The House Ethics Committee will not investigate an ethics complaint by Democratic leaders against Kingman Republican John Gillette, after he called Muslims “f***ing savages” and posted a series of Islamophobic comments on social media calling members of the faith “terrorists” from “sh*t hole countries” intent on destroying America. House Ethics Committee Chairman Lupe Diaz, R-Benson, said he would not be taking the matter further and claimed that Democratic leaders were “weaponizing” the House Ethics complaint process. Diaz has not responded to multiple requests for comment about Gillette’s comments or the ethics complaint from the Arizona Mirror. Since the beginning of September, Gillette has made a series of posts on X, formerly Twitter, aimed at the Muslim faith. Lacking any courage, House Ethics Committee Chair sidesteps complaint against Rep. John Gillette for his vile and dehumanizing comments about Muslim Americans,” House Democrats posted on X.
