Axios: Andy Biggs “Can't Really Disagree With Anything” on Great Replacement Theory Books

New reporting by Axios has uncovered Andy Biggs’ longtime Goodreads account, where Biggs left five-star reviews on a series of troubling books that paint Latino immigrants as criminals and promote the "Great Replacement Theory," the white nationalist conspiracy that claims Western societies are being deliberately replaced with non-white immigrants. One of Biggs’ reviews stated that he "can't really disagree with anything” in the book.

Biggs’ campaign “neither denied nor confirmed” the account belonged to him, and “didn't answer questions about the reviews and the books' arguments.”

It's the latest sign of what Biggs' own party has warned: he is too extreme for Arizona. When the Arizona Republic asked why Biggs associated with white supremacists and antisemites, his campaign "did not answer a question" about it. When asked to explain his admiration for Confederate General Robert E. Lee, Biggs declined to comment on camera.

Copper State Victory spokesperson Nicholas Simões Machado said:

“Andy Biggs' praise for books that smear Latino immigrants as criminals is only the latest proof of his extremism. Arizona's Latino families deserve better than a politician who insults our families, won't answer for his record, and keeps voting to raise the cost of groceries, gas, and healthcare."

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.
