PHOENIX — A prominent national organization that advocates for acceptance and equality singled out Arizona State Senator Wendy Rogers for her extremist views.

“We’ve just released an analysis of extremist rhetoric in the elections this year, and Wendy Rogers is at the top of that list,” said Tammy Gillies, Anti-Defamation League Regional Director for San Diego and Phoenix.

The analysis comes after Rogers recently shared a message on Martin Luther King Jr. Day that stated, “Celebrate Lee-Jackson Day.”

The tweet contains photos of confederate leaders Stonewall Jackson and Robert E. Lee who fought against the Union and to preserve slavery.

Rogers represents legislative District 6, which includes parts of four counties in the central and northern portions of Arizona.

4. In 1989/1990 it was hands down David Duke

Others on that list a little later included Louisiana State Rep. Woody Jenkins (came this close to winning a US Senate seat in 1996) and Colorado State Senator Charlie Duke of Colorado (look him up).

On the flip side, there's Kshama Sawant, a hard-left Socialist Alternative on the Seattle City Council that is very much against President Biden.
