Arizona lawmaker speaks to white nationalists, calls for violence -- and sets fundraising records

[Zorro]

Wendy Rogers, who recently drew a rare official rebuke from fellow Republicans, has raised millions from out-of-state donors

Midway through a white nationalist’s conference in Orlando last month, one speaker drew applause calling for gruesome violence against “traitors” after excoriating critics of the “honorable” Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee and proponents of the “bioweapon” coronavirus vaccine.

“We need to build more gallows,” the speaker said, adding that such a deadly fate would “make an example of these traitors who’ve betrayed our country.”

The speech via video at the Feb. 25 conference organized by far-right activist Nick Fuentes, who has espoused racist and antisemitic views, wasn’t from another online agitator or fringe radio host.

Rather, it was delivered by Arizona state Sen. Wendy Rogers, a Republican lawmaker who represents tens of thousands of constituents and has found a rising national profile as a face of the radicalized wing of the GOP.

IMHO she's a pretty good representative of today's Republican party, despite an "official rebuke".

1. She is REALLY wacked.

For some reason I get her posts from time to time on Facebook.

She is as hard-core nazi as they come. Scary that she is already a state senator.

2. Does she not realize that people will fight back?

Not to mention killing people is against the law. Mostly.

3. Out of state donors....didn't help Jamie Harrison, Amy McGrath or others. She's toxic!
