Former Republican lawmaker and candidate for Arizona Senate Mark Finchem went on a talk show hosted by a conspiracy theorist and spread some conspiracy theories himself on the 23rd anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks. The host of the show has falsely claimed the Jewish people were behind 9/11.

Finchem unsuccessfully ran for Secretary of State in 2022, won the Republican primary for Legislative District 1 in July and is anticipated to return to the Arizona Legislature come January. Finchem has built his brand on election fraud and other conspiracy theories and is also known for his association with and support from extremist groups like the Oathkeepers.

On Sept. 11, Finchem went on Scott McKay’s show, streamed on Rumble. Also known as “Patriot Streetfighter”, McKay has a history of espousing antisemitic beliefs, as first reported by the left-leaning Media Matters for America.

McKay, a central figure in a movement during the pandemic to harass school boards for mask mandates, has espoused antisemitic beliefs and has also praised Nazi leader Adolf Hitler.

1. Finchem has stinkum

2. All the more reason to work hard to flip the Arizona Senate

and the Arizona House of Representatives, as well, so if Finchem gets elected, he's on the minority side of the aisle and without the power and prerequisites of the majority.
