In response to RNC in-house conspiracy theorist and senior counsel Christina Bobb attacking American citizens as “filth” and advocating for a “cleansing,” DNC Rapid Response Director Alex Floyd released the following statement: 

“Christina Bobb spent the aftermath of the 2020 election parroting Donald Trump’s baseless lies about the results, and now four years later she’s echoing Trump’s disgusting rhetoric against American citizens, calling for a ‘cleansing’ to ‘clean out the filth’ just days after Trump called Americans ‘the enemy from within’ and threatened to turn the U.S. military on our own people. This kind of vile, repulsive language has no place in our politics – but it’s become par for the course for Trump and his extreme election denier lackeys who are spending the final weeks of the 2024 campaign pushing dangerous attacks against our democracy and the rule of law.”

NEW: RNC senior counsel Christina Bobb is attacking American citizens as “filth” and calling for a “cleansing,” after Trump has spent the week attacking Americans as “the enemy from within” and threatening to use the military against American citizens.

Bobb: “I think there’s a lot of weird, weird things going on behind the scenes that we probably can’t see. I hope they all break the surface so that we just get this cleansing in our nation and we can clean out the filth.”

Trump: “I think the bigger problem is the enemy from within… totally destroying our country… [I]n terms of Election Day, I think the bigger problem are the people from within. We have some very bad people. We have some sick people, radical left lunatics. And I think they’re the big– and it should be very easily handled by, if necessary, by [the] National Guard, or if really necessary, by the military, because they can’t let that happen.”

Bobb has already been indicted for her role in the 2020 election fake elector scheme and was already a self-described “conspiracy theorist” and a prominent election denier.

New Republic: “The Republican National Committee’s senior counsel for election integrity, Christina Bobb, was arraigned Tuesday at a Maricopa County, Arizona, courthouse, pleading not guilty to charges that she was part of a plan to overturn the 2020 presidential election and keep Donald Trump in the White House.

“Bobb was one of 11 people—two Trump aides and nine Arizona Republicans—who were arraigned, including Trump’s former lawyer Rudolph Giuliani, who was finally served Friday after weeks evading and mocking the Arizona attorney general.”

Washington Post: “LaCivita is installing Christina Bobb — a former OAN reporter who has espoused false claims that the 2020 election was stolen — as senior counsel for election integrity. Bobb is the author of a book called ‘Stealing Your Vote: The Inside Story of the 2020 Election and What It Means for 2024’ and promoted the audit of Arizona elections.”

CNN: “[Bobb] also played a key role in the Trump campaign’s fake electors scheme after he lost the 2020 election, working closely with Trump advisers to organize the plan in seven battleground states. The scheme formed the basis of parts of Smith’s election subversion indictment against the former president, which says Trump and his allies created ‘fraudulent slates of presidential electors to obstruct the certification proceeding’ in Congress on January 6, 2021, and ‘disenfranchise millions of voters.’”

CNN: “Bobb was also a correspondent during the 2020 election for the fringe pro-Trump network OAN, where she promoted false claims that the election was rigged. The voting technology company Dominion sued Bobb and OAN for defamation in 2021. Some of her on-air segments were also referenced in a separate defamation case against OAN filed by Smartmatic, another aggrieved voting company. OAN and Bobb have denied wrongdoing in these civil cases.”

New York Times: “A self-described conspiracy theorist and election denier, Ms. Bobb will take on a role overseeing Republican election integrity efforts — after years of aggressively promoting false claims about the 2020 election. Her appointment reflects the ascendant role of election deniers in Republican leadership and in Mr. Trump’s presidential campaign.”

Media Matters: “Within a two-week span, Christina Bobb, an attorney for former President Donald Trump, has gone on multiple online shows affiliated with the QAnon conspiracy theory movement to promote her new book about supposed election fraud. During her appearances, Bobb has discussed being part of Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign, pushed false claims of election fraud, and floated new conspiracy theories, while calling herself ‘a conspiracy theorist.’

“Bobb, who joined Trump’s legal team last year, was previously an anchor for the far-right One America News Network. While at OAN, Bobb was a prolific spreader of false claims that the 2020 presidential election was rigged, and she financially supported the sham ‘audit’ of ballots cast in 2020 in Maricopa County, Arizona.”
