Election Official In Hiding After Death Threats From MAGA Lunatics

An election official in Arizona has been forced to go into hiding after getting death threats from angry MAGA lunatics over Kari Lake's loss. Lake is alleging fraud and vowed to hire a legal team, but there is no evidence at all to back up her claims. But the bogus claims are enough to enrage the crazies, and now a man's life is in danger. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses this.

An election official from Maricopa County in Arizona has been taken into hiding due to the massive amount of death threats that this individual man by the name of Bill Gates, the amount of death threats he has received from angry Mag fanatics has caused him to have to go into hiding. Officials have announced that yes, he has been taken to a safe and secure location. So it's not just like he disappeared, they had law enforcement come and get him out because the death threats he is receiving are off the charts because as we all know, what happened in Arizona in the midterms, Kerry Lake, the Trump endorsed person running for Governor lost Blake. Masters Trump endorsed Republican running for Senator lost, um, Kerry Lake was governor. I, I may have mis said that, but anyway, um, both Trump endorsed candidates lost. Republicans cannot ever accept their losses.

Carrie Lake is out there claiming all kinds of things that are completely untrue about the elections in Arizona. And this man, bill Gates, uh, who, who is the chairman of the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, is the one paying the price for the lunatic that have been enraged by the lies from people like Carrie Lake and Donald Trump. This is not okay. This is absolutely beyond not okay. And I think at this point, we have to revise the laws here in the United States so that people like Carrie Lake can be held responsible because she, as far as I can tell personally, is responsible for the death threats this man is getting. She is out there saying things that are not true. She's telling lunatic things that are not true, and then those lunatic are becoming enraged because of the false information, and then they're issuing the death threats.

If you were to take Carrie Lake out of the equation with her feeding them lies, they wouldn't be driven into a frenzy to issue the death threats against this man. So you have all of the pieces there along the way, and Carrie Lake is that first one. If she doesn't exist in this equation, then you don't end up with the death threats. So how is it that we cannot hold her legally responsible for this? How is it that we cannot hold Donald Trump legally responsible for all of the election officials across the country that have gotten death threats since 2020? It makes no sense to me. These people, again, as far as I can see, are responsible for these death threats. These people are in hiding because of what is happening with these mega freaks out there.

And I think it's high time that the DOJ starts investigating individuals who are spreading the lies, not just the people making the death threats. I know the DOJ came out this summer and said, listen, anybody issues a threat against an election official, we the DOJ are gonna handle that. We're gonna come at 'em with everything we got. Fantastic. I hope you do it. You gotta go after the source. You have to go after the people making these people crazy, because if you don't take away that catalyst, it will continue to happen. And we need to be able to hold these people legally responsible and they ought to share the same fate as the people that they get riled up, who then engage in these threats and then get prosecuted for it. I think the people spreading the lies should be prosecuted just the same as the people making the threats.
