So it’s Mark Kelly or bust

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona is doing a fantastic job. And we have to help him keep his seat in the midterm elections. The GOP has some pretty awful people running in Arizona, including Kari Lake for Governor.

Blake Masters is running against Senator Kelly. Masters is about as awful a candidate as can possibly be had. An election denier and a racist, Masters, is the last person we need in the Senate.

But Arizona is a swing state, so we have to keep up the activism. And we just got a bit of help in that regard. It all started with an endorsement Masters received from Andrew Torba. Torba runs “Gab,” which is a social media site also known to be where racists, white nationalists, and creeps go to play. The network is known to be a hotbed of alt-right hate.

So when Torba endorsed Masters, Masters claimed he had no idea who Torba was. “I’ve never heard of this guy, and I reject his support,” Masters declared hostilely. Only this statement offended Torba, who said on Gab that: “Blake Masters knows exactly who I am.”

And here is where things get awful for Masters. Lordy, there are tapes. Well — there is at least ONE tape, and the site Jewish Insider appears to have it. The site said that Masters and Torba had a Twitter exchange that lasted several minutes. In fact, Torba even asked Masters to join Gab and Masters said he’d “check it out.”

The two men then proceeded to discuss censorship, with Masters calling Apple “super messed up” for banning Gab from their app store. So it appears Masters lied when he said he did not know who Torba was — unless he’s developed a sudden severe case of amnesia.

And Torba is not happy, writing on Gab, “What is concerning is that Blake can flat-out lie like this.” Please sign up to help Senator Mark Kelly, and let’s keep Masters and his lies out of the Senate.
