Katie Hobbs Has No Interest In The Responsibilities Of A Governor

Published

on

Arizona Secretary of State and Democrat gubernatorial candidate Katie Hobbs has no interest in being governor. She might want the title, the prestige, and the benefits, but she has no enthusiasm for doing the job, and she said so explicitly.

On Tuesday, the investigative group Project Veritas published its latest exposé, which revealed why Hobbs has refused a debate with her Republican opponent, former local news anchor Kari Lake.

“I don’t want to talk politics with anyone who I don’t know,” Hobbs said on footage captured on hidden camera.

Refusal to engage with your political opponents as an elected official with power is bad enough, but what’s worse is that Hobbs made the comment while describing a conversation she had with an Uber driver who inquired about her work.

“I was like, ‘uh, I work for a campaign,’” Hobbs said. “I don’t know why I said that — I just didn’t want to have this conversation. And he’s like, ‘Oh, Kari Lake?’ And I was like, ‘F-ck no!’ I don’t want to talk to you. I don’t want to talk politics to anyone who I don’t know.”

It makes sense why someone might not want to engage with strangers about politics, but not when you’re already a statewide elected official now seeking the top job in all of Arizona. It especially doesn’t apply to engaging your opponent about your political differences on a debate stage.

In her refusal to debate Lake, Hobbs is denying Arizona voters the democratic opportunity to see their two gubernatorial candidates side-by-side in an open forum because she “doesn’t want to talk politics to anyone who I don’t know.” Apparently, no one told Hobbs that it’s part of being governor. But the comment reveals something more disturbing about the Democrat’s own candidacy: Hobbs has no curiosity why her constituents might like her Republican challenger.

A genuine public servant might have probed a bit deeper into the Uber driver’s own values and priorities rather than shut down the conversation. Hobbs, however, took the elitist route with an “I don’t want

The Abortion Lies Kamala Will Spew In Atlanta Are The Ones That Killed Amber Thurman And Candi Miller

Published

on

Vice President Kamala Harris will use her short appearance in Atlanta Friday afternoon to falsely blame Georgia’s lifesaving pro-life law for the deaths of at least two women. The untimely passings of Amber Thurman, Candi Miller, and their babies, however, had nothing to do with the Peach State’s protections and everything to do with Democrats and corporate media’s dangerous abortion rhetoric.

ProPublica, an outlet known for doing Democrats’ dirty work, resurfaced Thurman’s and Miller’s 2022 passings this week in an attempt to vilify pro-life laws ahead of the 2024 election. The women’s deaths were both the direct result of a drug regimen responsible for more than half of the nation’s abortions. Still, ProPublica skipped past the sometimes fatal complications and a significant number of emergency room visits associated with mifepristone and misoprostol to insist that the women lost their lives because they and the doctors responsible for treating them were scared out of it by pro-lifers.

Shortly after the articles’ publication, Harris posted a four-part statement to X falsely claiming “Trump Abortion Bans prevent doctors from providing basic medical care.”

“Women are bleeding out in parking lots, turned away from emergency rooms, losing their ability to ever have children again,” she wrote. “Survivors of rape and incest are being told they cannot make decisions about what happens next to their bodies. And now women are dying. These are the consequences of Donald Trump’s actions.”

According to an unnamed senior Harris campaign official, the Democrat will echo these accusations about Trump — many of which

‘Never Seen This Before’: Georgia GOP Eyes Comeback With New Strategy After Biden’s 2020 Win

Published

on

For the first time in 28 years, Georgia elected a Democrat as president in 2020, with President Joe Biden winning the state by 11,779 votes. But on-the-ground Republican leaders told The Federalist they hope this year will be different — and that the campaign’s operations are like nothing “seen … before.”

Axios reportedly obtained a copy of Trump campaign training materials that describe the campaign’s 2020 efforts as “inefficient.” The materials reportedly prioritize focusing on “hard-to-reach, low-propensity voters.” The Trump campaign confirmed to The Federalist its efforts to target low-propensity voters and encourage voters to vote early.

“Team Trump is doubling down on our efforts to reach voters where they are at and share President Trump’s plans to make America prosperous again,” RNC Battleground States Communications Director Rachel Reisner told The Federalist in a statement. “Team Trump continues to build out the most sophisticated and modern approach, ever.”

And Republican county chairs are attesting to the new efforts.

DeKalb County

DeKalb Republican Party Chairwoman Marci McCarthy told The Federalist that current operations are “really different from their 2020 operations. I’ve actually never seen this before.”

“We feel like we’re getting great support from the Trump Force 47 team,” McCarthy told The Federalist. “We’re having training in the field offices twice a week, they’re doing phone banking, they’re teaching them how to utilize the technology, how to engage with voters. They’ll do some training with canvassing, and then they’ll take volunteers right out to do canvassing. They also encourage them to

Conservative PACs Plan To Put New Mexico In Play This Fall

Published

on

No Republican has won statewide in New Mexico for 10 years. A series of ad buys from multiple political action groups aims to change that this November.

Earlier this month, the Piñon Post, a conservative state paper, reported on a new commercial campaign attempting to spoil Democrats’ expectation to maintain the state’s five electoral votes for Kamala Harris and reelect Sen. Martin Heinrich. The ads from a group called Election Freedom, Inc., attack Heinrich and Harris over inflation and the incumbent border crisis.

Derek Dufresne, a consultant for the 501(c)(4) political advocacy group, told The Federalist the New Mexico campaign was “a significant, seven-figure investment,” but did not provide an exact total.

“We are running an aggressive, complete, issue-based campaign focusing on the significant policy failures of Kamala Harris and Martin Heinrich, which will continue through November,” Dufresne said.

The ads highlight high food, energy, and mortgage costs in a border state overwhelmed by migration.

Another ad campaign from the group Frontiers of Freedom Action (FFA) targets Heinrich as one of three western senators hit by a multi-state media blitz highlighting Democrats’ anti-Catholic bigotry. The ads aired in both English and Spanish to target southwestern Hispanics disillusioned by the Democrats’ extremism, which conflicts with religious liberty.

“When Hispanic voters — especially Hispanics who attend Catholic Mass — come to learn about their senator’s record of anti-Catholic bigotry, they are going to be stunned,” George Landrith, the group’s president, said in a press release.

“Republicans too often forget
