The editorial board of the Arizona Republic on Sunday endorsed Rep. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) in her race against Rep. Martha McSally (R-AZ) to fill retiring Sen. Jeff Flake’s (R-AZ) seat. The endorsement focused largely on the candidates’ tone on the campaign trail, and in the unrelenting wave of campaign ads to hit Arizona televisions in recent weeks.
In a representative portion, the paper’s editorial board called for “a saner time,”
“…when senators didn’t call each other names –– or if they did, they could put it all aside after the vote and go get a beer together. There is too much “us and them” in D.C., and it hurts how we are governed.
The real Martha McSally and Kyrsten Sinema know that. But Sinema is the only one willing to say it (repeatedly) from behind her mask.
H/t The Hill.
Wow! All of these reliably right-wing editorial boards across the country are endorsing Dems. Who’d’ve thunk?
I’m finding it somewhat startling…
They didn’t give her a full throated endorsement. More like a “lesser of two evils” endorsement…
“Worn the better mask…”? I guess they don’t want to lose their entire readership, right?
I’ll happily take the endorsement though, as shallow as it is.
And then there’s the Chicago Tribune, endorsing the nomination of Bart O’Kavanaugh; and the elction of Brucey Rauner, and Erika Harold…
The Tribune was Fox decades before Fox.
And still is…
Sad!
