Arizona's GOP primaries are heating up as Republican rivals in the crowded Senate race accuse each other of antisemitism and being tools of China.
In one of the most closely watched political contests of the year, businessman Jim Lamon unleashed his latest salvo on Blake Masters, accusing the former Thiel Capital chief operating officer and newest Donald Trump endorsee of being an antisemite.
The 35-year-old venture capitalist, backed by tech billionaire and GOP megadonor Peter Thiel, also claimed in the interview that campaign finance laws need"radical reform" because they benefit the Democratic Party. He added, without proof, that the Department of Justice is targeting him and said that the agency"would love to find a foot fault on something and all of a sudden take me out.
Masters has frequently leaned in on election conspiracy theories throughout his campaign. And though he has struggled to find footing with Republicans, his amped-up rhetoric caught the eye of the former president, who gave him his seal of approval last week. All have cast their primary contest as a fight for the future of America and themselves as the only person capable of fixing a corrupt voting system that stole the 2020 presidential election win from Trump.
"Arizona is a state where the 2020 election was rigged and stolen, and a very thorough audit proved it," Trump claimed last week."Blake knows that the 'Crime of the Century' took place, he will expose it and also, never let it happen again."
