Kelli Ward, a candidate in the Arizona Republican primary to replace retiring Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ), tweeted out a cancer metaphor two days after Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) died from brain cancer.
Political correctness is like a cancer!

Ward made waves in the hours before McCain died as well, saying that the family released a statement announcing that the senator would be taken off of medical treatment purposely to disrupt her campaign.
