Wendy Rogers retweeted X-rated video of Hunter Biden. Classy

I would say that Republican state Sen. Wendy Rogers could not sink any lower than she did this week, but that’s not true.

The political cesspool that is Rogers knows no depth. It's immeasurable.

This was evidenced on Wednesday when the Arizona state senator retweeted a video that contained X-rated images of Hunter Biden.

Rogers' disgusting retweet was reported by Dennis Welch of 3TV/CBS 5.

Being stupid as a defense

Welch noted that Republican Arizona Senate President Warren Peterson issued a statement saying, “[Rogers] didn’t realize those images were in that video until it was brought to her attention, and she immediately removed the video from her feed.”

Didn’t realize the images were on the video?

So, she was retweeting something she hadn’t even watched?

Meaning what?

That her defense for distributing pornography over the internet is … stupidity?

What of the party that talks of protecting kids from porn?

There are plenty of kids on Twitter. The platform is open to those as young as 13.So much for the GOP's blustery desire to keep pornography away from children.

Not that Rogers hasn't brought shame to her party or herself before.

She has cozied up to white nationalists, spread QAnon lunacy, backed Alex Jones over the parents of murdered children in Sandy Hook, and even tweeted a photo of herself next to a dead rhino branded with the Star of David.

Rogers has disgraced herself and the GOP plenty of times

Rogers was censured by her colleagues after speaking at a gathering of white supremacists where she called for public hangings and used antisemitic tropes, like calling the president of Ukraine a “globalist puppet” of billionaire George Soros.

She’s pushed the racist “great replacement” conspiracy popular with white supremacists, who say white Americans are being replaced by immigrants.

Now this.

It seems to be fair game these days to attack a member of a politician’s family to get to the politician. It’s cheap. It’s sleazy. But that’s how it is. Rogers should hope there are no black sheep in her extended flock. Although I suppose it would be difficult for even the worse of her relatives to outdo her.

What something like Rogers’ retweet of the Hunter Biden video demonstrates clearly, however, is something we should already know.

The president’s son has trouble.

The Arizona state senator is sick.
