Republicans To Sue AZ Gov Over LGBTQ Protections

January 10, 2023 LGBT News, Republicans

The Arizona Mirror reports:

The Arizona Freedom Caucus, an offshoot of the ultra-conservative Freedom Caucus in the U.S. House of Representatives, said Monday that it plans to sue Gov. Katie Hobbs for executive orders she issued in her first week on the job. Arizona Freedom Caucus Chairman and state Rep. Jake Hoffman accused Hobbs of attempting to legislate via “executive fiat.” The provisions are aimed at ensuring there is no discrimination against LGBTQ workers.

“If Katie Hobbs wants to legislate, she needs to get her butt out of the Governor’s Office and run for the legislature and come back and join us and do that job,” Hoffman told reporters on the grassy lawn in front of the state Senate. A woman in the crowd shouted back that Hobbs was “illegitimate.” “We need actual protests!” anti-LGBTQ activist and provocateur Ethan Schmidt yelled over Hoffman, claiming that the entire election was “rigged.”

Also attending the event was state Sen. Anthony “Capitol Riot” Kern, who appeared here earlier this week for his trio of anti-drag bills.

Rep. Jake Hoffman was in the national news last year as he is one of Arizona’s fake electors.

In 2020 Hoffman was banned by Twitter for running a paid teenage pro-Trump troll farm with Charlie Kirk.

Hoffman first appeared on JMG in January 2022 when he introduced a “No Promo Homo” education bill.

The above-cited Ethan Schmidt has appeared here multiple times, most recently when he was arrested for menacing gun reform advocates with an assault weapon.
