Far-Right Arizona Senator Banned From Using State Broadcast Studio After Appearance On Pro-Hitler Show

The Arizona Mirror reports:

A Glendale Republican lawmaker is no longer allowed to access legislative broadcast equipment after the Arizona Mirror reported on May 3 that he used the Senate’s broadcast studio to appear on a far-right talk show last week with a host who has declared Adolf Hitler a “hero.”

On May 1, Sen. Anthony Kern appeared on ”The Stew Peters Show” to discuss a Drag Story Hour that was hosted the day before in a basement meeting room in the Arizona House of Representatives. Kern joined the show live on video from the Arizona Senate studio.

Peters praised Kern and made the false claim that the drag event in the House included children — none were present — calling the drag king that spoke to the small group Tuesday a “mentally ill satanic pedophile.” The event did not include children and Kern did not push back on any of Peters’ claims.
