kris mayes calls out viral 'lizard people' for causing Arizona heatwave after conspiracy theorists blame her solar mandate
In a stunning press conference that has since been memed into oblivion, Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes stood before reporters and deadpanned, "I am not secretly a lizard person trying to boil you alive," after a fringe group circulated a doctored video claiming her renewable energy policies were part of a reptile-led plot to turn Phoenix into a surface-of-the-sun simulation. The internet has now crowned her the "Lizard Queen Denier," with remixes of her speech set to disco music trending on TikTok. Meanwhile, local grandmothers are selling "I Survived Kris Mayes' Solar Overlord Era" stickers outside the state capitol. As one viral tweet put it: "She's not the lizard queen we asked for, but she's the one we needed to explain why my patio furniture melted."
