Introducing the #AZSen Candidates: “Half-baked” Blake Masters
PHOENIX — Now that the GOP Senate primary field is set, we’re taking the opportunity to introduce the “decidedly weak” candidates and outline just how unfit they are to represent Arizona in the U.S. Senate.
Known for emulating Tucker Carlson, name-dropping his Big Tech benefactor, and doing anything to get Trump’s attention, California tech bro Masters is running to be Peter Thiel’s mouthpiece in the Senate. See below for everything you need to know about “Half-baked” Blake Masters:
- The Silicon Valley lackey turned “wannabee politician” is being bankrolled by his former boss and Big Tech benefactor Peter Thiel to the tune of $10 million.
- Masters has gone all-in on Trump’s baseless election conspiracies and even cut ads with the message: “I think Trump won in 2020.” But, to be fair, after two invites to Mar-A-Lago to kiss the ring, it might be paying off.
- True to his tech bro roots, Masters is selling NFTs and ritzy dinners with tech tycoons to fund his Senate bid — demonstrating exactly who he is running to represent.
- After spending a dozen years in California, Masters continues to demonstrate his flagrant, out-of-touch elitism, scoffing at the idea of lowering gas prices and toying with the idea of dismantling Social Security.
