The Arizona GOP has selected state Sen. Jake Hoffman, a fake elector indicted last week and accused of working to overturn President Joe Bidens 2020 win in Arizona, as a national committeeman for the Republican National Committee.
Hoffman who was indicted Wednesday along with 17 other people, including former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows and former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani was elected to the RNC post along with former state Rep. Liz Harris, who was expelled for reasons related to questioning Biden's 2020 victory in Arizona.
"I'm humbled and honored to have been elected as the next RNC National Committeeman for Arizona," Hoffman wrote Saturday evening on X. "The road to saving America runs through our great state, and the RNC has a crucial role to play in supporting and empowering the Republican grassroots who fight every day against the Democratic Fascists," Hoffman added.
On Jan. 5, 2021, Hoffman, then days away from becoming a state representative, sent a letter urging Vice President Mike Pence to delay the counting of Arizonas electors and to seek clarification from the Arizona legislature as to which slate of electors were proper and accurate. Hoffman himself was one of the 11 alternate electors.
