Documents Show Plot To Overturn Arizona Election Results Included Right Wing Media Personalities

According to documents that have been released by an independent watchdog group, the plot to overturn the Arizona election results from the 2020 election was far more involved than we realized. The plans, revealed in the documents, show that Republicans wanted to create a coordinated messaging campaign using prominent right wing figures like Charlie Kirk and Sean Hannity. This just provides more evidence that the entire ballot "audit" was a farce from the beginning, as Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains.

We're continuing to learn more and more about the Republican plot to overthrow the 2020 election and we're learning more about some of the individual efforts taking place in individual states. This particular one happens to take place in Arizona. A group called American Oversight has been fighting for quite some time to get the documents related to the Arizona ballot audit. And they've gotten plenty of them, but they sure as heck haven't gotten all of them. Cyber ninjas, as far as we know is still refusing to turn those over at a cost to the company of $50,000 per day, that they do not turn their documents over. But this week American Oversight did release a treasure trove of new information, stuff that had not been previously publicly known and it shows via text messages and other communications, including some between elected officials in the state of Arizona, that they wanted to use conservative media figures, Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, Charlie Kirk and Dan Bongino, who just got suspend, permanently banned from YouTube yesterday.

They wanted to use these individuals to promote the Arizona ballot audit and of course, to cast doubt on the results of the Arizona election. Let me read you a couple of these text messages. This is from somebody named Jake who says, give me an advanced heads up so I can back channel with Sean, referring to Sean Hannity. We have to control the narrative or we lose. There's speculation that this was to Hoffman, Republican legislator from the state of Arizona, who of course signed onto the forged document saying Donald Trump secretly ran the state. But folks, all of this points to the fact that they knew from the outset that this ballot audit was a farce. You don't talk about controlling a narrative if you think the facts are gonna come out in your favor. Now, as far as we know from the available documents, there was no accepting, I guess you would call it, of these offers by Sean Hannity, Carlson, Kirk and Bongino. Okay.

We do not have evidence that any of them agreed to do this or that any of them were actually reached to work on this. It's likely they were reached. I mean, they said they were gonna do it. But here's the thing. All of them did in fact, cast doubt, all four of those men I mentioned, did cast doubt on the 2020 election results from the state of Arizona. So maybe it was coordinated or maybe they just all collectively are very, very stupid. Personally, I think both of those things are true. But again, this shows that it was all a farce from the beginning. And that one statement, we have to control the narrative or we lose, that proves it to me. That proves it. Again, if you think you're gonna do this ballot audit and it's gonna come out and show Trump actually won the state, there's no narrative to control. The facts will speak for themselves. Then you get to come out and gloat and say, ha, we told you so. You don't have to control anything between now and then. But you knew that wasn't gonna happen because you knew this was all based on lies. That's why you had to control the narrative and that is what these documents prove to us.
