AZ GOP state senate candidate Mark Finchem goes on talk show with antisemitic host

Former Republican lawmaker and candidate for Arizona Senate Mark Finchem went on a talk show hosted by a conspiracy theorist and spread some conspiracy theories himself on the 23rd anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks. McKay has falsely claimed that Jewish people built up Hitler as a way for them to profit from World War II and praised the dictator for trying to break “free of the Rothschilds’ corrupt money-magic fiat system,” alluding to an antisemitic conspiracy theory. McKay referenced “intelligence drops” multiple times throughout the interview, which is an allusion to “ Q drops” which were a plethora of posts on sites like 4chan between 2017 and 2022 that were alleged to be from the infamous “Q.” Throughout the interview Finchem made a number of conspiratorial claims, without evidence, accusing the judge in the Tennessee case, as well as others, of being involved in child sex trafficking. “We are deeply troubled by Arizona GOP Senate nominee Mark Finchem’s recent appearance on a radio show hosted by an individual who regularly promotes antisemitic views and pro-Hitler rhetoric,” Alan Zeichick, board chair of the Jewish Community Relations Council of Greater Phoenix, said in a statement to the Arizona Mirror.
