Trump-backed Arizona Secretary of State candidate Mark Finchem isn't just seen as an extremist by Arizona Democrats -- it seems many Arizona Republicans feel that way about him as well.

In interviews with Politico, Arizona Republicans take shots at Finchem, who for years has served as a state legislator in the Arizona House of Representatives and who has developed a reputation as a far-right crank even among his GOP colleagues.

“It’s basically from political gadfly within the Republican caucus to potentially the number two person in the state of Arizona,” Arizona Republican Sen. T.J. Shope tells Politico. “It’s a meteoric rise.”

Finchem, who has openly boasted of his support for the Oath Keepers militia, won former President Donald Trump's endorsement after he hyped up the twice-impeached former president's conspiracy theories about the 2020 presidential election.

Trump and dumbest seem to go hand in hand.

4. Wendy Rogers would like a word.

The fact that I know who Wendy Rogers is and I don't live anywhere close to Arizona, nor have I ever lived in Arizona, should really say something.

5. If you want to be the smartest one in the room...

The endorser is a few crayons short of a box himself. But psycho-cologically he has to be smarter than anyone around him. Intelligence is a threat; somebody smart might figure how to leverage him out, or get actual damaging info, or - worst of all in his world - become more popular

Probably why he fantasizes about dictators who can dispense with their enemies using field artillery
