(Mark Pellin, Headline USA) Arizona Democrat Gov. Katie Hobbs is under increasing pressure to fire her press secretary for a grossly inappropriate and inflammatory social media post that mocked the victims of Monday’s mass shooting at the Covenant School and promoted violence in defense of a radical trans agenda.
“This is what @katiehobbs press secretary decided to tweet after a trans militant shut up a school. Any Republican would be fired for this in an instant. We’re done with the double standard. @joss_berry must be fired,” Matt Walsh tweeted.

The offending post has since been locked, but it was caught for posterity, along with a message exchange between Hobbs’s press secretary Jocelyn Berry and a radicalized trans activist condoning violence.

In a message exchange, Berry reportedly picked up a thread and wrote that “If you work in the progressive community and are transphobic, you’re not progressive. Period. End of story. It’s not hard to understand but you’re (sic) bigotry masquerading as feminism absolutely is.”
A retort from “Elyse Guidas (she/her)” declared, “Not sure these transphobic-from-the-left posers know who they’re messing with,” which prompted Hobbs’s spox to post a picture of a gun-wielding activist, with the warning, “Us when we see transphobes.”
Hobbs offered no response when confronted with her press secretary’s dangerously outrageous rhetoric.
Really? This is what your press secretary thinks about this tragedy. Fire her immediately. No other answer will be acceptable. pic.twitter.com/cAW3pdROsS

Walsh wasn’t alone in calling out Hobbs for allowing the rhetoric to stand, in what many called a tacit endorsement for the kind of vengeance being fostered by trans radicals.
“Your own press secretary is promoting this kind of violence. You’re such a disgrace,” wrote one commentator, while another asked “How is this even real with your staffer showing the opposite?”
It doesn’t matter the political party, this is ABSOLUTELY unacceptable.
And this is one of the TOP officials in the state of Arizona.

Mike Cernovich also noted the absence of any mainstream media attention, calling it a “total cover-up.”
I checked and Arizona media as well as national regime press is pretending this doesn’t exist. Total cover up.
