ARIZONA: Outgoing State Senator Ken Bennett Tries to Flip AZ Senate to Democrats

Last Updated on October 24, 2024

A long time McCain lackey and RINO Republican is actively working to undermine the Republican majority Senate in Arizona.

Out-going RINO Senator Ken Bennett publicly announced on his Facebook page that he does not plan to vote for Mark Finchem on November 5th, citing unsourced claims that Finchem is working against two other Republicans.

At a time when Republicans nationwide and in Arizona are under scrutiny for supporting fair elections, Bennett’s unexpected move to reject a verified Republican Party nominee in an upcoming general election race is causing quite a stir.

Senator Ken Bennett, a Republican by election, took to Facebook recently to articulate his opposition to the Republican Party candidate in his constituency.

Recent reports suggest that Mark Finchem shared with a group of constituents his strategy to unseat the respected LD-1 State Representatives Quang Nguyen and Selina Bliss in the 2026 election. Bennett expressed strong disapproval of this plan, highlighting the valuable service these legislators provide to District 1 and announcing his decision not to support Finchem in the upcoming election on November 5th.

WHO’S MAKING NEWS

Ken Bennett is a senior member of the RINO, John McCain establishment.

The benefits of membership Bennett enjoys as a member of the McCain mafia include total familial impunity for sodomizing underage boys, (More on that below.) among others.

Ken Bennett has long been viewed by the McCain Mafia as a golden boy in Arizona.

Bennett’s bona fides include voting against legislation to protect children from transgenderism in their public schools.

Bennett also voted against legislation that would bar satanic displays from public property.

And Bennett has a long track record of sabotaging election integrity in Arizona.

SOUR GRAPES COULD COST REPUBLICANS THE SENATE MAJORITY 

Mark Finchem is the man who ousted Ken Bennett. Finchem, one of Arizona’s staunchest America First patriots, won the 2022 Republican primary for Secretary of State in a landslide, in particular besting RINO Michelle Ugenti-Rita, who didn’t believe there was fraud in the 2020 presidential election.

When reached for comment on Bennett’s claims, Republican nominee Mark Finchem said, “I don’t typically respond to untruths like the claim Mr. Bennett has made. I am shocked at his display of bitterness. In effect, he is showing a willingness to turn over the Arizona Senate to Democrat control because he lost the primary with his irresponsible post.”

Conservative leader and Arizona’s National Committeeman Jake Hoffman has worked against the McCain wing of the party his entire career.

When reached for comment on Bennett’s Democrat coddling duplicity, Hoffman didn’t mince words.

“With a track record of fighting against election integrity, advocating for tax increases while his own constituents suffer from skyrocketing inflation, and playing footsie with radical Marxists like Katie Hobbs and Adrian Fontes while they are actively at work destroying our state — Ken Bennett is a political fossil of decades gone by that fails to possess even a basic understanding of what time it is in the current battle between good and evil.  Thankfully the people are waking up to the clear and present danger posed by uniparty career politicians like him, which is why he was destroyed by more than 15 points in his recent primary.”

WHY IT MATTERS

All eleven of the state’s electoral college votes went to Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election after Biden managed to slide by Donald Trump by a mere 10,457 votes out of more than 3.33 million total votes — a slim margin of only 0.3%.

Arizona is a key swing state for both parties’ presidential nominees, with eleven electoral college votes.

So the idea that Senator Bennett would openly work against a nominee in his own party during a contentious general election cycle would seemingly disqualify him from future participation in the

BENNETT WORKED AGAINST THE ARIZONA AUDITS

Ken Bennett meets with CNN reporters

Ken Bennett isn’t just a RINO, McCain Mafia member — he’s the primary reason audits were never able to get off the ground in Arizona.

During the first phase of the audit, Bennett and Fann set themselves up as the director and contact point for the audit.

Any time developments arose, Bennett would make a dash to any and all media as the forensic audit began.

“Bennett is really a liberal wrapped in Republican cloth pretending to defend the conservative principles of a Barry Goldwater, John Rhodes, a Sam Steiger and a host of others that made Arizona nationally known for its conservative ways,” one prominent conservative told National File.

“Bennett loves to brag at public gatherings how he crosses the political aisle to help Democrats feel so included and to maintain the status quo,” the source said.

ARIZONA IS GROUND ZERO FOR THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION

Both Arizona and Georgia have become ground zero in the battle for election integrity in the wake of the badly run 2020 presidential election.

That’s because Biden won Arizona and Georgia by about eleven thousand votes out of millions cast — razor thin margins — resulting in 25 electoral votes for the Biden-Harris ticket.

