Bowers summed up the attempt to surround him and send fake Arizona voters to Washington as a “tragic parody” and recounted how people turned against him as Trump continued to support the “big lie.” “It’s painful to have friends who have helped me so much to turn me on with such resentment,” he said. “In the eyes of men, I may not have the right views or act according to their vision or beliefs, but I do not face this current situation in a light, fearful or vindictive way.” “I do not want to be a winner by cheating,” he added. “I will not play by the laws in which I swear allegiance with any imaginary desire to divert my deep, fundamental desire to follow the will of God, as I believe He let my conscience embrace me. How else will I ever approach Him in the wilderness of life? knowing that I am asking His guidance only to show cowardice in defending the path that led me. “ He mentioned the threats around his home and how upset his daughter, Kacey Rae Bowers, who was seriously ill at the time, was. He died at the age of 42, a few days after the attack on the Capitol, on January 28, 2021.
