Ousted GOP speaker of house in Arizona: "This place has lost it's mind."

Ousted Republican reflects on Trump, democracy and America: ‘The place has lost its mind’

Rusty Bowers stood up to the former president’s demand that he overturn Arizona’s election result. He paid the price but has no regrets

www.theguardian.com

His daughter was inside the house dying from liver failure when band of trump supporters came to his farm to threaten him to overturn the 2020 election.

As January 6 approached, and the cries of stolen election reached fever pitch, the attacks on Bowers became personal. A “Trump train” of angry fanatics blaring their horns in pickup trucks festooned with Maga flags turned up at his home in Mesa, some bearing digital boards proclaiming him to be a pedophile.

To protect his family, he would step outside the house and confront the protesters. One man had three bars on his chest, signaling he was a member of the far-right militia group the Three Percenters. The man was screaming obscenities and carrying a pistol. “I had to get as close to him as I could to defend myself if he went for the gun.”

The worst of it was that during several of these menacing protests, his daughter Kacey was inside the house mortally ill in bed with liver failure. “She would say, ‘What are they doing out there?’ She was emotional. She told me, ‘I’m going to die.’ I said, ‘Honey, you’re not going to die.’ So she had feelings, we were trying to keep her positive.”

Kacey Bowers did die, on 28 January, three weeks after the insurrection at the US Capitol.

I asked Bowers whether, through all this, he had ever doubted his strength to stand up to the onslaught. Were his values tested?

“I never had the thought of giving up,” he said. “No way. I don’t like bullies. That’s one constant in my life: I. Do. Not. Like. Bullies.”

I really cannot believe anyone can stoop as low as these people did. His daughter is on her dying bed and the mob is outside trying to get him to overturn the 2020 election.

Yes, dignity in politics is a rare thing anymore.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

It's patriotic to protest at the homes of those you disagree with politically. It's patriotic to stop traffic and prevent ambulances from getting to the hospital. Even if someone dies. The cause is that important.

 

[MarathonMike]

That's unfortunate. I notice your outrage is limited to Trump supporters and you could care less about the maniacs threatening our Supreme Court Justices. Maybe you could be less politically selective about your outrage.

 

[miketx]

Fake news.

Please. So many layers of bullshit going on here. What about Ashli Babbitt, the only REAL casualty of January 6th, shot down by a panicky Capital hill cop. But that was OK.

Poor lefties hate when we exercise actual democracy.

What about all the Democrats that FLED the so called "democrats" because the party has become so toxic, corrupt and vile? ( like me, for instance). The "walkaway' movement for example. The democrats don't deserve that NAME anymore.

They watch too many cowboy movies out in that part of the country. They are in love with the kind of mythical masculinity where "the Hero" can go slaughter a whole tribe of indians and then walk up to the church house with a clean conscience sure that he did what had to be done.

But yet you were fine with an armed assassin stalking Kavanaugh at his home and angry protesting daily in front of his home, shouting and obscenities and threats at his wife and kids all because Kavanaugh had the gall to stand up to bullies.

We know these things happened to Kavanaugh. They are completely documented. However, we do not know if any of the Arizona speaker's accounts are true. We only have his words.

There is politics as normal and then there is an attack on our democracy. The true conservative from Arizona is talking about the latter....which was headed by the man who stole and hid classified documents in his Florida cat house.

Please stay on topic. You want to talk about the woman who died after believing trumps lies...start your own thread.

That went over your head. I am saying if he did that he is acting like a Democrat.
