If the Devil Went Down to Arizona

Arizona. The Grand Canyon State. A Satan-Free Zone.
A New Stateline Sign, IF Senator Jake Hoffman Gets His Way

A MAGA Republican Wants to Keep Satan at Bay

While Georgia apparently welcomes the Devil – or, at least, did so in 1979 – Jake Hoffman wants to make sure he is not welcome in Arizona. Or should that be “she?” It? I skipped “Devil’s pronoun day” in parochial school.

Charlie Daniels sang in 1979, “The Devil went down to Georgia; he was looking for a soul to steal.” Apparently, no one stopped him. He wandered about freely until he met a young fiddle-player named Johnny and challenged him to a fiddle contest. Johnny bested the Beast, who surrendered his fiddle and slunk back to Hell.

Jake Hoffman wants to be Second Fiddle. He wants to play the Devil out of Arizona.
