Kari Lake's loss is 100% on her. She literally told conservative republicans who liked McCain to 'get out.' So they did.
It's the worst move I've ever seen a candidate make. Actually telling voters in her own party NOT to vote for her. UNBELIEVABLE.
My Mom took her very last breath here on Earth on Saturday. I’m comforted by the fact that her very next breath, was in the presence of Jesus.
She battled the Coronavirus best she could. I’ll give her a hero’s send off today at 4pm. I hope u join us.
Goodbye Mom. I love u ❤️
This week we were told, if you don’t know someone w/ Coronavirus, you will.
My Mom, who battles cancer, tested positive. So far, she feels ok, but waiting to see if she gets sick is a helpless & awful feeling.
She’s a badass & God’s got her. I don’t like the Coronavirus’ odds.
Think Ducey even asked a single teacher what they thought before dropping masks in schools? Think he’s ever spoken to a teacher in his time as governor? No. And no.
4 weeks of school left & Ducey pulls the rug out from under school districts on masks. Much tougher now 4 schools to enforce masks. Teachers will be mask police now more than ever. Remember, Ducey only makes decisions based on what’s good 4 HIS future, not YOURS.
So Qari Lake blasts him for months calling him 'Do Nothing Ducey' and now he's kissing her butt. Politics man. Sad. Last week he said she's basically the worst thing to ever happen to AZ and now he loves her. Hypocrite.
As co-chairman of the Republican Governors Association, our organization is already active on the airwaves supporting Kari Lake’s candidacy. Congratulations to Kari on a hard-fought victory and to all the candidates who will be carrying the GOP banner in November. 3/
Ducey in his State of the State was ripping how other states handled the pandemic. Really? We are the worst on the planet here in AZ! AGAIN! It's like the last place team saying they're better than the first place team. Amazing what comes out of this man's mouth.
Got vaccinated, wore masks and were careful, but my wife tested positive for Covid. Mild symptoms so far. Thank God for the vaccine.
I’ll do the show from home. Not showing any symptoms yet. Canceled our vacation next week to Jamaica.
All I care about is that my wife is ok.
Ducey calls Mayor Gallego’s Covid policies “so weak, it’s funny.” What’s funny is when a ‘weak’ gov. makes all of his decisions for AZ based solely on how that decision will get him into the White House. A ‘strong’ gov. wouldn’t have kissed the rear end of Trump 24-7 in 2020.
I don’t think Gov. Ducey likes or respects women. He won’t take Sen. Sinema’s phone calls, but he’ll speak with Mark Kelly. VP Harris is ‘the worst choice’ for the border. He doesn’t include Kathy Hoffman in any big school decisions. And Gallego is a ‘weak’ leader. Bad look!
What a joke. Ducey was awful in 2020 and he’s acting like he heroically saved us from Covid. This clip is HOT GARBAGE and so was the job he did last year. He gave up on this state and waved the white flag hoping for a better gig in DC.
The latest immoral move from our immoral governor.
He’ll pay parents 7k to put their kid in private school w no masks.
He’s taking money away from kids in schools that have masks.
So he’ll pay you to do the wrong thing and penalize you for doing the right thing. 👎🏻🤦♂️🤮
Covid cases rise in kids by 30%! Looks like Gov. Ice Cream wants to create a super spreader event at Valley schools. When has a Governor anywhere actually tried to make kids LESS SAFE?? Answer. Right here in AZ.
Biden - ‘Local school officials are trying to keep children safe in a pandemic while their governor picks a fight with them and even threatens their jobs. Talk about bullying in schools," Hmmmm. Talking about our immoral Gov. Ducey? Yes.
Our kids cannot afford anymore time away from the classroom. Arizona children are in school and they’re going to stay in their classrooms.
@faulknerfocus
Another victim of Trump’s incompetence. This is what happens when you have a president who holds a maskless event with hundreds of people at the WH during a pandemic. Who’s next?? I hope McEnany doesn’t take a joyride around Walter Reed before she goes into quarantine.
Today Mark Finchem threatened to sue AZ TV stations if they didn’t take this ad off the air. He argues it defames him by pointing out his role organizing 1/6. NOTE: despite recent denials, his lawyers don’t challenge the ad identifying him as an Oathkeeper
Ask yourself this question. Is Ducey trying to CRUSH the virus? Is he using everything in that little tool box he keeps talking about? NO. He’s surrendered & waived the white flag. What IS he doing? Next to NOTHING. ‘Do Nothing Ducey.’ I thought he’d lead us better. I was wrong
Former Attorney General Mark Brnovich KNEW there was no widespread election fraud in AZ for the 2020 election, and LIED about it. He withheld that info from AZ voters and helped erode the people's trust in the election process. The man is a disgrace to this state.
Schools 7 Ducey 0
Currently school districts w/ mask mandates
-PHX Union High School District
-PHX Elementary School District
-Osborn School District
-Roosevelt School District
-Tucson Unified School District
-Creighton Elementary School
-Washington Elementary School District
Ducey is the worst and doesn’t care about the well-being of your child. He’s blocked schools from trying to protect your child if the numbers get bad. He only cares about his next job in politics. The Grim Reaper of AZ! Thanks for nothing Gov. Ice Cream!
Arizona does not allow mask mandates, vaccine mandates, vaccine passports or discrimination in schools based on who is or isn’t vaccinated. We’ve passed all of this into law, and it will not change.
See my statement on the updated CDC guidance:
The news that EVERYONE can now get a vaccine in Arizona 16 and over is amazing. This may be the single greatest day since the pandemic started. Thank you God!!!!!!! 🙏
@MeghanMcCain
will join us at 2pm Monday to kick off the show. She’s in quarantine in NYC. If some in AZ keep acting like this virus is no big thing, it will only spread faster!
Arizonans - do you want to be compared to the dumbasses on spring break in Florida or in Brooklyn ignoring our national emergency?!? I am SO DISSAPOINTED.
@dougducey
@kyrstensinema
- have you seen this?!?!
No governor. THIS is what a LEADER, Michael Crow, looks like. This is what it looks like to keep people safe.
It’s a CHOICE. CHOOSE to get vaccinated, go back to normal. CHOOSE not to get vaccinated, wear a mask. If you don’t like it, you can CHOOSE another college.
Anyone else notice that
#DoNothingDucey
won’t take a call from Sinema or Gallego or the Mayor of Tucson who is also a female? But he’ll buddy up to Sen. Mark Kelly?? Hmmmmm.
Breaking! Kelli Ward asks a judge if she can ‘look’ for evidence BEFORE she files a lawsuit to contest Arizona’s election! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. She has no evidence now, but hopes to find some later? 😂😂😂😂😂😂
More on Ducey’s lack of respect for women...Did he call or text or check on Secretary of State Katie Hobbs when Maga/QAnon conspiracy theorists protested outside of her home because they believed she rigged the 2020 presidential election in AZ?Hobbs told us he never contacted her
My Mom took her very last breath here on Earth on Saturday. As sad and distraught as I am, I’m comforted by the fact that her very next breath, was in the presence of Jesus.
Goodbye Mom, I love you!
Today I congratulated Governor-elect Katie Hobbs on her victory in a hard-fought race and offered my full cooperation as she prepares to assume the leadership of the State of Arizona.
Hearing some AZ bars & restaurants & other businesses have knowingly allowed employees w/ Covid to continue to work. OUTRAGEOUS! If this is the case, I’ll blast you on-air & on social & tell everyone to NEVER do business w/ you again. Your business will be dead to us.
#MaskUpAZ
Dear Lord,
Please wish my Mom a happy birthday for me in Heaven. Tell her I love her and miss her and that I’m ok so she doesn’t worry.
Amen.
Happy bday Mom 😊❤️
We have made it clear that we are anti vaccine mandate, but we are committed to getting the vaccine to anyone who wants it. Received an update from White House

