Rep. Abe Hamadeh condemned a local Democratic leader for harassing two teenage girls supporting ICE agents.
LD12 Democrats Treasurer Mark Holodnak joined a mob in chasing two teenage girls who had dared take a selfie with ICE agents following a raid on Monday. Holodnak had some choice words for the young ladies.
“You little f*cking c*nts!” yelled Holodnak. “Everyone’s going to know that you’re a smelly little c*nt!”
The Democrats came to protest ICE activity after federal law enforcement carried out stings across 15 locations. The District of Arizona Attorney’s Office said Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) carried out the search warrants.
As part of a long-term criminal investigation, HSI Arizona is in the process of serving federal search warrants at 15 locations in Phoenix, Jan 26, 2026. The search warrants were authorized based on information presented to a federal judge and are being executed as part of a…

The location where the incident with Holodnak and the mob occurred outside of one of the multiple Zipps Sports Grill locations hit with search warrants.
HSI’s primary investigations largely don’t concern enforced deportations, but it appears Holodnak and other progressive activists interpreted it that way.
Attempts by the media to downplay Holodnak’s involvement with the Democratic Party were met with denunciation from the congressman. ABC15 elections analyst Garrett Archer rebutted claims that Holodnak was a top fundraiser for Attorney General Kris Mayes.
“The individual is a donor, but by no means is he a ‘top fundraiser,’” said Archer. “There are 1,400 other entries in the records with higher amounts.”
Hamadeh’s campaign rejected this interpretation of Holodnak as a passive supporter based on donation size.
“Kris Mayes hates cops. This lunatic gave her money because he likes that she hates cops, and you defend it because this is the ONLY demographic still interested in your bullsh*t,” stated the Hamadeh campaign.
As if you’d ever be this pedantic if it involved a Republican. @KrisMayes hates cops. This lunatic gave her money because he likes that she hates cops, and you defend it because this is the ONLY demographic still interested in your bullshit.

Mayes’ campaign records show Holodnak gave two donations: $100 last April, and $750 in October 2022.
As a local party official, Holodnak also assisted with campaign fundraising efforts for Democratic candidates.
The donation from last April was made the same day Mayes announced her lawsuit against President Donald Trump over his tariffs.
The October 2022 donation came a day after reporting emerged questioning Mayes’ stock trades prior to the $2.6 billion sale of The Arizona Republic. At the time, Mayes was in her candidacy for attorney general.
Holodnak is also alleged to be a bundler for Rep. Greg Stanton. FEC records reflect Holodnak donated over $2,700 to Stanton’s campaigns from 2020 to 2024.
🚨Live with @GarretLewis on KFYI.
I just revealed that I spoke with a member of Mark’s inner circle who told me Mark Holodnak is also a bundler for Democrat Congressman @gregstantonaz.

Holodnak’s aggressive style of political discourse over ICE aligns with Mayes’ recent remarks.
Last week, Mayes advised Arizonans that they had a reasonable justification for shooting ICE agents since they’re masked.
“[W]e have a Stand Your Ground law that says that if you reasonably believe your life is in danger and you’re in your house or your car or on your property that you could defend yourself with lethal force,” said Mayes. “It’s kind of a recipe for disaster. Because you have these masked federal officers with very little identification, sometimes no identification, wearing plain clothes and masks.”
Hamadeh condemned the attorney general’s remarks.
“Kris Mayes’ comments justifying the murder of our ICE agents were reprehensible but entirely predictable,” said Hamadeh. “This is the natural consequence of elevating a far-left political activist to Arizona’s top law enforcement position.”
i’m an old man – i offer a few minutes in the cage with me…
When haven’t you heard a democrat say anything without being vulgar?
Sometimes when I think that Democrats can’t get more disgusting, they surprise me by sliding even lower. I’m glad that these two girls have the intestinal fortitude to show their support ICE and the difficult job that they took on. We all just better hope that the Democrats don’t move into the White House in 29. If they do it will be 2021 all over again.
Let’s see what other democrats have to say in response. I bet there is silence to this outrageous behavior. I hope his constituents remember his words and vote accordingly next election. What a jerk!
This is who they are. This is what they are.
Let’s face it, if anyone has a smelly C U next Tuesday, it’s Kris Mayes!
Disgusting behavior by yet another unhinged democrat.
Real brace “man” harassing two girls for their support. This is typical of Democrats to go after those who can’t defend themselves. He wouldn’t do that to a man because he knows he’d end up in a hospital. Typical Democrap coward
Mark Holodnak needs to learn the hard way how to behave around young women. Just because you disagree with their opinions doesn’t give you any right to verbally abuse and degrade them. So much for Dems support of women, shameful hypocrisy.
Typical POS Democrat…disgraceful!
