How Nasty can you get?
Quote:Arizona GOP Senate candidate Kelli Ward compared political correctness to cancer on Monday, just two days after Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) died of brain cancer. “Political correctness is like a cancer!” Ward tweeted. McCain, who was a six-term United States senator from Arizona, died Saturday, a little more than a year after his diagnosis. He was 81. Ward sparked criticism earlier Saturday when she suggested that a Friday statement issued by McCain’s family about discontinuing treatment for his cancer was intended to hurt her campaign. "I think they wanted to have a particular narrative that they hope is negative to me,” Ward commented on a since-deleted Facebook post by one of her campaign staffers who questioned the timing of the McCain family’s statement. McCain died hours after she made the comment. In another Facebook comment, Ward appeared to blame the media for the reaction to her initial remarks.Arizona GOP Senate candidate compares political correctness to cancer days after McCain's death | TheHill
