The press secretary for Democrat Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs resigned Wednesday after a meme she posted on Twitter alarmed the public, since it appeared to be a threat against conservatives.
The post was made hours after a transgender individual killed six people, including three children, at a Christian school in Nashville.
Hobbs’ Press Secretary Josselyn Berry used an image from the movie “Gloria,” showing a woman with handguns pointed at some type of threat off screen. Berry captioned it “Us when we see transphobes.” Progressives like Berry use the word ‘transphobes’ to describe conservatives.
Since the mass shooting, a number of messages have been placed on social media that menace conservatives. Many conservatives believe there are just two genders, an idea that appears to be the equivalent to “genocide” to a radicalized segment of the progressive Left, such as Berry.
Hobbs’ office issued a statement on Wednesday:
“The Governor does not condone violence in any form. This administration holds mutual respect at the forefront of how we engage with one another. The post by the Press Secretary is not reflective of the values of the administration. The Governor has received and accepted the resignation of the Press Secretary.”
Hobbs won as governor in 2022 against conservative Kari Lake in a tight race. Although Lake challenged the results, the courts have rejected her appeals.
