The Arizona Democratic Party reacted quickly once it was called out by Republicans for promoting its “F-ck the Fourth” event on social media.
On Twitter message, @PimaDems, tweeted “F*ck the Fourth. See you at Reid Park, with an image calling for members to “mourn with Fuck the Fourth.” On the group’s Facebook page, told friends: “July 4th. We are not celebrating until we get our independence back.”
The Party removed the messages, and Democrat candidates made no mention of it, in the hope the issue would blow over.
Needless to say, it did not blow over, and Republicans from all across Arizona called the Democratic Party and a number of its higher profile candidates out for it.
THIS is who is supporting our opponents. These are the crowds they run in. THIS is what we are up against. I love this country and THIS is why we need to win in November. @danielforaz and @EngelForArizona – will you be there, or will you denounce? pic.twitter.com/3xbyf5pXzZ

"How does this help us WIN?" is his objection? Like, if F*** the Fourth of July polled well Fontes would be okay with it? Umm, that's still pretty messed up… https://t.co/MOzpVTQt2i

This since deleted tweet by the @PimaDems is disgusting. However, it serves as a reminder of who we are up against this November. Instead of championing ideas and a vision, the Un-American party, aka the Democratic Party, has decided to stoke hate and divisiveness. pic.twitter.com/Qvl1M2i6LN

Wow. Absolutely disgraceful rallying cry by @azdemparty "F*ck the 4th"
The Democrats aren't even trying to hide the fact they are the party of radicals anymore. https://t.co/DUtflT8nrQ

Pima Democrat Party Bio: “Promoting Democrat Values…”
Pima Democrat Party: “F*** the 4th of July.”
I don’t care who you vote for— just don’t vote for Democrats today. They hate America.
They just deleted the tweet. pic.twitter.com/jNYoplPZFc

The Democrat Party deleted its tweet, but screenshots are forever.
Question the Press needs to ask @SenMarkKelly @KatieHobbs @EngelForArizona @DanielForAZ:
Will you denounce Dems' "F**k The Fourth" event?
Are you or your campaign planning to attend? #AZSEN #AZGOV #AZ06 pic.twitter.com/5i4yxXSsFJ— Ben Petersen (@bennpetersen) July 1, 2022
Hey media — is Senator Mark Kelly going to denounce this garbage, from an official AZ Democrat organization? Are you asking him for comment? https://t.co/f3Q43a3oO8

People ask me all the time why I left the Democratic Party 7 years ago – here is a just one example of why. Disgraceful. https://t.co/ooCtuYhB2V

The Arizona Democrat Party is celebrating 4th of July with a “F*CK THE FOURTH” protest @katiehobbs @azdemparty

Clearly the Pima dems don’t care about our country or those who fought and died for our freedoms https://t.co/4an4iu9GMw
