The Arizona GOP has selected state Sen. Jake Hoffman, a “fake elector” indicted earlier this week for his alleged efforts to overturn President Joe Biden’s 2020 Arizona win, as a national committeeman for the Republican National Committee. Hoffman — who was indicted on Wednesday along with 17 others, including former Chief of Staff Mark Meadows and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani — was elected to the RNC post along with former Arizona state Rep.
” “The defendants intended that the false votes for Trump and Pence would encourage Vice President Pence to reject the certified Biden-Harris electors' votes regardless of the result of any legal challenge,” she added in the video. Along with Hoffman, the Arizona GOP also selected former state rep. Liz Harris as a national committeewoman.
