The chairwoman of the Arizona Republican Party is encouraging people planning to protest stay-at-home orders imposed amid the coronavirus pandemic to dress like health care workers.

Recently, several health care workers around the country have worn their scrubs and medical gear to counterprotest against people calling for states to reopen against the urgings of medical experts.
Dr. Kelli Ward, a former state senator and primary care physician, tweeted on Friday that people participating in protests to end the government-imposed closures of regular business should wear scrubs and masks.

"Planning protest to #ReOpenAmerica? EVERYONE wear scrubs & masks - the media doesn't care if you are really in healthcare or not - it's the 'message' that matters," she wrote.

Ward's comments come a few days after she questioned the authenticity of a small group of health care workers in Colorado who counterprotested against people calling for the state to reopen....

1. Nothing exudes responsibility in government like encouraging FAKE PEOPLE to impersonate

medical personnel. I mean this is a real winner of a theme.

That is what decent people would regard as stolen valour

So of course it's a Republican.

[murielm99]

5. And they accuse of of sending in actors.

Fools. Anyway, let them find the clothing. It is hard enough for real first responders to get what they need.

[iluvtennis]

6. Ridiculous. But since they can't resist packing guns, we'll know who the anti lockdown fools are. nt

7. Why aren't you in hospital helping people that have this virus.........................

or did you fucking use the oath of being doctor and throw it down the toilet...........and watch it twirl around........glad your not my doctor...................your fucking dangerous............

[Midnight Writer]

8. No morals, no ethics, no conscience. Lie, cheat, win at any cost. Today's Republican Party.

9. "it's the 'message' that matters"

Exactly the way conservatism has been messaged for decades. Tall tales, urban legends, and fabrications are galore from Paul Harvey's heyday of telling folksy-yet-fake stories to Ronald Reagan's "welfare queen" myth to chain emails to Facebook/Twitter today. (And of course, the current "president".) Stephen Colbert nailed it back in his Colbert Report days with "truthiness" - right wingers keep rationalizing their BS with the excuse "even if it isn't true, it sounds good enough to be true."

15. Nixon RAT FUCKING

CIRCA 2020.........

We are going to be seeing alot of that these next months.........

[Bernardo de La Paz]

18. Indeed. False flagging. They can't win by being honest, so they have to lie and be shitty. . . . nt

[rockfordfile]

21. That's because they're not held accountable

[yaesu]

10. this is dangerous, like impersonating a police officer, he should be locked up. nt

[diva77]

12. good point (BTW, it's Kelli Ward, chairwoman)

[diva77]

11. SHE NEEDS TO RESIGN PRONTO!!!!

I don't know whether she still has a medical license, but it seems to me she is violating the Hippocratic Oath.

[RhodeIslandOne]

19. Why, she is the perfect representative of the Republican party....

This is all they are. They stink from the head down.

[hibbing]

13. Every damn day it gets worse with these aholes n/t

[Canoe52]

14. +1,000,000,000,000,000

So tired of these covidiots.

[DENVERPOPS]

16. I have a feeling

We ain't seen nothing yet........And I can hardly wait for their "October Surprise" they are known for revealing at the last minute.

Remember the "Swiftboating" of Kerrey...etc etc etc

[BaronChocula]

17. Then Arizona health care workers should

dress like filthy heaps of trash who haven't gotten over the Civil War. We'll call it Reverse Day.

[IronLionZion]

20. Alternative facts

everything they do is fake so of course they project it as the media is fake. They have openly conservative media, so of course everything else out there must be a liberal plot.

[cp]

22. So these fuckwits are stealing PPE that medical workers need?

Ward is a lunatic, and this is not her first Big Stupid.

[TheFourthMind]

23. Republicans are trash. n/t

[Paladin]

24. Protestors disguised as healthcare workers need to suffer severe beatings.

And think themselves lucky for getting off so easy, afterwards.

[NonPC]

25. Just Another AZ Wing Nut

If you want to see her bio, go to Wikipedia. As you will read, she is an extremist and a real poor excuse for a person.

AZ is now definitely purple. The Governor is sucking up to Trump, and knows he needs to join the western states alliance.

Hopefully Mark Kelly will beat McSally in the senate race by a landslide here in AZ, and put that loser out of a job.

The old Repukes need to be beaten and fade away. AZ deserves better.

26. Send in the Clowns

When the Chairwoman comes down with Covid, send in those clowns dressed in their costumes (Send in the Clowns) to nurse her back to health. See how cute she thinks THAT is.
