The bill was introduced Monday by right-wing Arizona state Rep. Mark Finchem, a Trump-endorsed candidate for secretary of state. While Trump also celebrated Finchem’s bill in a statement, Republican Speaker of the House Rusty Bowers “appeared to quickly ax” the proposal, according to a report form CBS 5.
“Mr. Finchem’s obviously unconstitutional and profoundly unwise proposal will receive all of the attention it deserves,” Bowers said in a statement.
“This is what we’ve been waiting for!” Lindell proclaimed. “If two more states do that, we’ve got our country back!”
Lindell went on to claim that Finchem’s nine-page proposal, signed by 13 other Republicans, includes evidence of “tens of thousands of crimes.” He also slammed both Bowers and Arizona Senate President Karen Fann as “obstructionists.”
