Phoenix New Times broke the story on Aug. 6, and the internet lost its collective marbles at one of the most ridiculous displays of political hypocrisy in recent memory. As one X user wrote, “Satire is dead.”
Appearing on a little-known podcast in August 2024, the younger Biggs made several unprompted statements about how women belong in the home and shouldn’t hold office.
“Honestly, I don’t know if I would vote for any female. I don’t know if females should be in office,” Biggs said. She later added: "I don’t think women should hold office in general. That’s my position. That’s my stance. I think women should run the home.”
Biggs did not reply to a request for comment from New Times.
The aspiring nepo baby is running for the seat being vacated by Arizona Senate President Warren Petersen, who is running for attorney general. Biggs is running on a slate with Legislative District 14 state Reps. Khyl Powell and Laurin Hendrix.
New Times’ original story received widespread attention on social media. Here are some of our favorite reactions.
