Arizona GOP chair encourages anti-stay-at-home protesters to dress like health care workers

The chairwoman of the Arizona Republican Party is encouraging people planning to protest stay-at-home orders imposed amid the coronavirus pandemic to dress like health care workers.
Recently, several health care workers around the country have worn their scrubs and medical gear to counterprotest against people calling for states to reopen against the urgings of medical experts.
Dr. Kelli Ward, a former state senator and primary care physician, tweeted on Friday that people participating in protests to end the government-imposed closures of regular business should wear scrubs and masks.
"Planning protest to #ReOpenAmerica? EVERYONE wear scrubs & masks - the media doesn't care if you are really in healthcare or not - it's the 'message' that matters," she wrote.
Ward's comments come a few days after she questioned the authenticity of a small group of health care workers in Colorado who counterprotested against people calling for the state to reopen....

(32,067 posts)Exactly the way conservatism has been messaged for decades. Tall tales, urban legends, and fabrications are galore from Paul Harvey's heyday of telling folksy-yet-fake stories to Ronald Reagan's "welfare queen" myth to chain emails to Facebook/Twitter today. (And of course, the current "president".) Stephen Colbert nailed it back in his Colbert Report days with "truthiness" - right wingers keep rationalizing their BS with the excuse "even if it isn't true, it sounds good enough to be true."

AZ is now definitely purple. The Governor is sucking up to Trump, and knows he needs to join the western states alliance.
Hopefully Mark Kelly will beat McSally in the senate race by a landslide here in AZ, and put that loser out of a job.
The old Repukes need to be beaten and fade away. AZ deserves better.
