The draft report may have been leaked, but this thing is going to be 3-hours with another hour of “debriefing” on the Senate lawn w/ a bunch of the AZGOP, so who knows how they’re going to try to spin this. Seeya later!
At the Crazy Towns Carnival, I mean AZ state capitol & the "anti-vax" rally is going on. They're also setting up chairs to watch the hearing later.
Already saw a small accident in the parking lot & walked up to Kari Lake arguing with someone on stage so it's already going well.
Looks like Kari was arguing with Steve Daniels of the far-right AZ Patriot Party. Daniels was also one of the speakers today who organized for this rally and the other one later, so again, it's already going well down here.
The official portion of the "anti-vax" sort of fell apart after the Patriot Party started arguing with Kari Lake. The other speakers lectured the Patriot Party and left, now they're giving their own speeches. Lots of groups arguing amongst each other it's hilarious.
Armed guards surrounding the stage. Lots of armed groups, in general. Seen some Oath Keepers & Bryan Masche gave a shoutout to the "Good Citizens" militia who's been a new group at these events. Also spotted Micajah Jackson in the crowd, who marched with the Piss Boys at J6.
Candice Graham Savino yelled at everyone on stage and was screaming, (with her kid in hand) about "chopping off heads" and "hanging" people. She was one of the people standing outside the Coliseum during the "audit" with the "arrest the traitors" banner. Nice crowd.
Lots of people here. The far-right "anti-vax" event ended in drama, now everyone is waiting for the final report hearing.
Lots of energy out here, Wendy just made an appearance.
The MAGA copium rally is in full swing now as the hearing is about to begin.
As the hearing began, we had a few hilarious disruptions. This guy was playing a banjo and harmonica, but got screamed away buy some heavily armed folks.
There's also some bullhorn shouting matches going on next to the stage.
Plenty of armed dudes patrolling the area, got some III%ers, that "Good Citizens" group again.
Quick break, today's just a weird mix of everything. There's anti-vaxxers, Ivermectin fans, pro-audit folks, "justice for j6" people, some who were at J6 themselves, militias, AZ politicians & candidates, etc.
Also, again, for the smart stuff being said in the actual hearing. Follow the brilliant @get_innocuous's thread. We're only an hour in. 😮💨
And we're back. Besides the big screen set up on the Senate lawn, there's also TV trucks parked across the street and driving around the capitol airing the "audit" report hearing on one side, anti-vax messages on the other.
The lawn cleared out, even tho there's still hours left. Some are hanging by the nearby merch & food but it's dwindled.
People clearly expected something more interesting than a boring hearing. A lady said to me "can't they just tell us who won and do all this stuff later." lol
Hearing over, queue the Mike Pillow ad. Even though there's still a "debriefing" on the lawn, most people have left (I assume out of boredom) and organizers are packing up the chairs. Don't worry, the Q merch IS still up, LMFAO.
This sparsely attended post-hearing rally is mainly just the group of people who lied & grifted off this thing. It's literally just everyone from the Stop the Steal crowd, you got Mark Finchem, Gail Golec, We the People Alliance, Anthony Kern, Fann, Wendy Rogers, Kelli Ward, etc.
Even the low-tier grifters like Adel Belgaied and Josh Barnett are here. And Barnett gave a shoutout to even lower tier grifters like Dave Jose and Liz Harris.
This white nationalist loser made a quick appearance before quickly fucking off to his groyper event at ASU.
Sen. Wendy Rogers is still calling for "decertification" (not a thing. also, of course she is 🙄). Here's her and the crowd losing their absolute shit.
Just another normal day on the capitol lawn. 🙃
Sen. Sonny Borrelli tells the audience "somebody belongs freaking against the wall."
Yikes, dude. Also, when you're making threats like this, at least have the nerve to say "fuck," you dorks.
C-C-C-Combo Brakey!
I'm out. Of course The John Birch Society left a pamphlet on my car. 🙄
Far-right POS Ethan Schmidt was also at today’s events. He was going around harassing media alongside Micajah Jackson.
Amazing that Jackson goes around doing this while representing Hub Radio Phoenix, which regularly hosts members of the AZ GOP. azcentral.com/story/news/loc…

Well, that was weird. Here's some notes for the day. This was essentially a small meetup on the Senate lawn of about 50 people, mostly Proud Boys. Some politicians backed out but @BlackmanForAZ still spoke and even gave a shoutout to the AZ Proud Boys for being ""patriots."" 😐
Other speakers included: former representative Anthony Kern, Proud Boy associate Micajah Jackson, congressional candidate Jeff Zink, Cowboy's for Trump founder Couy Griffin, and... former NFL running back Jerone Davison for some reason?
Look Ahead America's local chapter (Look Ahead Arizona) organized today's small mostly-Proud Boy rally. Julie Fisher was the host today. Fisher and former Secretary of State Ken Bennett are both involved with Look Ahead's leadership team. azmirror.com/2021/09/23/gop…
Fuck it, day before the "audit" release thread. Mute if you don't want a random collection of nonsense from a bunch of nonsense people.
First up, Jordan - I mean @AuditWarRoom is ban evading just in time for tomorrow through @audit_warroom. They're still not doing a great job at hiding who's behind the account since their Telegram basically just shares Jordan Conradson's Gateway Pundit stories.
The rogue canvasser herself, Liz Harris, is also calling for people to come down to the state capitol tomorrow for the "audit" results. Groups like the far-right Patriot Party are also organizing for tomorrow.
On September 18th, there was a small white nationalist meetup at the Phoenix State Capitol. The two men flying “WLM” banners appear to be those who have been doing anonymous neo-nazi Folksfront banner and propaganda drops throughout Maricopa for years now. azmirror.com/blog/nazi-grou…
These assholes have recently started recruiting through the “WLM” chats. Another has started doing lone propaganda drops in Chandler and Tempe. These were pasted up on Friday. If anyone wants to go check if they're still up the intersections are the following:
• Home Depot parking lot - Ocotillo & Arizona Ave (Chandler)
• Sprouts - Queen Creek & Alma School Rd (Chandler)
• Sprouts/Petco - Southern and McClintock (Tempe)
A student at Mesquite Elementary School was asked to quarantine after being exposed to a positive case of Covid, so one of their parents and two others showed up to the school and tried to zip tie the principal.
Lemme know what you find! I'll be post whatever is useful, sus, or hilarious under this thread. 🧵
There's already some hits - more than one person is recommending the horse paste to Doug Logan, they were worried about flame throwing clowns at the nearby carnival!!
