Find a tall tree and 'decorate' it...

An unpublished op-ed by Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer discovered through a public records request reveals that he believes the First Amendment is “the biggest threat to elections and Democracy,” Americans ‘ opinions are “disturbing,” and that “it may be time to revisit our First Amendment jurisprudence.”
The election official in Arizona’s largest county also refers to his constituents and Trump supporters who know that Joe Biden didn’t legitimately win 81 million votes as “gullible,” “crazies,” and “idiots.” He even suggests that suing citizens for defamation would be a remedy to his problems if it weren’t for the First Amendment.
Jack Butler, editor of The National Review, rejected the drafted op-ed, citing Richer’s attack on freedom of speech.
However, days earlier, Richer apparently gave a similarly written speech, ironically in commemoration of Constitution Day, to students of the Maricopa County Community College District, which was approved by the district beforehand.
In his drafted speech, Richer warns, “Despite what I’m going to say, I’m a huge fan of the Constitution” before remarking that “the Constitution today is in some ways a thorn in the side of my office. Specifically the First Amendment.” He also states, “It’s possible that our First Amendment jurisprudence needs to change,” even calling it a “religious problem.

It should be remembered that Richer oversaw early voting in Lake’s stolen 2022 election for governor and founded and operated the Pro-Democracy Republicans dark money PAC aimed at eliminating candidates with a MAGA agenda. He is anything but an objective election official, and when catastrophes such as 60% of machines failing on election day and an estimated hundreds of thousands of early ballots being counted with no signature verification occurred in a race that Lake reportedly lost by less than 1%

Shy would a nice Jewish biy be AGAINST THE FIRST AMENDMENT? HELLO!!! FREEDOM of RELIGION!! STUPID!
That thieving bitch Hobbs knew this traitor was positioned to help her steal the election from Lake. I was in AZ at the time and Hobbs was doing the Biden basement move. Despite every poll had her losing she had this smug no worry attitude because she knew the rig was set and pricks like guy would make it hold.
It wasn’t a novel. It was prophecy.
Precisely. That’s exactly what happened.
The irony of it all is the very reason the First Amendment exists is because of idiots like this.
He is a democrat that ran as a republican, which happens a lot in our elections.
These folks are not “Rinos” they are democrats.
And we should call them that so we will better know and identify who they really are.
Let’s start by restricting his free speech to attack our Constitution.
Let’s see if I understand 21st Century USA:
If enough natural born”citizens”who were raised to be grateful for birth HERE & taught to love the TIMELESS IDEA & VALUES of America ABORT THEIR babies, ISLAM will soon replace “America”...AND ALL OF YOU NON-MUSLIMS (IF THEY DIDN’T KILL YOU OUTRIGHT)
And we all know how Islam treats ladies...!

PS: Grateful thanks to all those “PUBLIC OFFICIALS” WHO SOLD THEIR SOULS TO BRING US TO THIS POINT OF NO RETURN!
Elections and democracy are two things the democrats never use it’s how the get into D.C. arena.
Joey taps ring on his walker.
I’d live to see someone in AZ deny this gas bag his Constitutional right of life.
Like Speaker Mike Johnson
Yeah, I don’t think you know how this works. People talking shit or talking up candidates IS what constitutes democracy. And the opinions held by us normals are guaranteed to be at least as valid as the preapproved opinions you and your statist tyranny-loving boot licking buddies want to limit public discourse to. AND, ‘democracy’ isn’t the goal anyway. Democracy is no more than a necessary evil, an ugly mole on the side of a republic of this size whose basic intended function is to protect individual autonomy.
Shudder. Unfortunately, you’re correct. That is why I call them Demonicrats.
