Dem gov’s new campaign message man once said ‘religious right’ united by ‘white supremacy’
The reelection campaign of Governor Katie Hobbs, D-Ariz., has tapped someone with a penchant for slamming white people, despite being white himself.
Hobbs, a vocal progressive and anti-Trump leader, brought Michael Beyer on as her 2026 reelection campaign communications director in April despite his history of going after people because they are white, and not just Republicans either.
A look through Beyer’s X account shows the staffer levying criticism on social media as early as 2014 against a range of demographics, all with one thing in common – they’re white.
TRUMP BACKS REPUBLICAN RIVALS IN ARIZONA GOVERNOR’S RACE AFTER REP. BIGGS ENTERS CONTEST: ‘I HAD A PROBLEM’
Far-left Governor Katie Hobbs, D-Ariz., is raising eyebrows after deciding to hire a campaign spokesperson known for spreading anti-white rhetoric.
Beyer has accused the «religious right» of being united through «a belief in white supremacy,» blasted self-professed democratic socialist Bernie Sanders’ voters for having «white entitlement» and accused Taylor Swift and other «white people» of «romanticizing the conquest of Africa.»
Beyer has also espoused anti-gay rhetoric targeted at gay white Republicans, positing in a social media post about the leader of one of the longest-standing pro-gay GOP nonprofits in the country that it was «unclear» whether he was «just a bunch of twinks standing on top of each other hiding in a trench coat.» In another post, Beyer complained there were too many «white men» in a 1980’s news segment about HIV, while in another Beyer suggested «white suburban voters» in Louisiana «had taken over» the local newspaper.

The Arizona governor’s recent hire is just the latest in a series of tumultuous staffing issues Hobbs has faced as governor. In 2022, it was reported that in just five months two-thirds of Hobbs’ gubernatorial campaign staff left, with several describing their work on the campaign as «emotionally abusive.» Meanwhile, Hobbs has also been forced to fire past employees over inflammatory social media posts.

«White evangelicals are the only group that predominantly wants anti-gay discrimination, poll shows,» Beyer posted on then-Twitter in 2017, along with a link to a blog from Slate. «Once again, it is a belief in white supremacy that unites the Religious Right,» he added in his tweet.
In addition to blaming religious conservatives for being racist, Beyer also said in 2015 that Republicans in general «thinks [sic] they only have to answer to white voters.» In a subsequent post, Beyer slammed Secretary of State Marco Rubio for only appealing to «whites» after allegedly «romanticizing U.S. colonialism.»

Turning to liberals, Beyer has also had choice words for white Bernie Sanders supporters, saying in a 2016 post on Twitter that they all have «white entitlement.» He suggested in another post around the same time that the only reason Sanders won New Hampshire during the 2016 election was because the state is «91% white.»
In 2015, Beyer went after Taylor Swift and other «white people» for «romanticizing» colonialism. «Only white people would be the people romanticizing the conquest of Africa,» Beyer said in a 2015 post, referring to Swift’s song «Wildest Dreams» that debuted around the same time. His post was in response to a separate tweet Beyer posted that included a link and title of a NPR op-ed with the headline: «Taylor Swift Is Dreaming Of A Very White Africa.»

Despite Beyer’s numerous claims suggesting white people are racist, he contended in 2017 that «white people are very bad at identifying racism/racists.»

Fox News Digital reached out to the Hobbs campaign to question whether it would be reconsidering its decision to hire Beyer, but never received a response.
Beyer himself did not respond when reached for comment, either.
In addition to Beyer, Hobbs has a history of hiring other staffers who have made controversial remarks on social media. She has also had an issue with high turnover in her office.

One of Hobbs’ former press secretaries was fired in 2023 after posting an image of a lady drawing two pistols from her hip, which included the caption «Us when we see transphobes.» The social media post came the same day a gender-confused individual opened fire at an elementary school in Nashville, after which some critics cited the person’s gender dysphoria as a possible catalyst for the horrific event.
Hobbs’ office has also been impacted frequently by an unusually high turnover rate among her staff. In 2022, it was reported that two-thirds of Hobbs’ gubernatorial campaign staff left across a period of just five months, with some of the departing staff describing their work on the campaign as «emotionally abusive.»
The culture was apparently so bad, the staffers said, they had to upend their lives mid-election to seek employment elsewhere.

Hobbs has lost staffers in the middle of ongoing legislative sessions, and, in 2023, Hobbs’ legislative director resigned just hours before the release of the state’s budget.
At least one of Hobbs’ staffers went from their job on her campaign to another job with Arizona politics.

