WASHINGTON ― The Arizona Republican Party on Thursday targeted the re-election challenger of Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) with a “wanted” poster that alludes to gun violence, drawing criticism from Democrats and gun-control advocates, including former Rep. Gabby Giffords (D-Ariz.).
The poster portrays Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick (D-Ariz.) as an “absentee” politician and shows bullet holes around her picture.
Democrats, including state Democratic Party Chair Alexis Tameron, criticized the image and suggested it was insensitive to the 2011 Arizona mass shooting that nearly killed Giffords.
