Representative Abe Hamadeh (R-AZ) spoke at Turning Point USA's "Build the Red Wall" event in northern Phoenix over the weekend, ripping Arizona's Democratic leadership and saying they are why Representative Andy Biggs (R-AZ) needs to be elected Governor.
During his speech, Rep. Hamadeh gave a shoutout to Rep. Biggs, as well as Representatives Paul Gosar (R-AZ), Eli Crane (R-AZ), and Juan Ciscomani (R-AZ), commenting that they are all "fighting with President Donald J. Trump because we know what is at stake."
Rep. Hamadeh suggested that the 2022 midterm election was stolen, saying, "they could not steal it from President Trump, because it was too big to rig, and that is what we have got to do for Andy Biggs."
"Arizona has been captured by the radical left," the Arizona congressman accused. "Look at it: We have a cartel lawyer as Secretary of State," he said, referring to Adrian Fontes.
Hamadeh further took shots at Attorney General (AG) Kris Mayes, whom he dismissed as "an illegitimate climate activist," and Governor Katie Hobbs (D-AZ), calling her a "crooked disaster" and "an absolute nightmare for our state," reiterating the need for Biggs to win the AZ gubernatorial election.
On his personal X account, Hamadeh responded to an excerpt of his speech, writing, "Arizona is on the edge of turning into the liberal leftwing disaster of California if we continue down the path of Katie Hobbs. We have to elect @andybiggs4az for Governor."
Turning Point's CEO Erika Kirk, who took over the organization after the murder of her husband Charlie Kirk in September, was also asked to speak at Pinnacle High School during the lunch period, but pushback from parents and further review, school and district officials decided the event needed a different setting.
Parents expressed concern, citing instances of Mrs. Kirk receiving death threats and cancellation of previous events for security reasons.
