Copper State Chaos: The Week Andy Biggs’ Record Caught Up With Him

Welcome to Copper State Chaos, Copper State War Room's weekly recap of the extremism, chaos, and out-of-touch agenda Andy Biggs is bringing to the general election. 

This week, Andy Biggs once again showed Arizonans exactly who he is—and why he can't be trusted to put Arizona first. On Tuesday night, after the Arizona Police Association's Public Safety Policy Forum, Biggs was confronted on his extremist record — and what followed was an unmitigated disaster. 

Don’t miss this week’s chaos:

HE KNEW: Biggs confirmed he knew about the sexual abuse happening in Colorado City at the time, saying, "I was the Senate President. I knew what was going on."  Still, as Senate President he blocked bipartisan legislation that would've protected underage girls from sexual abuse and forced child marriage under Warren Jeffs, a convicted child rapist and cult leader. The admission came hours after the release of "Red Line," a mini-documentary featuring survivor testimony and news footage on his failure to act.

TRIPLING DOWN: Biggs was then asked about his 2005 vote against tougher penalties for spousal rape — and tripled down on it, at one point asking, “Can you tell me how many charges of spousal rape have we had?” before getting into a verbal altercation with 12News' Brahm Resnik. The bipartisan bill he opposed passed 52-5, making his vote a clear outlier even among his own Republican colleagues. It's not the first time he's refused to answer for his vote: back in October 2025, he dismissed the same question as "political meat," claiming "nobody is asking me about that."

THE INTERNET IS FOREVER: Andy Biggs was asked to respond to his documented support for pardoning January 6 defendants, and called it an "absolute lie," insisting he never commented on pardons at all. There was just one problem: he continuously tweeted his support for pardoning January 6 insurrectionists, previously joined extremist lawmakers to tour the D.C. jail to protest their detention, and was later reported to have waited outside the jail as pardoned defendants were released. His lies about his role in January 6 were so egregious that hosts on this week's KTAR Faceoff mocked Biggs on air, saying, "The internet is forever."

That’s all for Copper State Chaos this week. Biggs can try to run from his record, but he can't hide. Copper State War Room will keep the receipts. Thanks for reading – we’ll be back next week to keep tabs on the chaos. Have a great weekend!
