Arizona House Speaker Rusty Bowers may lose his GOP primary for an open state senate seat, after he testified to the Jan. 6 committee about the pressure campaign from former Pres. Trump and his associates to undo the 2020 election results in the state.
Bowers faces Trump-endorsed candidate David Fansworth in an Aug. 2 primary that makes Bowers the first Republican to face voters after testifying before the Jan. 6 committee.Bowers says he's also been called a "traitor" and has been told that "the price of treason is hanging."
Arizona's House Speaker Rusty Bowers arrives for a House select committee hearing investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol in Washington, June 21, 2022. Walking behind Bowers is Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger.Giuliani "never" provided any evidence to back up claims that thousands of dead people voted in Arizona, Bowers said."Over and over, and he said, 'yes, yes.' And he never gave us anything. No names, no data, nothing.
"Rusty Bowers, he's a RINO ['Republican in name only'] coward who participated against the Republican party in the totally partisan unselect committee of political thugs and hacks the other day, and disgraced himself, and he disgraced the state of Arizona," he told a crowd in Prescott Valley, Arizona, on July 22.
"Well, those leaders in Arizona are an interesting group in and of themselves. They rule by thuggery and intimidation," Bower said. "So, you know, they, they found a niche, they found a way and it's fear. And people can use fear, demagogues like to use fears as a weapon. And they weaponize everything. That's not leadership to me to use thuggery."
"I'll never vote for him," Bowers replied. "But I won't have to, because I think America's tired. And there's absolutely forceful, qualified, morally, defensible, and upright people. And that's what I want. That's what I want in my party. And that's what I want to see."
