Earlier this month Shelby Busch — chair of Arizona’s delegation to the Republican convention — was in court trying to learn the identities of local elections workers and said under oath that she was unaware of any threats that had been made against the people who helped run the last presidential election and the midterm election that followed.
This week, video emerged that showed Busch saying she herself would “lynch ” the official who helps oversee elections in Maricopa County: Stephen Richer, a fellow Republican.
“Let’s pretend that this gentleman over here was running for County Recorder,” Busch said, seeming to refer to someone off-camera in the video, which was recorded at a public meeting in March. “And he’s a good Christian man that believes what we believe. We can work with that, right? That, that’s unity.”
