Democrat Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs requested the social media website formerly known as Twitter to censor critics of her tweet that compared supporters of former President Trump to Nazis.
In August 2017, while serving in the Arizona state legislature, Hobbs attacked Trump in a tweet, when she compared the former president's voter base to neo-Nazis.
"[Trump] has made it abundantly clear he's more interested in pandering to his neo-nazi base than being [president] for all Americans," Hobbs wrote on her campaign

The post had critics online call into question Hobbs' impartiality when administering the election, and, according to emails obtained by Fox News Digital from conservative political organization Arizona Capitol Oversight, Hobbs tried to get Twitter, now known as X, to censor the criticism against her.
On Nov. 13, 2020, Hobbs emailed X — using her official Arizona secretary of state email — asking the support team to take action against her online trolls.
Then-Twitter asked for more information and for Hobbs to provide examples for her request, which Hobbs was unable to provide.
