Maricopa County Supervisor Bill Gates has been moved to an “undisclosed” location for protection amid safety fears over blowback linked to losers in the midterm elections in Arizona, a local Fox station reported Sunday.

 

Deputies from the county sheriff’s office have been assigned to guard him in the wake of increasingly disturbing criticism online and in person, according to Fox 10 in Phoenix.

 

Gates confirmed to the station that he was moved “for his own safety,” the station reported.