Coordinator Jeff Zients and

I love this pic of me and my Mom. I just didn’t know it’d be the last one we ever took together.
Happy Mother’s Day Mom! No mourning or sadness today. I choose to celebrate you! I was a lucky guy to have you for 46 years. 😊

This was waiting for me when I got home tonight. My beautiful wife put a special dinner together to celebrate my Mother, who passed away from Covid two years ago today. What a wonderful surprise.

@dougducey
mocked Joe Biden’s stutter. I’ve had problems with his handling of education & Covid at times, but he doesn’t ridicules people. When my Mom died of Covid, Ducey went out of his way & left me an extremely nice voice mail. Only a decent person does that
Well old friend, I'm going to miss you. I'm just devastated. You always had the best seats to the D'Backs games & you were always nice enough to invite me from time to time. I'm sure your friend John McCain was there to welcome you at gates of Heaven. God bless you

@GaydosKTAR
continues to have strong words for Mark Brnovich.
"How do you go out in public if you're Mark Brnovich, and you've lied to the entire state of Arizona?"
Andy Biggs is a disgrace and played a part in the violence at the Capitol by spewing bs conspiracy theories about the election. He’s a pathetic excuse for a ‘leader’ and it’s a damn shame he ‘represents’ Arizona.

or online:
Ducey is such a weak leader. And I use the term ‘leader’ loosely. He knows there’s no fraud but he hides behind a keyboard and won’t come out & back AZ. He’d rather back Mr. SoreLoser. Ducey gave up on us long ago.
The President, just like any other candidate, has the right to all available legal challenges and remedies, and we are confident they will be properly adjudicated. We will respect the election results. 3/3
This is disgusting. Brnovich hid a report that no fraud or election rigging took place in AZ whatsoever. He kept ‘the big lie’ going on purpose. The only fraud here is Mark Brnovich.
Bombshell: former AG Mark Brnovich suppressed results of an investigation that debunked the findings of the 2020 election "audit" and released a misleading "interim report" that contradicted investigators' recommendations.
Gaydos - Everyone keeps asking the question, when will teachers return to the classroom? Wrong question.
You should be asking, when will the legislature pass the budget that includes a 20% pay raise for teachers?
#RedForEd
Hoping Gov. Ducey has his weekly press conference today. AZ needs to hear why Covid 19 cases are spiking. It’s not time to panic, but it is time for Ducey to act. What’s the plan?

