The Arizona Senate opened an ethics investigation into Senator Wendy Rogers on May 16 who tweeted inflammatory comments about last weekend’s racist attack at a Buffalo, New York, supermarket that left 10 people dead.
As news of the mass shooting by a white suspect who had posted a racist screed on the internet and driven about 200 miles to a Black neighborhood in Buffalo, Rogers tweeted "Fed boy summer has started in Buffalo." "But she has a right to make them," Townsend said. "I have to defend a person’s right to say ugly things. That’s why the First Amendment exists. It doesn’t exist for the kind words — it exists for the ugly words."
She called it a dangerous precedent to consider expelling or even censuring a member for their tweets or comments. "How many times do you allow your children to get out of hand before you provide the opportunity for discipline," Democratic Sen. Theresa Hatathlie said. "Discipline is a teaching moment. That is something we have already had."
