Arizona AG race rocked after GOP nominee's 2007-2010 posts on 'Ron Paul Forums' unearthed: report
The race for attorney general in Arizona heated up after the GOP nominee's 15-year-old writings on a website for Ron Paul fans were unearthed.
"Abe Hamadeh has built his campaign for attorney general around cleaning up elections in Arizona. Yet as a teenager, he boasted to an online message board about voting before he was legally allowed to and altering his mom's ballot," the Phoenix New Times reported. "The posts were among thousands Hamadeh made to an online message board beginning in 2007. When he wasn't bragging about altering ballots, he was offering antisemitic and sexist rants, backing Sheriff Joe Arpaio and arguing that voting should be limited to college graduates who pass intelligence tests."
Hamadeh has vowed to prosecute based off of the debunked "2000 Mules" movie by Dinesh D’Souza.
"In June 2007, Hamadeh, then 16 years old, became an active member of the online message board Ron Paul Forums, a virtual gathering space for supporters of Ron Paul, a Libertarian, former member of Congress and three-time presidential candidate. The most recent archived version of Hamadeh’s profile on the site shows that by October 3, 2010, he had posted 4,163 times," the New Times reported. "In a series of posts that started on October 5, 2008, the 17-year-old aspiring professional wrestler claimed that he altered and then cast his mother’s absentee ballot for Barack Obama, a then-U.S. senator who was running for president."
