A Republican running for a seat in the Arizona Legislature is facing criticism after two pictures that appeared to show her in blackface and brownface surfaced with just a few weeks to go before the midterm elections.
The two photographs released on social media are believed to show Mary Ann Mendoza, a Republican, dressed in an "Aunt Jemima" costume with blackface and dressed as the Native American figure Pocahontas with her face painted brown.
The Washington Examiner has not been able to verify the photos independently, but Mendoza's political opponents have already used them to paint Mendoza as a racist.
Democratic candidate Lorena Austin said in a statement that the "hate-filled" pictures should disqualify Mendoza from running.
"Frankly, it's racist rhetoric that is very harmful to communities that reside right here in Mesa," she said.

I seen Candace Owens wearing blackface.
Biden invited a man dressed as a woman to the White House and that man carried on about tampons and pads—offensive as h***.
If a man can do that and a man can use the women’s restrooms and dressing rooms—who gaf if somebody has brown or black face.
Ditto…so? I remember my Dad doing blackface and I was allowed to sit in the front row of the theater. I was SO PROUD of HIM. I’m 80 now, Dad was about 50 at the time. This was back in the ‘40s and this was very much accepted at the time. Remember Al Jolson? One of THE BEST at the time. My point, blackface done today with all the Karen wokers is bad…but only in their warped minds. These people think 16 year old Greta Thornberg is an oracle. We have to lower our expectations concerning IQ when dealing with such people. What I’d give today if I had a film if Dad at that minstrel show. Blackface? So what?
So is it okay when the governor was in blackface who was in office before Youngkin?
anything to shift attention away from the dems’ sucky policies
