"Former Arizona GOP House Speaker Rusty Bowers, who lost his bid for a state Senate seat, said America and the Republican party are in dire straits.
"The constitution is hanging by a thread," Bowers told The Guardian in an interview published Saturday. "The funny thing is, I always thought it would be the other guys. And it's my side. That just rips at my heart: that we would be the people who would surrender the constitution in order to win an election. That just blows my mind."
Earlier this month, Bowers, who testified in front of the House January 6 committee lost his primary to Arizona state Sen. David Farnsworth, who was backed by former President Donald Trump.
Bowers ran for the senate seat because of term limitations for serving in the House."

Big and publicly and say why!
I dont know how many voted for you in the primary, but a bunch would follow you and also quit, maybe enough to swing the election to someone who wont surrender the constitution in order to win an election.

Bowers, who is a fourth-generation Arizonan,[11] grew up on a sheep ranch in Chino Valley.[12] He attended Mesa Community College, Arizona State University, and Brigham Young University. A member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, he spent two years as a Mormon missionary in Mexico.[13]
White horse prophesy:
Smith's supposed original statement predicts that the US Constitution will one day "hang like a thread" but be saved by Latter-day Saints. The embellished version portrays it to be "by the efforts of the White Horse."
