Alabama AG Steve Marshall among watchdog group's "Enemies of Progress" list
Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall is one of 13 Republican attorneys general included in a left-leaning watchdog group’s campaign called “Enemies of Progress,” which published Thursday.
“Instead of fighting for their best interests, Attorney General Marshall is spending Alabamians’ taxpayer dollars on frivolous lawsuits against the Biden administration on behalf of his special interest donors,” said Accountable. US President Kyle Herrig in a statement to APR.
“Marshall heads one of the key organizations behind the rally leading to the deadly Capitol riot, and yet pretends he bears no responsibility for the massive damage caused to our democracy that day,” Herrig continued. “Someone at the helm of an organization that incited sedition has no credibility to now sue the government it tried to overthrow. It’s like a burglar suing a homeowner for injuries sustained during a break in.”
The watchdog group’s campaign highlights Marshall’s role as head of the Republican Attorneys General Association’s dark-money fundraising arm, the Rule of Law Defense Fund, which helped promote the Jan. 6 “Stop the Steal” rally, which resulted in the deadly attack on the U.S. Capitol.
