AZ-SEN: Kelli Ward forgets when the Sandy Hook massacre happened.

[RandySF]

NATIONAL HARBOR, MARYLAND — In January 2013, just one month after the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, Arizona State Senator Kelli Ward proposed a bill that would ban all federal, state or local government employees and federally licensed gun dealers in Arizona from enforcing any federal law or regulation relating to firearms or ammunition.

But when asked about the proposal on Thursday at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), Ward, now running to replace Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ), said she didn’t remember the proposal and was not in politics at that time, despite being elected to the state senate in November 2012.

Presented with articles about Ward’s proposal, her campaign’s communication director said they were confused about the question because they didn’t remember when the Sandy Hook tragedy took place, saying they thought at the the mass shooting at an elementary school happened in 2003, not 2012 when Ward was already in politics.

10. Youve probably heard Rethuglican epithets for Democrats, BUT

Have you ever tried to spell *epub***n without the “L,” the “I,” the “A,” and the “R”?

Can’t be done. Neither can you spell it without the “R,” the “U,” the “I,” or the “N.”

9. They call her "Chemtrail Kelli."

She earned that nickname when she organized a forum to push contrail conspiracies. She is way more than a few French fries short of a Happy Meal.
