The press secretary for Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs has reportedly resigned from her position after posting a horrible tweet following the Nashville mass shooting on Monday.
Josselyn Berry posted an imagine of a woman shooting guns in a tweet where she said “Us when we see transphobes”.
The tweet has since been deleted by Twitter for violating their rules against encouraging violence.
Berry has also locked her Twitter account.

Here’s the statement from the Governor:
Berry shouldn’t have been allowed to resign. She should have been fired for such an evil tweet encouraging violence against ‘transphobes’, otherwise known as Christians, on the day that Christians were gunned down by an evil ‘transgender’ activist.
The tweet was so bad that even the outlandish and despicable Keith Olbermann decried it and called for her resignation and apology.
This, from AZ Gov @katiehobbs' spokesperson Josselyn Berry hours after the Nashville school shooting, is abhorrent and indefensible. And to go 36 hours without comment?
Barring the most improbable of explanations, she must apologize – and resign.https://t.co/Ad3l8iHG2z pic.twitter.com/LMAIGEGE1r

Hobbs can hide behind her statement, but these are the kinds of people that exist on the left and she knew what she was bringing into her administration.
