6 rebuttal in Arizona, home to ground zero in the “stop the steal” movement’s fraudulent push to find evidence that the 2020 election was rigged.

Former President Donald Trump tosses a hat to the crowd as he arrives to speak at a Save America Rally on Saturday, Jan.

Former President Donald Trump kicked off his first midterm-year rally in Arizona — a state to watch in 2022 — still laser focused on the presidential race he lost and the politicians that supported or thwarted his efforts to overturn the election.

“The fake news and the lamestream media … they refused to talk about it,” Trump said of his false election claims.

If we had an honest press, the election would have been much different,” Trump said, spreading more falsehoods about the election he lost by over 7 million votes.

The state is home to ground zero in the “stop the steal” movement’s push to find evidence that the 2020 election was stolen from the former president.

Debbie Lesko, Andy Biggs and Paul Gosar warmed up the crowd for Trump, attacking Biden and fueling election falsehoods.

The crowd cheered as a Republican state senator called for the state's election results to be decertified.

Saturday’s rally is the second time Trump has put the spotlight on Arizona since leaving office, another sign of the state’s importance as Republicans look to take back both the House and Senate.

In Arizona, Trump has endorsed Kari Lake, a former news anchor who says she wouldn’t have certified the 2020 election, for governor.

Trump didn’t make any endorsements during his rally on Saturday, though he invited Lake on stage and piled on more criticism of Ducey, who he blasted in a statement late Friday over his certifying of Arizona's election results.
