On Principles & Values: Urged anti-closure protestors to dress as health workers

The chairwoman of the Arizona Republican Party Dr. Kelli Ward, a former state senator and primary care physician, tweeted that people participating in protests to end the government-imposed closures of regular business should wear scrubs and masks.

"Planning protest to #ReOpenAmerica? EVERYONE wear scrubs & masks--the media doesn't care if you are really in healthcare or not--it's the 'message' that matters," she wrote.

Ward's comments come a few days after she questioned the authenticity of a small group of health care workers in Colorado who counterprotested against people calling for the state to reopen.

"EVEN IF these 'spontaneously' appearing ppl at protests against govt overreach (sporting the same outfits, postures, & facial expressions) ARE involved in healthcare - when they appeared at rallies, they were actors playing parts #Propaganda #FakeOutrage," Ward tweeted last week.
