Trump-Backed Candidate Calls Own Supporters 'Crazies' for Believing the Election was Stolen: Texts


This article was originally published on Western Journal - Politics. You can read the original article HERE

Abe Hamadeh, a congressional candidate in Arizona who was endorsed by former President Donald Trump, called people who questioned the legitimacy of elections “crazies” in leaked private text messages.

Hamadeh’s campaign confirmed the legitimacy of the messages on Tuesday after they were first reported on by the U.K’s Daily Mail.

The messages were sent to former Arizona Republican Senate nominee Blake Masters, who lost a close race in November 2022 to incumbent Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly of Arizona.

While Masters was running for Senate, Hamadeh was running a race to become Arizona’s attorney general.

Hamadeh went on to lose that race by just a couple of hundred votes to Democrat Kris Mayes.

In January 2023, weeks after Masters and Hamadeh lost their respective races, the former reached out to the latter to check up on how he was doing, the Mail reported.

In  messages obtained by the outlet, Hamadeh replied he was “great.”

He also acknowledged he had challenged the results of his race and said people had supported him for doing so.

The candidate also called those people “crazies.”

Yes: 6% (13 Votes)

No: 94% (195 Votes)

“No matter what happens I’m winning right now,” a message from Hamadeh to Masters read. “I’m not lumped in with crazies with election stuff because I’m so close at 280 [votes].”

He added, “But the crazies love because they see me fighting. Win win”

Hamadeh and Masters are now both running for the seat soon to be vacated by Republican Rep. Debbie Lesko of Arizona.

The Arizona Republic reached out to Hamadeh on Tuesday to inquire about the legitimacy of the text messages.

The newspaper reported that Hamadeh campaign spokeswoman Erica Knight said the candidate did send the messages to Masters and confirmed them by sending screenshots.

“Explaining Hamadeh’s use of the term, Knight said he ‘has been labeled a crazy time and time again’ and ‘chooses to laugh about it rather than back down from the fight,'” the Republic reported, adding that it is “unclear how that applied to his remark about not being ‘lumped in with crazies.'”

She also said Masters’ release of them was a “sad and vindictive scheme to undermine President Trump.”

Trump endorsed Hamadeh in the race to replace Lesko last December, choosing the candidate over Masters and several others vying to replace her in the House.

The former president at the time praised Hamadeh for being “strong” on issues such as election integrity, border security and gun rights.

Trump’s campaign has not yet commented on Hamadeh’s texts to Masters or announced whether the endorsement would be rescinded.


A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:

“We don’t even know if an election will be held in 2024.” Those 12 words have been stuck in my head since I first read them. 

Former Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn recently made that comment to Floyd Brown, founder of The Western Journal. 

And if the leftists and the elites get their way, that’s exactly what will happen — no real election, no real choice for the Electoral College, and no real say for the American people. 

The Western Journal is fighting to keep that from happening, but we can’t do it alone.

We work tirelessly to expose the lying leftist media and the corrupt America-hating elites.

But Big Tech’s stranglehold is now so tight that without help from you, we will not be able to continue the fight. 

The 2024 election is literally the most important election for every living American. We have to unite and fight for our country, otherwise we will lose it. And if we lose the America we love in 2024, we’ll lose it for good. Can we count on you to help? 

With you we will be able to field journalists, do more investigative work, expose more corruption, and get desperately needed truth to millions of Americans. 

We can do this only with your help. Please don’t wait one minute. Donate right now.

Thank you for reading,

Josh Manning
