Rusty Bowers, Arizona state House speaker
OPINION: Rep. Andy Biggs is so mad at House Speaker Rusty Bowers that he’s endorsed his opponent, a guy who believes the devil stole the 2020 election from Donald Trump.

Rusty Bowers, Arizona state House speaker, testifies as the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol continues to reveal its findings of a year-long investigation, at the Capitol in Washington, Tuesday, June 21, 2022.
It’s payback time for House Speaker Rusty Bowers. The daggers have been sharpened, honed and otherwise serrated and they are coming for him.
No less than Donald Trump, Arizona’s own Rep. Andy Biggs and state GOP Chairwoman Kelli Ward are backing Bowers’ opponent in his state Senate race — a guy who believes the devil stole the 2020 election from Donald Trump.
No, seriously.
“This is a real conspiracy headed up by the devil himself,” former state Sen. David Farnsworth explained, during last week’s Clean Elections debate for the Senate seat in Mesa’s Legislative District 10.
Apparently, embracing fringe characters who believe in Biblical election conspiracies has become something of a thing for some of our leading lights.
Better that, apparently, than supporting a lifelong diehard conservative Republican who committed the unpardonable sin of holding onto his integrity when Trump came calling.
Bowers wouldn’t give in to the crazy
