Blake Masters Tells Fox News He Still Believes Trump Won in 2020
Arizona GOP Senate candidate Blake Masters doubled down on his election denialism on Wednesday, telling Fox News that he still believes former President Donald Trump defeated Joe Biden in the 2020 election.
With his race against incumbent Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) tightening in recent weeks, the ultra-conservative Masters has attempted to distance himself from unpopular right-wing positions and soften his stances on several divisive issues. Notably, the Trump-backed venture capitalist quietly scrubbed a section of his campaign website peddling the “Big Lie” about a “stolen” 2020 election.
“The 2020 election was a rotten mess,” the site read in August. “If we had had a free and fair election, President Trump would be sitting in the Oval Office today and America would be so much better off.”
