Arizona state Rep. Bob Thorpe called out Sen. John McCain Saturday for failing to show his constituents respect.
Thorpe said McCains criticism of President Trumps pardon of former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio was unwarranted, given that his predecessor pardoned a record 1,927. Moreover, he argued, Arpaio was convicted of following state and federal laws regarding immigration enforcementObamas pardons on the on the hand included people who revealed national secrets and broke financial fraud laws as well as narcotics laws.
The Arizona Republican said he can forgive McCain for slandering Arpaio by pushing the false narrative that he was found guilty of profiling latinos but not for his failure to protect Americans from those who have not shown respect for the rule of U.S. laws. Thorpe was referring to the Americans murdered at the hands of illegal immigrants such as Kate Steinle and Jamal Shaw.
McCain, Thorpe said, had clearly forgotten his 2016 campaign promise to build the danged fence.
He also called the Republican senator out for another broken campaign promise: repealing Obamacare.
In a melodramatic reversal of his earlier votes, McCain in July condemned the American people to [continue] suffering under unaffordable health insurance premiums and unattainable deductibles, he wrote. Just like his promise to build the danged fence, his promise to repeal and replace the failing Obamacare appears to have only been hyperbolic campaign rhetoric.
These kinds of broken promises by Republicans are causing his constituents to lose faith in the GOP, Thorpe argued.
Congressmen who constantly grab headlines by attacking our Republican president and conservatives, and who are oblivious to the many campaign promises that got them elected, are destroying my constituents' confidence in our Republican Party, said Thorpe.
Radical, violent mobs seeking to destroy our history have been taking their toll on our republic. But so are the elected officials who encourage them, as well as those in our Republican Congress who dont want to do the job we elected them to do, who instead spend their time defying the president and his agenda.
McSally is rapidly becoming another McCain-Flake. She needs to go. Home, that is.
I’m thinking McCain will think his time as POW was cake walk compared to what might be waiting for him for his lies and actions toward citizens of our state and country.
Brain cancer aside, what I’ve read of him and his life, he is a self focused person and people like that are never serving their country nor countrymen, but only themselves.
Barry would have a lot hasher things to say.
At least someone has the balls to say it...
McCain is no longer a Republican. McCain is a Vindictive
He has only months left to get his licks in
mclame is a dieing waste of life.
>Wheres the rest of the GOP?
Patting McStain on the back behind closed doors and buying him drinks at the Taxpayer Bar??
Mr. Thorpe, I hope you will primary him, because McCain is an embarrassment to Arizonans. Anyone in Arizona know about Mr. Thorpe, he sounds like a great statesman.
He needs to show his raunchy ass on the way out of office.
Its hard to believe that any of us voted for AZs faker in 2008, but we held our nose and did so!
