Trump no longer coming to Arizona; AZGOP Freedom Fest canceled
azfamily.com

Former President Donald Trump will no longer be coming to Arizona this week, where he was scheduled to speak during a GOP rally Friday evening in Phoenix. The AZGOP Freedom Fest has also been canceled, an Arizona Republican Party spokesperson confirmed to Arizona’s Family.

Trump was scheduled to be the keynote speaker at the event. Other speakers who were scheduled to appear included Congress members Andy Biggs, Paul Gosar and Eli Crane, as well as U.S. Senate candidate Kari Lake, Abe Hamadeh, Charlie Kirk and Tyler Bowyer. Tickets to the event were sold through eventbrite, and a state GOP spokesperson says refunds will be issued.

The announcement that Trump wouldn’t be coming to Arizona was made soon after the former president briefly took the stand in a New York defamation trial that will determine how much he could owe advice columnist E. Jean Carroll. It’s unclear if the trial had any bearing on the decision to cancel the trip.

The news also comes a day after the Chairman of the Arizona Republican Party resigned. Jeff DeWit stepped down amid pressure after a British tabloid released secretly recorded audio clips of him reportedly trying to bribe Lake to keep her from running for U.S. Senate.

Remember when he floated the idea that the DNC was keeping Biden away from in person speaking events because his mental acuity was declining?

Remember?

What? He is still going on long rambling speeches almost daily. He made 20ish minute long speeches in both Iowa and New Hampshire this very week, at night. I'd give anything for his handlers to do what you think they are and keep him locked up, but your comment has no bearing on what's actually happening.

Yeah I double checked, he spoke for almost 2 hours in Iowa...

Hey now, read what I actually wrote. I don't want him to win, or like him, or think any of his speeches make a lick of sense. Again I WISH they would get him out of here. I just haven't seen anyone on his team reining him in at all. It was a judge that made him stop on the witness stand and we don't know why the entire AZ rally was canceled not just his part. I'm on your side about his cognitive decline but I'm also not going to grasp at straws. We've been doing that for too long hoping he would go away and it never happens.

And yes looks like the 2 hour Iowa speech I was thinking of was on January 6th not this week.

It really seems like his cognitive function has taken a sharp decline in the last few months

Source for Trump being incompetent? I'm not a trump supporter or anything, I just really don't keep up with news

Source for you not being a Trump supporter? I just really don't keep up with your day to day life.

My source is that im a gay mexican? What the fuck is your problem? i was just asking for some news reports to read up on, which i was provided. Idk why you felt the need to comment at all, this whole exchange was over when Chunk gave me the link. But nooo, stop everything because Frezik, this random fuckin guy who has not been in the conversation up until this point, has yet to share his political opinion. God fucking forbid I want to be informed ig.

The years 2016 until the present, almost a daily occurrence.

What are they going to do when he dies? Jump off a really high cliff into a rocky coastline?

It's hard to imagine the GOP not splitting in some way after he dies. There are going to be a ton of people trying to claim his mantle, and they don't care at all about destroying each other in the process

Just look at Boebert and MTG both competing to be "the MAGA girl". They hate each other. There's no room in MAGA for a team, just moronic personalities and supplication to whoever is currently the head MAGA.

Good. They'll eat each other and maybe, just maybe, we can get actual shit done.

It will be a bucket of crabs, like Gaetz and McCarthy, Boobert and Marge, etc.

I guess the mouth breathers are going to have to go back to rubbin' 'em out to Guns and Ammo back issues.

It’s his neck looks like it has a butthole in this picture.

It does in most of his pictures.

I was just looking at an article talking about is fucked up makeup and in that photo he has a neck pussy in place of the neck butthole.

"Freedom Fest". These people co-opt terms like freedom, liberty, etc., and now they have their exact opposite meaning when they use them.

The little d party is not about freedom at all. They are for the very opposite of freedom, at least for anyone outside their increasingly smaller definition of what it means to be part of their in-group.

He was only going to get votes to get the nomination. He has no other use for those plebians

Yeah, now that the RNC is basically just going to declare him the winner.

Uh oh, "Cancel Culture" infiltrates the AZGOP I guess!
