Blake Masters Scorches Mark Kelly in Debate Over Border Crisis

“When Democrats are wrong, like on the border, I call them out on it, because I’m always going to stick up for Arizona,” Kelly claimed, though his record contradicts that statement.

“I’ve been focused on the border since day one on this job,” Kelly claimed later in the debate. “I’m down there all the time. I was on the phone this week, just, you know—with Mayor Nicholls of Yuma, Sheriff Dannels of Cochise County—talking about what more we need for Border Patrol and immigration.”

Kelly continued, “We’re working to raise Border Patrol pay by 18%, I’ve got legislation to do that. I’ve been focused on the border since day one.”

“With no great effect,” Masters pointed out, “because we have a wide-open southern border. So if that’s the best you can do, I respectfully request him to resign, and let’s get someone in his seat right who will actually secure our border.”

Last month, Masters was endorsed by the National Border Patrol Council. “[Biden’s] policies also allow the same cartels to control stretches of our border, fueling a drug trade that is killing many of our friends and neighbors, including children,” the National Border Patrol Council said in a statement. “Blake Masters will save lives by ending Biden’s dangerous border policies and keeping organized crime in check.

Truth doesn’t matter to the destroy America bunch

All he needs is a pink wig and he looks like one of those troll dolls. I am amazed no one has brought up Kelly’s role in trying to frame those gun shop owners a few years back. The guy is lower than pond scum and the only way he got this seat is through Dominion machines and voter fraud.

Senator Mark Kelly is a disgusting, lying, tax loving, creepy pedojoe alcolyte who has his nose so far up the DNC kazoo he can see stars at night.

And he's not getting any better looking with time...

Seeing Kelly and Masters on stage together was an attention-getter. Masters is about a foot taller than Kelly. The little Biden backer looks like a child standing next Masters. Not good optics for the commies.

Has Masters been called a racist for this yet?

[plain talk]

No real scorching going on on either side. Bland. Just more of the same.

Most people are sick of these sophomoric debates and hungry for people who will stand out with a unique twist on this stuff. Trump did that. Of course he also had nasty tweets and orange hair and DC would have none of that. :-)

Blake needed this debate bigly and he did awesome in exposing Kelly's lies!

AZ is on a roll. Huge Trump rally tomorrow in Mesa.

The point Masters made was powerful, though, and easy to understand. A version of: "If you can't do your job, we'll get someone who can."

I like it! (I learned a lifelong lesson from it being applied to my excuses when I was just a young pup working in maintenance at a GM assembly plant.)
