Arizona is a divided state. There should be at most a few common things that unify people, regardless of political views. Independence Day is one such thing. The Pima County Democratic Party didn’t get it.
The local party is under scrutiny for posting their support of a Tuscon Woman’s March “F*ck The Fourth” event next Monday night.
On their official Twitter page, the local party shared an infographic for the rally, asking people to “bring comfortable shoes, water, lawn chairs, posters, and your anger.”
“Let’s mourn with F*ck the Fourth,” the post states.

This post was up for approximately five hours since Friday morning, and it was removed around 2:15 p.m. Arizona Time.
Users of social media did not hesitate to criticize the event.
“Democrats, please. I’m begging you. Make this your message,” Arizona State House candidate Trey Terry tweeted.
Please Democrats. I’m begging you.

“What the heck is this? This is not a great look. @PimaDems,” Laurie Roberts, a columnist at The Arizona Republic, tweeted. This post may give voters an additional reason to worry about the optics of the Democrats’ upcoming midterm election, which is mainly because of the economy.
Is this really what you want? This is not a great look. @PimaDems. https://t.co/oTyrzAhbFn

Although the far-left might want to raise a middle finger to the celebration of America’s founding, it’s safe to say that there are still plenty of Democrats that observe Independence Day. The state of Arizona and the national party need to hope this is not seen by too many voters in a state as competitive as Arizona.
This is how America moves forward, and the Pima County Democratic Party needs to apologize. It’s one thing if somebody chooses not to celebrate Independence Day; however, it’s extremely divisive when an official local party decides to open despise the celebration of America’s founding.
