Axios: Andy Biggs “no puedo estar realmente en desacuerdo con nada” sobre libros de la Teoría del Gran Reemplazo
9/24/26, 3:30 PM
Un nuevo reportaje de Axios reveló la cuenta de Goodreads que Andy Biggs ha mantenido por años, en la que dejó reseñas de cinco estrellas a una serie de libros preocupantes que retratan a los inmigrantes latinos como criminales y promueven la “Teoría del Gran Reemplazo”, la teoría conspirativa de la supremacía blanca que sostiene que las sociedades occidentales están siendo reemplazadas deliberadamente por inmigrantes no blancos. En una de sus reseñas, Biggs afirmó que “no puedo estar realmente en desacuerdo con nada” en el libro.
La campaña de Biggs “ni negó ni confirmó” que la cuenta le perteneciera, y “no respondió a preguntas sobre las reseñas ni los argumentos de los libros”.
Es la señal más reciente de lo que su propio partido ha advertido sobre Biggs: que es demasiado extremista para Arizona. Cuando el Arizona Republic le preguntó por qué Biggs se ha relacionado con supremacistas blancos y antisemitas, su campaña “no respondió a la pregunta”. Cuando le pidieron que explicara su admiración por el general confederado Robert E. Lee, Biggs se negó a comentar frente a las cámaras.
El portavoz de Copper State Victory, Nicholas Simões Machado, declaró:
“Los elogios de Andy Biggs a libros que difaman a los inmigrantes latinos como criminales son la prueba más reciente de su extremismo. Las familias latinas de Arizona merecen algo mejor que un político que insulta a nuestras familias, no rinde cuentas por su historial y sigue votando para subir el costo de los alimentos, la gasolina y la atención médica.”
Axios Phoenix: Scoop: Biggs left positive reviews of Islamophobic and anti-immigrant books

A Goodreads account seeming to belong to GOP nominee for governor Rep. Andy Biggs left positive reviews for books that argue the growth of Muslim and Latin American populations threaten predominantly white Western societies.
Why it matters: The apparent endorsements of books promoting extreme anti-immigrant views come as Biggs — one of the most conservative members of Congress — seeks to project a more moderate image in his race to unseat Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs.
Following an inquiry from Axios, the Biggs campaign neither denied nor confirmed that the Goodreads account is his. The campaign didn't answer questions about the reviews and the books' arguments.
State of play: Biggs' account on the book-tracking site shows roughly 1,400 books he's logged, rated and reviewed since 2009.
His profile — which follows an account appearing to belong to his daughter, Mylie — was still public as of Tuesday afternoon.
Among his logged books are Mark Steyn's "America Alone: The End of the World as We Know It," and "¡Adios, America! The Left's Plan to Turn our Country into a Third World Hellhole," by Ann Coulter.
Zoom in: Steyn's 2006 book argues that declining birth rates among white people coupled with Muslim immigration and population growth would eradicate Western society, particularly in Europe.
Biggs, then a state legislator, logged the book on his account in 2009, giving it five stars and writing that "I can't really disagree with anything he says."
Biggs also gave five stars to Coulter's 2015 book, which some credit with inspiring President Trump's anti-immigrant platform in his original run for the White House.
Coulter warned of a similar demographic shift from Latin American immigrants, about whom she made several sweeping derogatory claims.
The book "is packed with statements about 'Latin American rape culture,'" The Atlantic wrote in 2016.
Context: The books echo elements of the "Great Replacement Theory," a far-right conspiracy theory that claims there's a plot to diminish the political influence of white people.
The bottom line: The anti-immigration book reviews could give Biggs' rivals more material to challenge his appeal among moderate voters, after primary opponents criticized him as too extreme.