Inauguró la Librería Feltrinelli en Montevideo: cómo pensar la cultura en tiempos de cambio
La librería Feltrinelli abrió sus puertas en Montevideo, marcando la llegada de la mayor cadena italiana de librerías a Sudamérica y el debut de la marca fuera de Europa.
El espacio, ubicado en el histórico edificio Pablo Ferrando sobre la peatonal Sarandí, ofrece más de 60.000 títulos distribuidos en dos plantas y 650 metros cuadrados, junto a una cafetería y una agenda de eventos culturales permanentes.
La inauguración oficial se realizó el sábado 28 de febrero con la presencia de autores locales, figuras de la comunidad literaria, representantes de la colectividad italiana y autoridades tanto uruguayas como italianas.
Entre los asistentes se encontraron Carlo Feltrinelli, presidente del grupo editorial, y la poeta uruguaya Ida Vitale, de 102 años, quien fue especialmente homenajeada durante la velada.
Se sumaron también funcionarios del gobierno uruguayo y delegaciones diplomáticas, en un acto que celebró la apertura con música en vivo y discursos que resaltaron el carácter cultural del proyecto.
La apuesta por Montevideo responde, según declaró Eva Congil, consejera delegada del grupo en España, a la combinación de una fuerte tradición lectora, la existencia de socios locales experimentados y la oportunidad de restaurar un edificio emblemático.
Caras y Caretas recogió sus palabras: “Una librería hoy tiene sentido si es algo más que un lugar donde comprar. Son espacios de comunidad”. La propuesta, alineada con el modelo italiano, ofrece una cafetería, actividades culturales y una selección de títulos en español, inglés e italiano, así como vinilos y artículos culturales.
El edificio Pablo Ferrando fue sometido a un proceso de restauración que preservó elementos originales como la escalera de mármol, los vitrales y el reloj de la fachada. Se trata de una construcción patrimonial de grado cuatro y cuenta con el ascensor en funcionamiento más antiguo de Uruguay.
El espacio funcionó durante quince años como la librería Puro Verso y ahora alberga la primera sede latinoamericana de Feltrinelli, tras una alianza con los libreros Alejandro Lagazeta, Juan Castillo y Pablo Braun.
En cuanto a la oferta, la Feltrinelli de Montevideo cuenta con secciones de narrativa, ensayo, poesía, literatura infantil y una propuesta internacional que incluye un área específica para libros en lengua italiana.
Se implementó un sistema de mesas temáticas que se renuevan cada dos semanas, con foco inicial en ecología, género, feminismos y literatura uruguaya. La agenda cultural prevé presentaciones de libros, mesas redondas y música en vivo, consolidando el lugar como un nodo cultural y de encuentro para la ciudad.
La historia de Feltrinelli se extiende por más de setenta años. Fundada en 1954 por Giangiacomo Feltrinelli, la editorial fue pionera en la publicación de autores latinoamericanos en Europa y editó títulos de referencia como Cien años de soledad de Gabriel García Márquez y el Diario del Che en Bolivia de Ernesto Che Guevara.
Actualmente, el grupo gestiona más de 120 librerías en Italia y mantiene una política de fuerte compromiso cultural, a la que ahora incorpora su presencia en América Latina.
El desembarco en Montevideo se plantea como un “primer experimento” en la región, según palabras de Carlo Feltrinelli a El Observador. La apuesta se sustenta en el dinamismo del ecosistema editorial uruguayo, la cercanía cultural entre Italia y Uruguay y la convicción de que, incluso en la era digital, los libros pueden seguir generando comunidad.
La librería, explicaron sus impulsores a Infobae Cultura, busca ser un espacio abierto a la diversidad, el debate y la participación, con el objetivo de renovar el vínculo entre lectores y libros en un contexto de transformación tecnológica y de consumo cultural.

A Russian man convicted of assaulting a woman in London in an attack witnessed by Barron Trump, President Donald Trump’s youngest son, on a video call was sentenced to four years in prison by a London court on Friday.
Matvei Rumiantsev, 23, an MMA fighter, was convicted by a jury on Jan. 28 of assault with bodily harm but was acquitted of rape and choking charges. He was also convicted of perverting the course of justice stemming from a letter he sent the woman a letter from jail asking her to retract her allegations.
After the assault, Rumiantsev admitted he was jealous of his girlfriend’s friendship with the 19-year-old son of President Donald Trump.

«Your lack of insight and empathy was apparent at trial,» Justice Joel Bennathan said. «You continue to try to blame the complainant for everything that has happened.»
Trump told investigators he had placed a late-night FaceTime call to the woman, whom he had met on social media, and had been startled when the call had been briefly answered by a shirtless man on Jan. 18, 2025.
«That view lasted maybe one second and I was racing with adrenaline,» Barron Trump said. «The camera was then flipped to the victim getting hit while crying, stating something in Russian.»

Barron Trump called the police in London.
«It’s really an emergency … I’m calling from the U.S., uh, I just got a call from a girl, you know, she’s getting beat up,» he told an operator.
Police responded to the address and arrested Rumiantsev, a London-based receptionist.
At his trial at Snaresbrook Crown Court, Rumiantsev was acquitted of rape and choking related to the attack, as well as a separate rape and assault allegation from November 2024.
His attorney, Sasha Wass, said that Trump wasn’t aware the woman had a boyfriend and questioned how much he could have seen in just a few seconds of video.

Trump never testified in the case. However, the judge praised him for his quick-thinking actions.
«Mr, Trump properly and responsibly, despite being in the United States, made sure the emergency services here were called, and he told them what he had seen,» he said.
