After it became evident that their chosen candidate, Rep. Martha McSally, is not the favorite of Republicans in the U.S. Senate Primary race, the establishment stepped up in late July to cover the costs of McSally’s latest misleading ad campaign.
In those ads, funded by the DefendArizona PAC, McSally attempts to portray herself the pro-Trump, secure borders candidate while portraying conservative candidate, Dr. Kelli Ward, as pro-amnesty, soft-on-ISIS democrat.
From used car salesman, Jim Click, to the private prison corporation, Services Group Of America, the deepest pockets in the state are funding the McSally campaign.
Watching the Never Trump Establishment trying to stop Trump’s agenda is similar to watching an old Keystone Cops’ movie as they fall over themselves and now they are falling over themselves to stop Kelli Ward, according to one politico.
In fact, the Defend Arizona commercials lose credibility when fact checked. Anyone who has heard Ward on the issues, knows she speaks of “restraint and realism” for overall foreign policy, not combating terrorism as the ads would have you believe.
When Kelli Ward tweeted this on Tuesday, the Arizona mainstream media was quick to attack.
Ward said Tuesday that U.S. Sens. John McCain and Jeff Flake’s lack of “leadership” and “courage” was partly to blame for the death of an Iowa girl whom authorities say was killed by an undocumented immigrant.

What seems to have been missed by Ms. Yvonne Wingett Sanchez at Arizona Republic is that a majority of Arizonans believe our elected officials should be held accountable and do hold them partially responsible for these senseless deaths of our children.
We do need true leadership in the Senate to #BuildTheWall and secure our borders.
Like President Trump, Ward has campaigned largely on her views of stringent enforcement of our laws in her bid for the Republican nomination.
