JD took a job. He needed to support his wife and kids since John McCain and his minions gerririgged his district in order to get rid of him because he opposed amnesty. Would McCain have liked it better if JD had collected unemployment while he was looking for a job. Taking an honorable announcers gig sounds perfectly OK to me.
I have no use for McCain, but JD Hayworth is no hero, and this was not an “honorable announcers gig.”
He lent his credibility as a former Congressman to a couple of scam artists who lie to people for $1,000 a pop.
And during his part of the schlocky video, Hayworth made it sound like these grants are available to just any individual who wants to “invest in yourself.”
This information about federal grants is public, and this outfit was selling snake oil. There’s nothing honorable about facilitating a rip-off.
If I lived in Arizona, I’d still pull the lever for Hayworth, but that doesn’t mean I approve of what he did. If he’s smart, he’ll get this race back focused on issues.
