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.
Read the full article. Kern, who was indicted last month on fake elector charges, has appeared here many times for his anti-LGBTQ ravings and for holding an anti-abortion “speaking in tongues” prayer session on the floor of the Arizona Senate chamber.

If #Arizona Sen. Anthony Kern • in a prayer circle • on the chamber floor • with people speaking-in-tongues (aka babbling fake nonsense) ISN’T enough for you to know that religion has no place in lawmaking, congratulations on being a religious fanatic.pic.twitter.com/jS8y44r77G
