Katie Hobbs who is running against Kari Lake to be Governor of Arizona has had several blips in her run for Governor. Her refusal to debate should be the top story in the campaign but it looks like a Northam-like issue has popped up. Hobbs was on the committee which designed and promoted her spirit week in high school as a freshman, and in that spirit week, there was ‘Slave Day’ on which students were sold to upperclassmen for the day and required to perform tasks with some even wearing collars and leashes.

This editor does not really think this should be a big deal or a story at all, but the left has made things like this a story. The left has brought this insanity onto all of us.

While this silly game can be exhausting our hope is that if we push the Democrats to be held to their own standards for GOP candidates, the game may change.

Personally, I don’t think it’s a big deal. Hobbs will lose because she’s a poor candidate and lacks solutions to problems.
Hobbs refusing to debate Lake politically destroyed her. End of story. Anyone refusing to debate their opponent, is all ya need to know.
Lake will be the next AZ Governor.
I don’t get this. We had slave day in my high school. I’m more concerned about her extreme views on abortion and not wanting to debate.
I hope Hobbs loses, but not because of a traditional silly high school ritual she was involved with, a ritual that had nothing whatsoever to do with negros.
There’s enough reason to dislike her and her Party, not to have to deal with nonsense that happened at her school when she was 16 years old.
Hobbs should be defeated for being a Demonicrat. That should be sufficient reason for decent human beings. It remains to be seen if Arizona has sufficient number of decent human beings.
“Democrat”
All is forgiven. Having that “D” next to your name is even better than a Papal Indulgence.

As I understand Hobbs didn’t debate in the dem primaries either. I heard her response on Face the Nation where she said she wouldn’t debate because her opponent has turned it into a circus.
Dems can always come up with an excuse and the MSM doesn’t follow-up or laugh at these lame responses. They get a free pass for anything.
The diehards on the left or right know what’s going on but the non-political types in the middle have to actually pay attention to figure out these smooth deceptions. By definition they are non-political types so they don’t always pay close attention and analyze it themselves.
I’ve said it before — unless you find a way to fix or at least compensate for the MSM propaganda machine we are fighting an uphill battle.
Ralph Northam was already governor when the yearbook thing surfaced (how the hell did Ed Gillespie’s opposition research team miss that one?). Northam didn’t need to “overcome” anything, all he had to do was wait two or three weeks like any politician needs to, because people have short memories and the outrage machine always runs of steam pretty quick.
Talk about your non issue. A what? 14 or 15 year old kid did something meaningless that offends some woke idiots 40 years later or whatever?
Lake should crush her I really don’t see how this is even close…
Exactly. My high school didn’t do anything fun like slave day, but if it did I wouldn’t have thought twice about doing it. The 70’s were a different time. Funny, the things that matter today also mattered in the 70’s, like abortion and extreme liberals (leftists).
Billboard:
Be a Slave. Vote for those who know better than you how you should live your life, spend your money, raise your kids.
We had slave days in my Junior Classical League chapter in high school. We were all white!!!!
So what?
Katie Hobbs is a poor candidate, whatever she did in high school!!!!
One way to compensate the MSM propaganda is by each one of us to inform others: to blog, to research & summarize the news for others who are too busy or don’t like politics, to look for and inform the truth via all the platforms.
This is all silly but it’s the liberal chickens coming home to roost.
When I was in college, pledging a fraternity, my pledge class ran a slave auction at our affiliated all girls college. I was purchased by Betty and her friends. While I wish it was a better story, I just had to spend the day hanging out with the girls in the all girls dorm. It was a good time, a very good time.
But as Alinsky said, hold the opposition to their own standards.
Democrats have never cared about racism, it’s just a tool of division for them. That’s the extent of their concern. The Democrat voters are no different. Something like this would be effective against their opposition, but that’s pretty much it.
