Opinion: A member of the Arizona Legislature proudly boasts of membership in an organization linked to the Jan. 6 insurrection and we hear nothing?

We’ve known for a long time that state Sen. Wendy Rogers has a warped – if not completely untethered — grasp on history, patriotism, civility and public service.
We’ve known as well that the ugly, conspiracy-based campaign style she used to get elected, after a decade of trying, so alienated the other Republican from her district, Rep. Walter Blackman, that he told the Arizona Capitol Times he would not campaign with her.