Mom left us to be w/ Jesus 1 year today.
Such a painful memory the day that Covid took her life.
Every night for 365 days, I’ve asked God for one thing. ‘Lord, could you kiss my Mom on the cheek and tell her I’m ok so she doesn’t worry.’
I’m ok Mom, but I miss you everyday.
Chris Paul has Covid but is asymptomatic & has the vaccine. The NBA should allow him to play!
If u get the vaccine & still get Covid, u won’t get sick or spread the virus. That’s the science! NBA says NO 2 a vaccinated Paul on a court w 10 people but YES to 20k fans in an arena?
AZGOP has spent the last four years losing every major statewide race, and we are currently in the weakest position in Arizona we’ve been in as a party in 50 years.
It’s time for Kelli Ward to resign as AZGOP Chair.
You all have a choice. Vaccine or new job. Real simple.
I don’t think you are much of a health care worker if you are unvaccinated. You are around sick people! Selfish.
HAPPENING NOW: Healthcare workers are gathering outside of the

Gov Ducey made many bad moves during this pandemic. He’s the boss & should take a big portion of the blame. Arizonans have also done a poor job. If AZ’s leader & many who live here make bad decisions all at once, ur state becomes a gigantic mess. Welcome to a gigantic mess.
Let’s ALL be thank the

Yes, it’s heartbreaking to lose the NBA Finals.
But this team brought us so much JOY as we emerged from the worst of the pandemic.
Every game brought us closer together. The Suns rallied the Valley.
What a ride. Thank you Suns.
#RallyTheValley
I love that Arizona rejected election deniers.
I hope the GOP moves on from Trump and the bs conspiracy theories and returns to being the party of Reagan.
This is a complete and total embarrassment for the state. AZ is a Covid hotspot and stupid people are partying at clubs owned by stupid reckless people and our governor is just letting it happen. Outrageous!
#MaskUpAZ
During the

crisis that has killed nearly 1,200 Arizonans and sickened thousands more, nightclubs are not an essential service. Reopening bars/clubs without clear guidelines to protect staff/patrons goes against

#StayHome
It is a high honor to be included in a group of Arizonans who have served our state and our nation so well...and who, like my late husband John, have been censured by the AZGOP. I’ll wear this as a badge of honor.
Today, Gov. Ducey required restaurants with indoor seating to operate at less than 50% capacity. Um...He already did that in June. THIS IS NOT NEW.
Last week, he announced the shut down of movie theaters. He did that in March. Um...yeah....ok.....Um......
@azcapmedia
U know me! I don't play nice so politicians come on the show. I tell it like it is & if they want to come on, fine. I can look at myself in the mirror after every show. How can Ducey look in the mirror after his new favorite Qari Lake just bashed his so called friend John McCain?
We need a plan Gov Ducey
It took AZ a month at start of Covid to reach 1,500 cases. 2day we added that number in 1 day
ER COVID cases: highest ever
Inpatient cases: highest ever
Intubations: highest ever
ICU beD use: highest ever
Ventilator usage: highest ever w/in last week
BREAKING: Gov. Doug Ducey ordered bars, nightclubs, gyms, movie theaters and water parks to close for at least 30 days amid a surge of coronavirus cases in the state. I hope it’s not too late. Ducey should’ve shut bars & clubs down 5 weeks ago.
#MaskUpAz
The people who keep voting this racist back into office time and time again may want to look in the mirror and themselves if they agree with white supremacy. Then maybe they’ll vote him out next time.
This is very concerning.
@uarizona
says we’re heading towards a health catastrophe in Arizona.
@dougducey
can take action now to
#slowthespread
so our hospitals don’t have to choose who gets care and who doesn’t. Pls join me in asking him to act.
Wondering whether the vaccine is safe? I took my 1st shot yesterday. My arm’s a little sore like with the flu vaccine. But I feel great. And my run today? Faster than yesterday’s. I hope you all will join me in getting the vaccine as soon as it’s available to you & your families.
Looks like all school districts are keeping masks on kids for next 4 weeks. Does Ducey ever get tired of everyone in Arizona NOT doing what he says? 🤣.
#IgnoreDucey
So far, I haven’t seen any Valley school districts say they’re removing their mask mandates. All that Ive seen maintain they’ll keep mask mandates and other motivations in place.
This is so pathetic 🤣. How many Republicans will turn away from the party bc of this foolishness? No proof of fraud. Sore losers that aren’t living in reality. Yes, I’m laughing AT you AZ GOP 😂😂😂
