The Arizona Republican Party on Tuesday said that it took down its incendiary tweet boosting President Trump’s long-shot efforts to challenge President-elect Joe Biden’s legitimate victory in the battleground state due to “copyright concerns.”
So, let me understand this: The AZ GOP is concerned about copyright infringement, but NOT concerned about inciting violence? Sounds like the current state of the Republican party alright!!

Yeah, make a death threat and then delete it with some mealy-mouthed excuse. I guarantee you everyone involved is a cussy frat boy type who hasn’t thrown a punch since middle school.
So the Az GOP is trying to encourage Trumpers to die for Trump’s fake election claims and a bunch of conspiracy theories?
Yeah ok, have at it. But I feel compelled to point out, you terrible excuses for humans, that people are dying on account of Trump, right now. By incredible numbers.
"The Republican Party of Arizona condemns all forms of violence in the strongest terms. Fictional movie scenes should be weighed in their proper context,” Henry told the Phoenix New Times in an email. “However, due to concerns about copyright and fair use law, this clip has been removed.”
Can anyone parse WTF that’s supposed to mean, other than “I’m spewing word-salad chaff to distract people”?
The first sentence says violence bad. Second sentence says fictional violence good, but maybe not directly applicable to real world. Third sentence says two apparently contradictory things, because fair use is typically a defense against claims of copyright infringement.
This is certainly progress. The G.O.P. has a long history of violating others’ copyrights. Ask any number of musicians whose compositions have been hijacked for Republican rallies.
