Trump-backed Arizona candidate called COVID-19 vaccine 'crime against humanity': report
Arizona state Rep. Mark Finchem (R), who has been endorsed by former President Trump for Arizona secretary of state, called the COVID-19 vaccine a "crime against humanity" and shared other conspiracy theories related to the vaccine, according to a report by CNN's Kfile.
CNN linked to multiple posts from Finchem on Gab, a social media network popular with conservatives and the alt-right, where he shared anti-vaccine views. He said in July last year that he refused to get vaccinated because of the "potentially deadly gene therapy."
in one post shared on Gab in August 2021, Finchem, who began serving in Arizona's legislature in 2015, wrote: "It ain't a vaccine!!! Call it what it is, a crime against humanity."
His campaign did not immediately respond to The Hill's request for comment.
