by ending his treatment. She made her comments yesterday, a few hours before he passed away. I am lost for words to react to her idiotic comment.

John McCain step down from the Senate and let her assume his duties. It was right after McCain announced he had terminal cancer.

GOP Senate Candidate Under Fire for McCain Comments
Conor Ralph/Reuters
Hours before Sen. John McCain passed away Saturday following a battle with brain cancer, a Republican Senate candidate in Arizona reportedly claimed on Facebook that the legendary maverick had tried to harm her campaign by releasing a statement announcing his decision to end medical treatment. I think they wanted to have a particular narrative that they hope is negative to me, Kelli Ward wrote. Her comments came in response to a post from a supporter who questioned whether it was just a coincidence that the McCain family released a statement about the senators deteriorating health just as Ward began her campaign, or meant to take media attention away from Ward. The posts were deleted after McCains death was announced late Saturday, but several screenshots were still circulating on social media. Ward later issued a statement on Facebook offering condolences to the McCain family and blasting the media, the left, and the Establishment for attacking me over fake stories.

who would believe her.
I just can't believe there are people out there who wouldn't cringe at such a statement, but I am sure there are.

Unless she wins the primary for Flake's seat on Tuesday, which I don't think she will.

The "Pizzagate" demagogue.
And lied about knowing what Cernovich writes about.