By contrast, the other swing states Biden were not nearly as competitive. In Michigan, Biden won by a margin of 155 thousand votes. In Wisconsin, Biden won by over 20k votes — nearly one full percentage point ahead of Trump. In Pennsylvania, Biden-Harris ticket won by more than 80 thousand votes. And in Nevada Biden won by over 33,500 votes — a wide margin.

Adding Helene-ravaged North Carolina to the mix, where Biden only lost by 74,481 votes, Trump’s electoral math gets more difficult.

Bennett has a long record of voting with Democrats. 

When conservatives introduced H.B. 2481, a transparency bill that would require public comment before public bodies, Bennett joined Democrats, and voted against transparency.

When Republicans introduced a ballot initiative HCR 2018 to prohibit municipalities from imposing mileage-based taxes and fees on owners of vehicles, Bennett joined Democrats and voted against stopping mileage based taxes.

Bennett also joined Democrats and voted against SB 1010 which would have banned the tracking of an individual’s miles traveled for the purposes of imposing taxes and fees.

When Republicans introduced ballot initiative HCR 2032 to eliminate early voting by mail in Arizona, and to raise the bar to qualify for absentee ballot voting, Bennett joined Democrats by abstaining from voting in his elections committee, effectively voting to keep expanded early and absentee ballot voting.

When Republicans introduced SB 1148 to provide an individual income tax rebate for elderly Arizonans older than age 65, Bennett joined Democrats in voting against the rebate.

And when Republicans introduced a ballot initiative SCR 1013 to statutorily prohibit school district employees from referring to a student as anything other than pronouns consistent with the person’s biological assigned sex at birth without parental consent, Bennett once again joined Democrats and voted to allow adults to mis-gender minor children without parental consent.

Bennett’s protector, former state senator Karen Fann, helped to install Bennett as the liaison during the infamous audits, elevating someone who opposed Donald Trump to a position of power in a crucial swing state.

Fann has receded to relative obscurity since the audit controversy in Arizona.

BENNETT WORKING AGAINST OTHER REPUBLICANS

Bennett has been known to buck the Republican party and cast decisive votes against conservative-backed bills in the narrowly divided Arizona Legislature.

BAD ON IMMIGRATION

Bennett also refused to vote for a proposed ballot measure to make illegal immigration a state crime.

House Concurrent Resolution 2060 would have made it a state crime to cross the Arizona-Mexico border outside of official ports of entry. That would allow local law enforcement to make arrests and local judges to order those convicted to leave the country.

Bennett said he doesn’t want Arizona state law to be applied to Barack Obama’s so-called ‘Dreamers.’

As Chairman of the Education Committee, Bennett regularly passed liberal legislation and denied conservative initiatives.

The Republican Party in Arizona has performed very poorly under his leadership. That’s largely due to Bennett’s facilitation of the infiltration of the McCain cabal and other RINOs and socialists masquerading as Republicans.

Bennett has also allocated $2 MILLION to Democrat Secretary of State Adrian Fontes’s office.

HORSE TRADING TO GET IN GOOD WITH DEMOCRATS

Multiple sources confirm to National File that Bennett is lobbying Sec. State Adrian Fontes and current Governor Katie Hobbes — both Democrats — in hopes of attaining a higher office.

Indications point to idea that Bennett could go back in as Arizona’s Secretary of State or even that he could be named as Lt. Governor in the next gubernatorial cycle in 2026.

Despite being installed by Fann as the Senator in charge of Arizona’s election audit at the Phoenix Convention Center, the public record shows that Bennett worked hard against Arizona Republicans in search of free, fair elections.

National File has spoken with a half-dozen Arizona state legislators about Bennett, and the consensus is that Bennett is lobbying Democrat statewide office holders Adrian Fontes, the Secretary of State, and former Secretary of State, no Governor Katie Hobbes.

Our sources unanimously point to idea that Bennett could go back into office as either Secretary of State or he could be named as Lt. Gov in what would be pitched as a “unity” government.

KEN BENNETT’S SON SODOMIZED 18 YOUNG BOYS

Ken Bennett’s adult son Clifton Bennett, then an 18-year-old, was charged with 18 counts of aggravated assault and 18 counts of kidnapping.

Bennett confessed that he and another teen sodomized several 11-to-14-year-old boys with broomsticks and flashlights in 40 separate incidents.

Bennett also caught an assault charge for choking three boys until they passed out.

Unbelievably, Bennett’s prosecutor told the judge that the “broomsticking” was a “hazing ritual” and a punishment for breaking rules, and that the anal rape did not sexual assault.

The assaults were not viewed as sexual in nature, contended the prosecutor, because the prosecution could not prove that the perpetrators had “sexual intent.”

Whether Bennett will be censured by the Arizona GOP remains to be seen.

National File will keep update this story as further developments emerge.
