ORGANIZER SAYS:
THE HEAD OF the House Freedom Caucus, Republican Rep. Andy Biggs of Arizona, helped plan the January 6 event that culminated in a storming of the Capitol, according to Ali Alexander, a lead organizer of the gathering. Alexander, a pro-Trump personality, was an early founder of the “Stop the Steal” movement and helped bring together various right-wing factions around a mass event on January 6, aimed to coincide with objections to the counting of Electoral College votes.
Alexander made his claim in three separate livestreams in late December, adding that Reps. Paul Gosar of Arizona and Mo Brooks of Alabama were also involved. “We’re the four guys who came up with a January 6 event,” Alexander said. On December 8, the Arizona Republican Party boosted Alexander, asking supporters if they were willing to give their lives in the fight over the results of the presidential election.
His claim is also buttressed by a fourth video from a December 19 rally at the Arizona State Capitol, at which Alexander played a video that Biggs had supplied. In the video, Biggs mentions Brooks as his ally in the fight. Gosar spoke in person at the event.
