The Republican head of a county elections office in Arizona — a state currently in the midst of a partisan recount of the 2020 presidential election — called former President Donald Trump "unhinged" over the weekend over his repeated false claims about the vote.....
On Thursday, the Republican chairman of the Maricopa county board of supervisors issued a statement in which he blasted the private contractorhired to reexamine the election results, saying they "are in way over their heads."
"The contractors hired by the Senate President are not auditors and they are not certified by the U.S. Elections Assistance Commission ... This is not funny; this is dangerous," Chairman Jack Sellers wrote in the statement, adding that the claims that files had been deleted from the county server were "not true."
"I know you have all grown weary of the lies and half-truths six months after the 2020 General Election," Sellers added.
Speaking to the New York Times last week, Arizona state Sen. Paul Boyer — who initially voted in favor of the audit — now calls it "ridiculous."
"It makes us look like idiots," Boyer told the Times. "Looking back, I didn't think it would be this ridiculous. It's embarrassing to be a state senator at this point."
It appears there are finally Republicans who are sick and tired of looking foolish defending Trump’s Big Lie.
