A tweet from the Pima County, Arizona Democratic Party has been deleted after it advertised a flyer for a “F*ck the 4th” event.
The now-deleted tweet also stated, “F*ck the Fourth. See you at Reid Park.”
The event description read, “Bring comfortable shoes, water, lawn chairs, posters, and your anger.”
After deleting the tweet, which was likely due to the backlash, the party has attempted to explain why, but the explanation doesn’t add up, due to the added statement to the tweet.
“Thread: 1/3 PCDP posted a graphic advertising a women’s march which, we agree, was in poor taste. We were eager to share the event, and in our haste we used the graphic provided by the event organizer. That was a mistake, and we will do better.”
“Make no mistake, however. We support the event which will be on July 4 at 7 pm at Reid Park. The event was organized to help women in our community grieve for the loss of their bodily autonomy, which we consider an elemental right.”
“Our posting of the graphic upset some people. We urge you to save your outrage for the women in this state who will die of botched abortions. Arizona is not a good place to be a woman right now.”

Arizona GOP Gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake responded after the debacle and advertised a pro-America event of her own in a tweet.
“The Arizona Democrat Party is celebrating 4th of July with a ‘F*CK THE FOURTH’ protest @katiehobbs @azdemparty Arizona Republicans, Independents & #WalkAway Dems are celebrating America at a gun range. @KariLake @AZGOP The difference could not be more clear.”
