Opinion: Why is Katie Hobbs, the Democratic nominee for Arizona governor, blaming Kari Lake, her Republican opponent, for her own timidity?

Twitter is largely a soapbox of the left. It’s run by liberals with an authoritarian impulse to censor mostly right-wing voices. Most of the traffic is left wing, locked in a contest to see who can most artfully knock the blocks off conservatives.
In Arizona, it seems a contest of who can be most glib and sassy.
Thus, it’s with real sadness that I report that social-media Democrats who flex their stuff on Twitter have virtually gone silent on the biggest development in the Arizona governor’s race.
They’ve stopped flipping the Twitter bird at their opponents. They’ve tucked their middle finger and slinked away.
Katie Hobbs refuses to debate Kari Lake
When the 2022 Arizona governor’s race is over and in the books, what a tragedy it will have been that the Democratic candidate for governor was the one who grew timid and refused to debate her Republican opponent.
Because had it been the other way, had Republican Kari Lake refused to debate Democrat Katie Hobbs, the wise-cracking snark machines on the left would have been in hog heaven, doing bellyflops in the mudhole.
Had Kari Lake refused to debate and then had the audacity to blame her opponent Katie Hobbs for her own cowardice, we would be looking at a towering hog pile of liberal delirium. Pure joy.
Tragically, it was not to be.
Rather, it is the Democrat Katie Hobbs who refuses to debate and, in one of the great displays of taffy logic, blames Kari Lake for going wobbly.
She called herself a coward in 52 words
There is more than one way to say you’re a coward.
One is to say, “I’m a coward.”
