Indicted ”fake elector” and Arizona state Sen. Anthony Kern has been barred from using the Senate video studio at the state Capitol after he used the government facility to appear on Nazi apologist Stew Peters’ internet talk show.
“The Senate president does not approve of how the senator chose to use legislative broadcast resources last week,” Kim Quintero, a spokesperson for Republican Senate President Warren Petersen, told 12News. Kern’s “privileges to use those resources for future interviews have been revoked,” she added.
The interview, which took place on May 1, featured the extremist Freedom Caucus member opining on Arizona Democratic House members' decision to host a Drag Story Hour in the basement of the state Capitol the day before. That event, which was attended by Democratic representatives, their staff, and supporters of Planned Parenthood, earned the homophobic scorn of the state’s Republican majority and a suspension of privileges by House Speaker Ben Toma.
Talk show host Peters is a long-standing piece of shit who built his audience as a COVID denier. Recently, he’s shelved COVID conspiracies in favor of promoting Holocaust denial.
