Arizona will seldom have moments of clarity like this, so let’s get to the brutal facts.
One of our two-major party candidates for governor has just endorsed a man who hates Jewish people, despises gay people and wants no Black or brown immigrants in this country.
Jarrin Jackson is no casual bigot. He has produced such a stream of internet bile he can only be seen as a committed anti-Semite, homophobe and racist – one of the most vile people in political life, unfit for government and unwelcome in polite society.
And yet Jarrin Jackson, Republican candidate for the Oklahoma state Senate, tweeted on Wednesday that he has won the endorsement of Kari Lake, Arizona Republican candidate for governor. There he was photoshopped together with the smiling Lake, two peas in a tweet.

..."Jackson has also been endorsed by Arizona GOP secretary of state nominee Mark Finchem and Republican state Sen. Wendy Rogers. Finchem, Rogers and Jackson all have hired Go Right Strategies, a Florida political consulting firm owned by Rogers’ nephew, for their campaigns.
As of mid-July, Lake had not hired Go Right Strategies; Trumble did not respond to a question about whether the Lake campaign had hired the firm in the weeks since the most recent campaign finance report was filed.
Lake won the Aug. 2 primary election, defeating wealthy developer Karrin Taylor Robson to earn the Republican nomination for governor. She faces Secretary of State Katie Hobbs, the Democratic nominee, in November.
A poll released last week that was commissioned by Fox News found Hobbs leading Lake by three percentage points."
