Wendy Rogers
By Laurie Roberts | Arizona Republic
Matt Salmon just borrowed Kari Lake’s sledgehammer to take aim at one of Lake’s pals.
Salmon called on state Sen. Wendy Rogers to resign, saying her “dismissive response” of the Senate’s censure earlier this week “indicates a level of misjudgment and a failure of character so outrageous that more stringent action is needed.”
He was referring to her, well, let’s just call it her less-than-chastened response to the Senate’s public slap on the wrist earlier this week after her speech to white nationalists on Friday and her threats to ruin the careers of any of her colleagues who challenged her.
It’s refreshing that a Republican candidate for governor would call out one of the MAGA’s biggest rock stars – and it certainly doesn’t hurt that his opponent Kari Lake is one Rogers’ big admirers.
But, Matt, where’ve you been?
Rogers’ character has long been on display
Rogers’ “failure of character” has been on public display for years.
