Shelby Busch, the vice chair of the Maricopa County Republican Committee and chair of Arizona’s delegation to the Republican convention, made a controversial statement this week threatening to lynch Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer. The incident was captured in a video where Busch stated, 'If Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer walked into this room, I would lynch him.' The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and Richer, a fellow Republican, have since claimed that the threat was made because Richer is Jewish. Busch has been known to challenge the legitimacy of election results.
