AZ Gov's press secretary "resigns" after being outed by a pro-violence tweet against "transphobes"

After being ratioed on Twitter, the press secretary for Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs (D) no longer has a job. The Urban Dictionary defines ratioed as when "a reply to a tweet gets more likes than the tweet it was replying to, usually indicating the unpopularity or stupidity of the original tweet."

Hobbs' press secretary Josselyn Berry tweeted just hours after the 28-year-old woman with gender dysphoria opened fire at the Covenant School in Nashville. The post by Berry suggested that people who are "transphobic" [a word invented by the left to stop all discussion about transgender people grooming children, for example] should be shot. 

Well, on Wednesday Berry resigned.

Berry's tweet included a GIF of the late Gena Rowlands in a scene from the movie "Gloria," where she is pointing two revolver handguns.

Arizona GOPers correctly accused Berry of inciting violence and called on Hobbs to fire her.

"Calling for violence is NEVER acceptable," the Arizona Freedom Caucus tweeted. "@GovernorHobbs Press Sec. tweeting about shooting political opponents on the same day a trans activist shoots up a school is nothing short of vile & heartless. There is no room for this in AZ Fire @joss_berry Now"

Arizona state Rep. Austin Smith tweeted, "Fire @joss_berry. Calling for violence from the 9th floor is beneath the office she is supposed to serve."

"Please contact @katiehobbs' office and respectfully demand that she fire her press secretary, Josselyn Berry, who posted an inciteful [sic] meme calling for the murder of transphobes," tweeted Arizona Women of Action. "Pray for a peaceful resolution."

The offending post from Berry, a Democratic operative and spokesperson for Hobbs, was later removed from Twitter for violating the site’s rules against inciting violence.

"The Governor does not condone violence in any form. This administration holds mutual respect at the forefront of how we engage with one another. The post by the Press Secretary is not reflective of the values of the administration. The Governor has received and accepted the resignation of the Press Secretary," the governor's office told ABC15 in a statement.

Somehow it has become acceptable to some on the Left to incite violence on those with different opinions, especially the religious right.
