Breitbart News reached out to multiple members of the “Republicans for Katie Hobbs” coalition, who stumped for Hobbs in Paradise Valley Sunday, to see if they still support Hobbs, but only one responded to a comment request. Former Scottsdale Mayor Sam Campana reaffirmed her support for the Democrat in the wake of the Daily Mail’s shocking report. On Monday, the outlet reported that Hobbs was a member of the student council at Seton Catholic Preparatory High School, where “Slave Day” was an annual tradition:
One example from the 1985 yearbook, which would have been the end of Hobbs’ freshman year, describes “slaves” in her grade “wearing unbecoming hairdoes and unbecoming outfits, sporting embarrassing signs and performing embarrassing acts of servitude for senior masters for a day.”
It’s not clear if Hobbs participated herself in the “auctions,” but her 1987 Student Council page credits her and the other student leaders for having “coordinated the many class events during Spirit Week” – when Slave Day appears to have been celebrated.
A 1986 yearbook shows one photo of a girl seemingly sporting black paint on her face while participating in “Slave Day,” and members of the senior class were subjects of auctions, per the Mail. Hobbs’s team ignored three comment requests from the publication.
Lake, who attended a dueling rally held by former President Donald J. Trump on Sunday in Mesa, pointed out in a statement Monday that Hobbs is a “twice convicted racist” stemming from the Talonya Adams lawsuit.

Hobbs refuses to debate Lake and caught heat last week for struggling to name one thing she has learned from Arizona’s Latino community.
I tweeted Hobbs asking her what kind of yummy foods they had at slave day, but she never responded. You listen to her talk and you just know she’s an idiot..she makes Biden sound coherent
“Republicans for Katie Hobbs”?? Reminds me of Virginia, where former “republican” Senator John Warner not only endorsed Democrat Mark Warner for the Senate, but he actually made a commercial for him. And no need to mention the glorious warmonger Bush and Cheney families - they want conservatives around at Election Time, the rest of the time they can laugh at you bc such backstabbing mockery will get them invited to a dinner or drink with the Democratic elites, to which they really belong. And if they trash Trump and the populists enough, their family members might get hired by the media at high levels of compensation. There’s much to be made by sellouts and they are not giving up their principles since they never had any.
Racist, okay with FULL TERM baby killing vile minion .... please, AZ, shove this evil being to the sea (to the curb!!).
demoncrat, or republican, this is one of the silliest ‘issues’ I’ve heard of all year.
People shouldn’t be held accountable for the stupid things they did as kids ( she was 14 freshman ). There enough out there to show why she doesn’t deserve to be governor.
Hey... We had that in school too... It was a lot of fun for everyone and no one complained one bit, not even the Blacks or hispanics because we were all equally slaves. It was a chance to party and drink on campus and raised a lot of money for Senior trip.
Only total crybabies would have bitched, And they would have been shunned by EVERYONE the following four years for being a crybaby. and not allowed to participate when it was their turn as a senior. A black guy bought me... It was fun... We got drunk at the event lunch on the lawn. lol

This is one of those “sauce for the goose” kind of moments. It is horribly silly, BUT exactly what the dems have been using to cancel our side.
Well, it was a Catholic school, so maybe the “slaves” were meant to symbolize Christians enslaved by the Turks.
Katie Hobbs should lose to Keri, because Katie is hiding...
There is a reason she refused to debate Kari Lake.
They were afraid she would do so badly, she would torpedo Mark Kelly too.
Frankly Hobbs is toast.
I expect a clean sweep in Nov as Kari will drag everyone else with her.
Why wear black face to appear as a slave? The first slaves I remember were in the middle east building Pharoah’s pyramids. Were the serfs of Britain much different than slaves? The Romans brought back slaves from everywhere in the world. If you are going to have a Slave Day, think globally.
