Arizona Gubernatorial Candidate Matt Salmon Calls For Wendy Rogers’ Resignation

Arizona gubernatorial candidate and former Congressman Matt Salmon is calling for the resignation of LD6 State Senator Wendy Rogers. Salmon said in a statement, “Senator Rogers must resign her seat in the legislature for the greater good of Arizona and so that LD6 can be effectively represented on issues of public policy, which her ongoing conduct and associations make her incapable of doing.” Rogers was censured this week for tweets disparaging Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelensky and U.S. allies amid the Russian invasion of Ukraine. She sent out a tweet calling Zelensky “a globalist puppet for Soros and the Clintons” and another accusing Germany of trying to quote, “build the Third Reich.” She also called for building gallows to kill political opponents. Salmon says, “the dismissive response that I have witnessed from her indicates a level of misjudgment and a failure of character so outrageous that more stringent action is needed.” Rogers disagreed with the censure and has not apologize for the comments.
