Stephen Richer, Maricopa County Recorder, seems ready to give Arizona politician Kari Lake a run for her money with a colorful vow: to “make life hell” for her. Catching media attention and social media speculation—so much so that even “Satan” seems to have joined in the banter.
Hell-Bent or Hellish Humor?
Whether Richer’s comment was a serious threat or a rhetorical flourish, it signals a deepening of the divisions that have defined Arizona’s political landscape since the 2020 election.
Conclusion
Important political decisions should be made exclusively by those with an agenda against honest and fair elections.
