MAGA activist tied to Kari Lake ponders 'lynching' election official

Shelby Busch, a far-right activist and official in the Maricopa County GOP, earned laughs at a GOP event after publicly pondering lynching Maricopa County's Republican recorder.

Let us repeat that one more time: a Maricopa County GOP official, with ties to Senate candidate and MAGA darling Kari Lake, publicly pondered lynching an election worker.

The reaction? No pushback, no criticism, no outrage—just laughter.

When violent rhetoric is not only tolerated but encouraged within political circles, it sends a dangerous message that such behavior is acceptable.

And that’s exactly why comments like this have led to an unprecedented increase in threats and outright violence against our election officials.

The Big Lie has morphed into a Big Threat – and it’s not going away. In fact, we expect the rhetoric to ramp up as we get closer to November, which is why we need your help:
