EXCLU: Last week, Nicole Nogrady, who co-hosted Mark Finchem's fundraiser, commemorated the anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks by claiming on social media that they were staged and calling it 'the day the Deep State took thousands of lives.'
Like many high-profile candidates for office before him, Mark Finchem—the Republican nominee for Arizona secretary of state—headed to California for a fundraiser last weekend.
An ex-actor turned photographer and massage therapist, Nogrady was listed on the public advertisement for the Finchem fundraiser—promoted on his official campaign Twitter account—as a co-host, an honor that typically signals a meaningful level of personal involvement with a campaign. Nogrady once wrote on Facebook that “no one died” in one of the most well-documented and excruciating public tragedies in recent memory. She went on to accuse the bereaved Sandy Hook families of being paid crisis actors.
Sandy Hook was not the only target of Nogrady’s “truther” tendency. In October 2017, weeks after the mass shooting in Las Vegas that killed 60 people and wounded over 400, Nogrady shared articles alleging a “monster cover up” of the event by the FBI. “Your #FalseFlag operations won’t work on the public anymore,” she wrote.
Finchem’s association with Nogrady is just the most recent illustration of his singularly conspiratorial campaign for a powerful office in a key battleground state. The Trump-endorsed state representative, who has a real chance of becoming Arizona’s top election official, is perhaps more personally steeped in the right-wing fever swamps than any other high-profile Republican on the ballot.
