A high-profile Republican is renewing his call for the state GOP leader to step down after she baselessly claimed that Gov. Doug Ducey “killed people” by restricting an unproven drug to treat COVID-19. “As has been the case, with the chair, she says very crazy things on a regular occasion. I mean, this is just further evidence of that,” said Sen. T.J. Shope, a Republican from Coolidge.

He was responding to an interview Republican Chairwoman Kelli Ward gave last week in which she criticized Ducey’s decision to limited access to hydroxychloroquine by saying, “He killed people.” We reached out to the Arizona Republican Party for comment, but we did not receive a response.
