“Doc Contrail” is a slander.
That said, Ward’s comments about McCain have NOT helped her any. I voted for her, but I was very disappointed in her comments. It is not the sort of things one says if you wish to WIN in Arizona.
You need to be a good “politician” to win at this level of competition. To include sugar-coating things regardless of how you feel inside. The AZ media and the Cheap Labor Express won’t cut you ANY slack. You don’t need to hand them ammo...and show them your foot!
That’s all narrative shaping, just like with Trump. She didn’t say half that garbage and what she said about McCain way back when — that he should resign and turn his seat over to someone who can do the job — was 100% correct. The fraud they’ve run on the people of AZ for the last many months was disgraceful. No picture of McCain exists after mid March 2018 and no audio or video since December.
McCain is hated in AZ by most Rs and all conservatives.
The truth is not slander. She was stupid enough to get involved in the contrail controversy,Defended it actually, then dissembled about it when it became purely embarrassing to me, she’s a total idiot.
