Andy Biggs QUADRUPLES Down on Vote Against Tougher Spousal Rape Penalties
10/1/26, 3:00 PM
Andy Biggs was asked again on Tuesday about his 2005 vote against toughening the penalty for spousal rape — and quadrupled down on it, saying, “I read the bill. I understood the constitutionality of it.” The bipartisan bill that he opposed passed 52-5, making his vote a clear outlier even among his own party.
This is not the first time Biggs has been confronted on the issue: last month, he tripled down on the same vote and asked, “Can you tell me how many charges of spousal rape have we had?” while getting into a verbal altercation with 12News' Brahm Resnik. In October 2025, he doubled down on the same vote, dismissing the question as "political meat" and claiming "nobody is asking me about that."
Biggs’ decades-long history of siding with predators over their victims is coming under intense scrutiny, most notably as Arizona Senate president, when he blocked bipartisan legislation that would have protected underage girls from sexual abuse and forced child marriage in a corrupt pedophile cult run by Warren Jeffs in Colorado City, Arizona. He was also one of only two members who voted against releasing the Epstein Files in committee, later dismissing accountability as a "gotcha game" and "PR stunt."
Copper State Victory spokesperson Nicholas Simões Machado said:
“Andy Biggs has made his choice clear time and again: predators and abusers over their victims. He keeps doubling, tripling, and now quadrupling down on this decades-long record of siding with criminals, which is why Arizonans can't trust him to put their families first.”
