There are 2 Republican parties and their members face a reckoning

A February Independent Audit of the voting machines used in the 2020 election resulted in no evidence of fraud, hackingor illegalities.

The voters can be assured that the 2020 election was conducted in a fair and responsible manner.

Yet, there are way too many new bills in the present Arizona Legislature that look like voter suppression. Fact is, the majority of down line Republican Party candidates in Arizona won their elections.

Sadly, white-power hate groups such as QAnon, Proud Boys, white nationalists, Oath Keepers, Neo Nazis and Boogaloo Boys, to name a few, have radicalized their members into believing Trump is their man no matter his false words and hateful deeds.

These men and women truly believe the conspiracy theories that have brainwashed them from day one of the Trump administration. There are two very different Republican Parties today, one that will stand up and applaud a racist and one that will censure a true conservative.

It’s time for some soul searching. Joan Rose, Scottsdale
