OPINION — Andy Biggs wants Arizonans to forget what he did after the 2020 election. We shouldn't, and I for certain have not.
The organizer of the Jan. 6 rally said Biggs helped come up with the idea. Biggs voted to throw out Arizona's 2020 election results, that included the two votes this household cast for Joe Biden. He pushed our own state officials to toss out our electors. He worked with the White House trying to overturn the election. Then he asked for a pardon, and when Congress subpoenaed him to answer for it, he ignored it.
He even voted no on giving a medal to the police who protected the Capitol that day. Later, he visited a jail where Jan. 6 defendants were being held and called to pardon them all. Arizonans know exactly where Andy Biggs stands: with the people who attacked police officers and the president who pointed them in the direction of the Capitol that morning, not the officers who defended the Capitol.
