Report: Katie Hobbs Asked Twitter to Censor Users Criticizing Her Trump ‘Neo-Nazi’ Post Uncovered by Breitbart
Breitbart ^ | August 10, 2023 | JORDAN DIXON-HAMILTON

Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs (D) reportedly reached out to Twitter in 2020 to censor users who criticized her 2017 posts uncovered by Breitbart News, in which she claimed former President Donald Trump had a “neo-nazi base.”

Days after the 2020 election, Breitbart News reported that Hobbs said Trump had a “neo-nazi base” while she was serving as a Democrat state senator in 2017. Hobbs’ tweet appeared to be a reaction to the false narrative that Trump praised neo-nazi rioters in Charlottesville.

On Thursday, Fox News revealed that Hobbs emailed Twitter in an attempt to censor critics who were upset with her posts about Trump and his base, relying on recently obtained emails.

As Fox News reported: 

On Nov. 13, 2020, Hobbs emailed Twitter — using her official Arizona secretary of state email — asking the support team to take action against her online trolls.

Twitter asked for more information and for Hobbs to provide examples for her request, which Hobbs was unable to provide.

Hobbs’ request for Twitter to silence her critics came one day after Breitbart News published the report revealing her feelings about the Trump base. 

In her response to Twitter, Hobbs claimed she was being harassed and abused by the “alt-right.”

“I am not sure I can provide the information you are asking for because I reported and then blocked multiple users at the same time,” Hobbs responded to Twitter. “The alt-right got a hold of a 3-year-old tweet on my account and have been sending harassing, abusive, and threatening tweets and direct messages for the last 2 days.”

AZCapitol’s Brian Anderson told Fox News the emails “leave no doubt that Katie Hobbs abused her position of power in government.”

It’s a bitter irony that those who accuse Donald Trump of being a Neo nazi act like nazis themselves.

Yeah. Whoever the "alt-right" is. As if that ignorant dirtbag would even know, she just heard someone else use the term.

If she found anything even a tenth as heinous as her tripe from any one of us or an opponent of hers, and it was from 40 years ago, she would be right on it.

How I despise her.

Hobbs is a special kind of whack job. Definitely not smart enough to hold any office. She’s a total post turtle.

It’s convenient that this was reported AFTER the election.
