The House GOP's campaign arm announced that an Arizona Republican candidate who praised the Proud Boys in a September speech has advanced to the next level of its campaign support process.
Walt Blackman, an Arizona state representative running for Congress in Arizona's 1st Congressional District, said having the far-right extremist group attend one of his rallies was one of the proudest moments of his life. "I believe those are the Proud Boys back there," Blackman said in late September."Let me tell you something about the Proud Boys. The Proud Boys came to one of my events and that was one of the proudest moments of my life.
In a statement to CNN on Wednesday, Blackman condemned the Proud Boys."I'm not a career politician. As of three years ago, I was the first Black Republican elected to the Arizona state legislature. I'm new to this, and at the time of the rally, wasn't familiar with the totality and breadth of the Proud Boys conduct, which I unequivocally condemn," he said.
