Arizona Democrats Silent After Rep. Gallego Refuses Questions over Israel and Palestine Record
Arizona Sun Times ^ | 10/24/2023 | Tom Pappert

The Arizona Democratic Party (AZDP) did not respond to a comment request from The Arizona Sun Times on Monday after news of its $10,000 donation to the Senate campaign of Representative Ruben Gallego (D-AZ-03) broke the same day the Senate candidate refused to answer questions about his voting record on Palestine and Israel.

Gallego was captured refusing to answer questions about his votes and public statements about either providing aid to the Hamas terrorist group or denying aid to Israel on Thursday in a video uploaded to social media by the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC).

The Senate candidate was holding a coffee and appeared to be engaged in conversation on October 18, as the video was recorded. He walked silently for the duration of the 31-second video uploaded to X, formerly Twitter, even as he was asked about his alleged calls to send aid to Hamas and deny it to Israel.

Reports have indicated the NRSC will support the Senate bid of Arizona Republican Kari Lake, who one poll showed beating Gallego in a three-way race that includes Senator Kyrsten Sinema (I-AZ) running as an independent candidate. Lake shared the video, and wrote that Gallego “can hide now but Arizonans will hold him accountable on November 5, 2024.”

On the same day the NRSC uploaded its video, campaign finance records revealed the AZDP made two $5,000 donations to Gallego’s Senate campaign on September 30. The Sun Times contacted AZDP to ask for comment on the video, but did not receive a response.

Ruben Gallego is the current US congressman and US Senate candidate!
How can anybody ever vote for him?!
Yet, he’s pretty good shot for the Senate according to the media!

He has no shot. What he does is spoils Kyrsten Sinema’s chances. The only way we lose this is if we run a terrible candidate. It’s happened before.

If one’s rep is disdainful and refuses to acknowledge bad behavior, it may be a good time to remind them of the three ‘boxes’ that can be used to remove them from their current position. If they are particularly nasty about things remind them that the third of those ‘boxes’ is the most effective cure.
