Arizona GOP Senate candidate Blake Masters was fiercely rebuked in an open letter penned by former teachers and classmates, along with other alumni from his school.

The Donald Trump-backed Masters “will lead Arizona down a dark, dystopian path” if he wins election in November, the alumni of Green Fields Country Day School in Tuscon warned in the letter shared by the Arizona Mirror on Thursday.

“He peddles extremist ideology — attacking veterans, calling abortion ‘demonic,’ being endorsed by Neo-Nazis, blaming gun violence on ‘Black people, frankly,’ and that’s just the tip of the iceberg,” they wrote.

Masters is now “barely recognizable” from his time at the school, the letter that was signed by 75 people continued, recalling he was “kind.”

“We are deeply grieved to see the Blake we knew for two decades become the dangerous politician he is today,” they added. “We cannot sit idly by while his dishonesty, his selfishness, and his hateful, divisive rhetoric become the voice of Arizona in the U. S. Senate.”

Masters was endorsed by Trump in the primary and is now facing current Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.). Previously, the best man at Masters’ wedding condemned his rhetoric.

How Did the Blake Masters We Knew Turn His Back on His Community?

To: Our fellow Arizonans
From: Blake Masters’ former classmates, teachers, and Green Fields alumni

In early summer of 2004, twenty-four students walked across the stage at Green Fields Country Day on high school graduation day. One of them was Blake Masters. All of us crossed that same stage at some point, many of us alongside Blake. Green Fields was known in Tucson for cultivating inquisitive, insightful, tolerant, and independent young minds, and it will always hold a special place in our hearts.

Unfortunately, our school is now known less for the lessons it instilled in us, and more for the man currently running for Senate in Arizona.

The Blake we knew was a bright teenager ready to debate but never one to cross the line. Blake was always ambitious, but he was also kind. The Blake we see today is barely recognizable. He peddles extremist ideology — attacking veterans, calling abortion “demonic,” being endorsed by Neo-Nazis, blaming gun violence on “Black people, frankly,” and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. He also belittles those who don’t share his views, and it’s clear Blake will lead Arizona down a dark, dystopian path. He is a man who gave up everything — his friends, his community, his values, and his integrity — all in pursuit of power, position, and prestige.

Green Fields was a tight-knit community of voracious students, highly involved parents, and dedicated teachers — all fully invested in bettering Arizona and our world.

We are deeply grieved to see the Blake we knew for two decades become the dangerous politician he is today. He is beholden to a power-hungry billionaire and his radical ideology. He wants to outlaw abortion nationally, privatize Social Security, and rip away the fundamental rights of others — women, people of color, and members of the LGBTQ community.

To be clear, we never expected to write a letter to our home state telling our friends, our neighbors, our community — anyone who would read it — not to elect our former classmate, our former student, our former friend. But here we are. Given the stakes, we could not sit on the sidelines.

With just several weeks until Election Day in Arizona, it has become painstakingly clear how close this election is. And in the face of this existential threat to our state, we had to speak up. We cannot sit idly by while his dishonesty, his selfishness, and his hateful, divisive rhetoric become the voice of Arizona in the U. S. Senate. The person Blake has become represents an unprincipled rejection of the way we all grew up in Arizona, and at Green Fields.

His threat reaches beyond a single school, beyond a single city — it jeopardizes every Arizonan. We owe it to Arizona not to elect Blake Masters.

To Blake: If you’re reading this, even though you have abandoned our values, we will not let you diminish our community. We will continue standing together, without you.

Signed, Blake Masters’ former classmates, teachers, and Green Fields alumni

How Did the Blake Masters We Knew Turn His Back on His Community?

I can answer that. It started with his exposure to CONSERVATIVE MEDIA, most likely conservative hate radio to begin down that road. They groom their audience into their cult by demonizing what their FUNDERS consider their enemy aka Liberals, Leftists, Democrats, Minorities, etc. Those wealthy elite FUNDERS have created a vast network, a smooth flowing organization of advocacy groups, lobbyists, think tanks, conservative foundations, and PR firms to do their dirty work. The conservative cult they created is their front lines and triggered into the voting booth to pick carefully selected and funded politicians. Those politicians in turn do the bidding of their FUNDERS by implementing their think tank written legislation (usually large tax cuts, subsidies to the wealthy, deregulations, trickle up economics and other Libertarian nonsense). Blake Masters is FUNDED by American oligarch Peter Thiel the disruption-preaching power broker who is just another rich guy desperate to keep his fortune from the IRS. The man belongs to the cult of Libertarianism, the parent cult of today's modern conservatism. Go online and read the following; Origins of the Overclass, The Powell Memorandum, Building and Nurturing A Movement...for starters.
