Former Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich joins the hall of shame.
Before this week, former Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich was best known as the named party in a 2020 Supreme Court voting rights decision.
On Wednesday, however, the Washington Post revealed that there will be another entry on his Wikipedia page: He was for election denialism before he was against it.
Brnovich systematically misrepresented what his investigators found. And then he compounded the misrepresentations by hiding their findings. Plainly, he did so because his office’s findings disproved the election denialist claims that he was running on in his (failed) Senate primary campaign against Blake Masters.
Brnovich clearly understood that if his office was seen as disproving the stolen election lie, then his campaign would be DOA. He chose dishonor. And in the end, he got defeat too.
