Arizona GOP Senate candidate compares political correctness to cancer days after McCain's death

[demmiblue]

Arizona GOP Senate candidate Kelli Ward compared political correctness to cancer on Monday, just two days after Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) died of brain cancer.

“Political correctness is like a cancer!” Ward tweeted.

McCain, who was a six-term United States senator from Arizona, died Saturday following a year-long battle with the disease. He was 81.

Ward sparked criticism earlier Saturday when she suggested that a Friday statement issued by McCain’s family about discontinuing treatment for his cancer was intended to hurt her campaign.

3. "People give me dirty looks when I call black people the n-word, it's just like cancer, maybe worse"

Totally.

4. That sentiment plays well with the deplorables who hated McCain.

Statements like that would hurt in a general election. It it helps her in tomorrow’s Republican primary, though.

5. Scummy McCain conspiracy theory tweeted by a staffer & agreed with by Ward her highness herself.

6. "McCain timed his death to damage my campaign!"

7. When McCain revealed his illness, she publicly demanded that he immediately resign...

... suggesting that she be named the interim replacement! She's really good at this.
