The Arizona senator is the face of republican’s maga hubris. He is one of the fake electors that supported overturning the election. I know it was 4 years ago and now seems doubtful he will actually be held responsible for his actions. But there’s always hope. He was also among the republicans who were contacted by Ginni Thomas.
His latest stunt in a sane world should make him a 1 term Arizona senator. That happened April 8, 2024. Yes, just a few days ago. He won’t be up for reelection until 2025. The maga will love him. The supposed centrist republicans will still support him. He fully supports the 1864 abortion ban. So much so he held a prayer group session on the floor of the Arizona Senate. As they met they kneeled and prayed in tongue that the Arizona Supreme Court would enable the 1864 law. After criticism for his stunt he said the critics were god haters.
Kern was fired from the El Mirage police department for lying. I can’t find the whole story behind the firing.
In 2017 as a member of the House he tried to get a bill making it a misdemeanor passed if a minor didn’t have a I.D. while traveling in a car.
He joined maga U.S. representative Louie Gohmert in a lawsuit against ex-VP Pence for not allowing his fake electors being counted.
He posted a video of him at the stop the steal rally in Washington. I don’t think he went inside.
He was among the group who did the recount in Maricopa County. Even though the contract said the counters were supposed to be nonpartisan.
Paul Gosar, Mark Finchem, and Kern tried suing Arizona democrat Rep. Charlene Hernandez for defamation. The judge found the lawsuit was just to harass her. Then they had to pay her legal fees amounting to $75,00.
District 27 includes part of Maricopa County. The district shows 37% republican, 27% democrat, and 35% other. He was voted in with 55% of the vote. It’s always hard to say how many of the unaffiliated voters are actually republican or democrat that haven’t registered.
There will never be any condemnation from other republicans. If asked about him they will either deny knowledge or some other excuse why they won’t say anything. To be honest I wouldn’t be surprised if he commented in support of MTG’s tweet about the earthquake and eclipse.
