The Pima County, Arizona Democratic Party posted the message “F*ck the 4th” in posts on Facebook and Twitter promoting a Women’s March protest in Tucson Monday evening. The Pima Dems added a comment on Facebook, “July 4th. We are not celebrating until we get our independence back.”
The Facebook post was still live as of 3 p.m. MST. The post on Twitter, featuring a similar graphic but with the comment by the Democrats, “F*ck the 4th. See you at Reid Park,” was taken down after the Democrats were called out by Leigh Wolf who commented, This is an official verified page of @TheDemocrats. When people show you who they are, believe them the first time. Democrats hate the 4th of July and they hate everything America stands for.”
Democrats have become unhinged since a draft decision was leaked showing the Supreme Court would be overturning Roe v. Wade and returning the decision about abortion to the states (the decision was officially released last Friday). Pro life pregnancy centers have been firebombed, protest mobs have targeted the homes of Republican appointed Supreme Court Justices with one Justice, Brett Kavanaugh having an armed would-be assassin show up at his with plans to murder Kavanaugh and perhaps his wife and children.
UPDATE: The Pima Dems posted an explanation:
“Thread: 1/3 PCDP posted a graphic advertising a women’s march which, we agree, was in poor taste. We were eager to share the event, and in our haste we used the graphic provided by the event organizer. That was a mistake, and we will do better…2/3 Make no mistake, however. We support the event which will be on July 4 at 7 pm at Reid Park. The event was organized to help women in our community grieve for the loss of their bodily autonomy, which we consider an elemental right…3/3 Our posting of the graphic upset some people. We urge you to save your outrage for the women in this state who will die of botched abortions. Arizona is not a good place to be a woman right now.”
Folks aren’t buying it, including KOLD-TV anchor Dave Marries, “What about the post itself where you wrote, “F*ck the Fourth. See you at Reid Park”? Who wrote that?”
