Dem governor comms hire has penchant for anti-white posts on social media

The reelection campaign of Governor Katie Hobbs, D-Ariz., has recently come under fire for hiring Michael Beyer as her communications director, despite his history of making inflammatory comments about white people on social media. Beyer, who is white himself, has a track record of targeting various demographics solely because they are white, regardless of their political affiliation.

A deep dive into Beyer’s social media posts reveals a pattern of attacking white individuals, including accusing the “religious right” of being united by “a belief in white supremacy,” criticizing Bernie Sanders’ white supporters for having “white entitlement,” and accusing Taylor Swift and other “white people” of “romanticizing the conquest of Africa.” Beyer has also made derogatory remarks about gay white Republicans and expressed disdain for the presence of white individuals in various contexts.

Hobbs’ decision to bring Beyer on board as her campaign spokesperson has raised eyebrows, especially given the governor’s progressive stance and vocal opposition to former President Trump. This hire is just the latest in a series of staffing issues for Hobbs, as she has faced high turnover rates among her campaign staff and has had to fire employees over controversial social media posts in the past.

Despite the backlash, both the Hobbs campaign and Beyer have remained silent in response to inquiries about the hiring decision. This lack of communication has only fueled further criticism and calls for reconsideration of Beyer’s role within the campaign.

In addition to the controversy surrounding Beyer, Hobbs has had to deal with other staffing issues, including the firing of a former press secretary for posting a controversial image on social media. The governor’s office has also been plagued by a high turnover rate, with two-thirds of her gubernatorial campaign staff leaving in a span of just five months due to what some described as an “emotionally abusive” work environment.

Despite these challenges, Hobbs remains focused on her reelection campaign and her progressive agenda for Arizona. However, the controversies surrounding her staffing decisions and workplace culture continue to cast a shadow over her administration. Only time will tell how these issues will impact her bid for reelection in 2026.
