MASTERS MOMENT: The One Where He Blames Gun Violence on Black People
 

PHOENIX — Welcome to today’s ‘Masters Moment’ — a daily opportunity to shine light on Blake Masters’ out-of-touch, offensive, and disqualifying beliefs and opinions.

Over the next 33 days, the ‘Masters Moment’ will be your number one source for all things Masters. While he attempts a desperate pivot to hide his “fringe,” “extreme,” and “dangerous” ideas, every day we’ll be releasing the audio and video to prove, in his own words, who Masters really is – and that he’s a risk Arizonans can’t afford.  

Today’s moment, where he says “Black people, frankly” are to blame for America’s gun violence problem: 

Masters: “But we do have a gun violence problem in this country, and it’s gang violence, right? It’s gangs. It’s people in Chicago, St. Louis shooting each other. Very often, you know, black people, frankly,” (On The Jeff Oravits Show, 4/12/22).
