Trump Is Losing His Patience with #AZSen Candidate Mark Brnovich
Trump: Brnovich Will Only Win By Embracing My Lies
 

PHOENIX — We hate to say it, but we told you so.

Donald Trump is the elephant in this GOP Senate primary that just won’t go away.

Today, former President Donald Trump turned up the pressure on Mark Brnovich AGAIN, releasing another targeted message to threaten Brnovich to finally “rule on all of the Election Fraud.”  

In case you need a refresher — after all, the 2020 election was sixteen months ago now — Brnovich was the first prominent Arizona Republican to speak the truth and acknowledge that Trump lost Arizona in 2020. After nearly a year of bullying from Trump, Brnovich caved and launched an investigation into Arizona’s 2020 election. 

Since announcing this investigation, Trump has laid off Brnovich, even granting the embattled Attorney General a picture he could use to bolster his weak Senate campaign fundraising and cozy up to the MAGA faction of the AZ GOP. Now, it seems, Trump’s patience has worn thin — he wants results from Brnovich.

“Trump’s quid pro quo is clear: Brnovich must either sacrifice his final shred of credibility and embrace the lies and conspiracies around the 2020 election, or face Trump’s wrath for the rest of his political career,” said ADP spokesperson Hannah Goss. “The only question left is whether or not Brnovich will cave to the pressure and support these false election conspiracy theories in order to make it out of this primary alive. Given that Brnovich is a career political grifter, infamous for caring only about his own political ambitions, it’s pretty clear what he’ll decide.”
