L-fucking-O-fucking-L.
Personally, I have zero use for Cindy McCain. She doesn't deserve a platform, simply because of who her husband was and it's a stupid move to publicly rebuke her, as it just gives her credibility.
But calling Flake a globalist and getting on his case for "rejecting populism," that's hilariously ignorant. The years Flake spent trying to curb earmark spending, the times he stood on principal in Congress, bucking the system, refusing to be a corporate drone, refusing to be an elitist douche, those don't matter because he doesn't like Trump. Yeah, okay.
The Arizona Republican Party, in an anticipated move Saturday, approved resolutions censuring Gov. Doug Ducey (R), former GOP Sen. Jeff Flake and Cindy McCain, the widow of the late Arizona Sen. John McCain (R).
The public rebukes, which are largely symbolic, came after both McCain and Flake endorsed President Biden in the 2020 election. The party cited Ducey’s coronavirus restrictions as the reason behind his censure.
The Arizona Republic reported that the resolution to condemn Ducey argued his emergency safety rules "restrict personal liberties and force compliance to unconstitutional edicts.”
Meanwhile, the party at its statewide meeting Saturday argued that McCain "has supported globalist policies and candidates" and "condemned President Trump for his criticism of her husband and erroneously placed behaviors over actual presidential results."
The state GOP said that Flake has "condemned the Republican Party, rejected populism, and rejected the interests of the American people over globalist interests,” adding that Flake should join the Democratic Party.
