Mark Brnovich, former Arizona attorney general, dies at 59

Source: KJZZ

Former Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich has died at 59, according to a statement released by his family Tuesday afternoon.

"It is with profound sorrow that the Brnovich family announces the passing of Mark Brnovich,” the family said. “Best known as Arizona’s 26th Attorney General, a state and federal prosecutor, and champion of justice, he will forever be remembered and cherished by us as a beloved father, husband, son, and brother.”

[…]

Brnovich’s legacy as attorney general was in many ways tied to Trump, particularly following the president’s loss in Arizona while seeking reelection in 2020.

Brnovich was initially one of the first elected officials to defend the state from baseless claims of fraud surrounding Trump’s defeat. And Brnovich fulfilled his duty by certifying the results of Trump’s loss, awarding the state’s 11 electoral votes to Democrat Joe Biden.

paragraphs are about the only thing he did right. The rest of the time, he was a typical, misogynist republican.

Yeah, the guy was a prick, simultaneously suggesting imaginary "voting irregularities" in an attempt to not be totally out of favor with his maga cabal. And his failed attempts to codify an abortion ban? Pretty disgusting. His death is like Johnson's baby shampoo.
