Katie Hobbs is running against Republican Keri Lake in Arizona for the Governor’s position. Hobbs has found herself in a pickle after running her mouth to hidden cameras that she doesn’t like disguising politics with people she ‘doesn’t know’. It must be true because Hobbs has yet to debate Lake, despite multiple invitations.
A representative with the activist group Project Veritas Action (PVA), known for its hidden camera stings, approached Hobbs, the Democratic nominee to be the next governor of Arizona, while she appeared to be eating outside at a restaurant. After PVA press secretary R.C. Maxwell introduced himself, Hobbs immediately made to leave, knocking her drink over in the process.
Maxwell attempted to question Hobbs about statements she and her staff made during PVA hidden camera stings against the Hobbs campaign.
“Secretary Hobbs?” Maxwell asked, walking up to Hobbs.
“Oh my God,” an apparently surprised Hobbs said.
“How’s it going? Didn’t mean to scare you there,” Maxwell said before introducing himself. “I want to ask you a brief question about …”
Hobbs interjected,” You have a great day,” then got up and spilled her drink before leaving the outdoor dining area. Maxwell followed.
“I just wanted to ask you about some comments you’ve made on undercover footage regarding having a disdain for discussing politics, ma’am,” Maxwell said. He was referencing an undercover video that shows Hobbs recounting a story about how she refused to talk about her job with an Uber driver because she did not want to discuss politics with “anyone who I don’t know.”
Hobbs began walking down the street refusing to answer Maxwell’s continued questions. A later clip showed her walking into a restaurant bathroom to escape the confrontation with Maxwell. Someone familiar to Hobbs later came and escorted her past Maxwell and out of the restaurant to a car waiting in the parking lot.
In the video, you hear Maxwell recognize a man who supposedly came to rescue Hobbs. This man was Joe Wolf who serves as the Hobbs Campaign’s Head Political Consultant. When Maxwell confronts Wolf, he hides in the other restroom.

The problem with Hobbs’s unwillingness to discuss politics is she lacks any platform, whatsoever. As a person going into politics, an unwillingness to discuss your positions is a handicap- to say the least!
Watching these two hide in the bathroom to avoid answering the simplest of questions was hilarious, but on a serious note—Voters need to pay attention. Most of these Democrats are running on party affiliation alone and have no real plans for their states.
