Arizona State Senator Anthony Kern, an indicted fake elector, has been banned from using Senate broadcast equipment after he appeared on a talk show hosted by antisemitic white nationalist Stew Peters. Despite this, Kern continues to chair the Judiciary Committee. Peters is known for promoting antisemitic conspiracy theories and viewing Adolf Hitler as a 'hero.' The decision to revoke Kern's privileges was made to prevent the legitimization of extremist views, as noted by extremism experts. The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) has expressed approval of the Senate's action, highlighting that Kern used taxpayer-funded facilities for the appearance, where he also promoted anti-LGBTQ+ views.
