Wendy Rogers is a 'disgrace' to the Legislature, but not because of her politics

Freshman state Sen. Wendy Rogers, R-Flagstaff, has been among
the most prominent voices lying about the 2020 presidential
election. But her bombast goes well past political puffery. After
the recent massacre in Buffalo that police believe was at the hands
of a white racist, Rogers crossed a line in a vague social media
post that fueled a conspiracy that the slayings were part of a
federal false-flag operation. Nearly all her Arizona Senate
colleagues voted for an ethics investigation, but they limited
their scrutiny to a seven-word post after the slayings in which she
noted that “Fed boy summer has started in Buffalo.” They rejected a
Democratic measure to immediately expel her. The Senate Ethics
Committee is scheduled to meet Wednesday on the investigation into
Rogers and her tweet. In this episode, Brian Levin, a national
expert on hate and extremism at California State University, San
Bernardino, joins The Gaggle. He explains how Rogers and the rise
of extremists in Arizona compares to what is happening more widely
across the country. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit
