Arizona GOP State Sen. Regrets Supporting 'Ridiculous' Audit That 'Makes Us Look Like Idiots'
Newsweek ^ | May 10, 2021 | Aila Slisco

Posted on 05/11/2021 1:18:06 PM PDT by Trump20162020

A Republican Arizona state senator has expressed embarrassment over the ongoing Maricopa County presidential election audit, saying the effort makes the state GOP "look like idiots."

State Sen. Paul Boyer, who previously voted in favor of the audit, now believes that the review is "ridiculous," according to an interview published by The New York Times on Sunday. The Republican-led audit has come considerable scrutiny over allegations of partisan bias, lack of transparency, general incompetence and security concerns.

"It makes us look like idiots," Boyer told the paper on Friday. "Looking back, I didn't think it would be this ridiculous. It's embarrassing to be a state senator at this point."

I think, at the end of the day, people like him are just, Not Democrats. If he ran as an Independent he’d get nothing. If he ran as a centrist Democrat he get no votes. If he ran as a Libertarian he’d get nothing.

Wants to be in politics soooooo bad that he has to live a lie in order to have the title and get a cool license plate.

Boyer is a linguini spined Teacher turned Senator. I just blasted him with a website comment. These traitors don’t even know the results of the audit and are already running for the hills!

"I'm done with the rest, and the party."

Evidently many voters in Georgia thought the same way.

Now we don't have a Senate to even slow down Hillary's party.

Trump knows that either the Democrats or the Republicans will control the U.S. government. He successfully captured the loyalty of a majority of Republicans. I know where my loyalty lies and as long as Trump leads the party I will follow.

Bummer deal. Let em have it. Let em have it all. Let it fall apart and then maybe, just maybe, we can find the intestinal fortitude to right the ship. It isn't going to happen voting for the GOP. At this point, fools are the only ones voting GOP.

“It isn't going to happen voting for the GOP. “

Do you believe that Democrats committed fraud to win the 2020 election?

If not, then I can understand your reasoning.

However, if you believe that the election was stolen, then you might ponder why that was necessary. The answer is that we were WINNING. I believe that our level of winning almost outstripped the Democrats ability to cheat.

Do you believe that the Democrats want you to hang tough and fight the cheating? Or do you think the Democrats want you to sulk, join a third party or stay home?

What happened in Georgia is exactly what the Democrats wanted. Thousands of Republicans stayed home. Like the result there? I don’t.

Of course they cheated, and their cheat game is going to be even better for '22 and '24. The ballot box is broken, and probably irreparably so.

The answer is that we were WINNING.

I'll give you that. BUT, the previous 4 years? The only ones that went to prison were Trump associates. That's it. Trump's DOJ wasn't ever going to charge the actual traitors with anything. It would have taken down too many Republicans with them (yet another reason to stop voting GOP - they are just as traitorous as the left, every single one of them).

Do you believe that the Democrats want

I don't really care what they want, aside from the destruction of America. Once they get what they want, real Americans will lose, a lot. Perhaps that will goad them into getting off their behinds and doing that which is critical at this point, now that we know beyond a doubt the ballot box is broken and the leftists cheat their way into power.

Like the result there? I don’t.

I don't care for it either, but the truth is, this is where we are going. At this point, voting isn't going to fix anything. Not a thing. Even IF the democrats weren't cheaters, the fact that the GOP is just as traitorous says to me that even electing "good" Republicans isn't going to fix anything. They don't WANT to fix anything, as that would severely jeopardize their standing, power & $$$.

"At this point, voting isn't going to fix anything."

We'll see. Maricopa County Supervisors seem to be quite excited about the audit going on there. Discrepancies involving voting in Michigan are still being looked at.

I recall that everybody thought Watergate was a big nothingburger when it happened. Eventually nearly 50 people were convicted of felonies.

Perhaps somebody in Maricopa County will be first. Then perhaps somebody at Dominion. There have to be records explaining why voting was halted simultaneously in so many places. It's not over yet.

Funny how the article has zero information about *why* he changed his mind about the audit.

My point is, nothing has happened to any of the traitorous wretches - not a damn one - and it ain't going to happen now. The last 4 years, only ones going to prison were Trump associates, with a Trump DOJ. Hoping someone pays for their crimes on the left is a lot of pie in the sky, by & by!

This RINO also voted with the rats previously, making the vote a 15-15 tie in the AZ Senate preventing the GOP Senators from moving forward with subpoenas and arrest powers.

In AZ, We The People Alliance have a recall petition/campaign underway on this backstabber. I couldn’t sign it because I live out of his district which is AZ LD #20. Time is running out as I think the recall has until Jun 7th to collect signatures.

Pass it on.

He needs to be primaried.
