An Arizona Democrat broadcast a camera mishap live into a meeting of the Pima County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday.
Supervisor Matt Heinz quickly turned off his laptop camera after a half-naked man entered the field of view during the live county meeting.
Heinz regularly appears in county supervisor meetings remotely, citing the fear of exposure to coronavirus despite the fact he works as an emergency room doctor, according to the Arizona Daily Independent.
He has reportedly used Zoom to attend several meetings on board what appear to be cruise ships.
Heinz is also openly gay.
Wow Matt Heinz really has a lot going on during his supervisor meetings https://t.co/oCu8p9G3O7

Former Pima County Supervisor Ally Miller tweeted that she was already shocked by an alleged marijuana incident in a county building, and this video just made her view of the Board of Supervisors worse.
I thought the pot smoking on the 11th floor of Pima County BOS was bad enough. Now we get to view cruise ship activities of the Board of Supervisors. Praying Dr. Heinz doesn’t get covid . @GarretLewis https://t.co/hpQgEoCn1Q

Miller also claimed that Heinz was appearing via teleconference from a cruise ship during the meeting in question.
The other members of the county board did not appear to have reacted to Heinz’s camera mishap, and Heinz reappeared on his live feed seconds after cutting off his camera.
Heinz has not spoken publicly about the incident.
Heinz has frequently advertised his partisan liberal views on his personal Twitter feed, including advocating for abortion and putting down former President Donald Trump.

@RepMcSally, then how do you justify voting with @POTUS Trump's bigoted agenda over 95% of the time? https://t.co/UalpscDs1r

“If people don’t like the abortion laws, then they can contact their legislator, they can contact the governor’s office,” Arizona’s Attorney General told @azcapmedia. In fact we have a more immediate remedy: eject radical/out-of-touch GOP legislators from their seats November 8!
