BREAKING: Trump targets Biden, Democrats and 2020 election at packed Phoenix rally

Trump took the stage at the Phoenix-based Turning Point Action event with extra flair to thunderous applause and chants of "USA!" Conservative activist Charlie Kirk's introduction of Trump was accompanied by a patriotic-themed chyron.

"Like it or not, we're becoming a communist country. That's what's happening," Trump said of the direction America is heading led by the Biden presidency.

"The radical left is determined to ruin everything in America. That's what they're doing. Woke politics takes the life and joy out of everything," Trump said of the far-left agenda being pushed in every sector. "Wokeism makes you lose, ruins your mind, and ruins you as a person. You become warped. You become demented."

"Let me tell you—you're not going to have a future," Trump said. "First of all, our nation is being destroyed. But you're not going to have a future in '22 or '24 if you don't find out how they cheated with hundreds of thousands and even millions of votes, because you won't win anything. You won't win anything."

Trump called the 2020 race the "most corrupt, dishonest, and unfair election in the history of our country," saying that he, the Democrats, the establishment media, Big Tech, and "we, the American people, know it."

Trump nodded right away to the ongoing Maricopa County ballot review while he laid out his grievances with the results of the 2020 election in Arizona. The packed house exploded when Trump made his case that the presidential race was "rigged."

"What was the difference between 2016 and 2020?" Trump questioned Arizona results mid-speech. "The difference was I did much better in 2020."

Trump eviscerated Gov. Doug Ducey in the Arizona leader's home state, blasting that "he wasn't very popular" and "now he's not popular with me."

"I'm going to follow the law […] I've sworn an oath to uphold it, and I take my responsibility seriously," Ducey defended himself against Trump's attacks for certifying Biden's win in the state. The governor further alleged that the widespread election fraud concerns that exist elsewhere don't occur in Arizona.

Ducey touted Arizona's election system, stating that his stomping grounds has "the strongest election laws in the country" that "prioritize accountability" lay out procedures for conducting, canvassing, and contesting the results of an election.

The governor vetoed a slew of bills in late May, insisting that he won't sign anything until the legislature passes a budget. GOP members in Arizona lashed out over Ducey's move hindering the passage of legislation that would have banned divisive critical race theory training of government workers and another bill that would have prohibited mass mailing of unsolicited ballots to voters in the state.

"The other stuff can wait," Ducey tweeted, calling the budget "priority one."

"We're gathered here in Phoenix to show our support for election integrity and for the brave and unyielding conservative warriors in the Arizona State Senate—thank you," Trump said. "They've created a movement all over the country."

Others who arrived at the Arizona Federal Theatre included most of the Republican contenders competing in the 2022 Arizona gubernatorial and Senate primary races. Ahead of the scheduled rally, Trump also took aim at an Arizona senator who has been critical of the Trump-inspired election audit.

Trump issued a news release Thursday criticizing GOP Sen. Paul Boyer who he called "a RINO if there ever was one" for doing "everything in his power to hold up the damning Forensic Audit of Maricopa County."

"The people of Arizona are demanding it. Boyer has been nothing but trouble, and nobody knows why. All we demand is Voter Integrity!" the former president wrote, noting that Boyer is being "primaried" by former Arizona state Rep. Anthony Kern.

To which, Boyer tweeted in response, "Had Trump built the wall like he promised, perhaps he could've prevented the 40k #BambooBallots from being imported into Arizona." The Republican senator further claimed that the former commander-in-chief incited the Jan. 6 "insurrection" in the nation's capitol.

The effort at the state fairgrounds is entering its fourth month, and the initial hand count of almost 2.1 million Maricopa County ballots has been completed by the GOP-led Senate's contractor, the Cyber Ninjas, according to The Arizona Central.

Boyer said he had no idea what inspired the former president's comments, maintaining that he is not holding up the audit as Trump charged. "I've always been a supporter of a legitimate audit," he told The Republic. "This is illegitimate." Boyer said the audit is playing out as a misdirected, partisan effort.

Senate president Karen Fann noted that Boyer declined to vote for a resolution that would hold officials in Maricopa County in contempt for refusing to provide auditors election materials. Boyer replied, "Had you told us it was an inexperienced, partisan firm, I wouldn't have been the only one to object."

Before the planned post-presidency visit, Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs urged Trump to "accept" the electoral loss, get over 2020, and "move on."
