Ariz. GOPers slap McCain wife, pols

Late Sen. John McCain’s widow, Cindy McCain, and two other prominent Arizona Republicans were formally censured by the state GOP over the weekend, a symbolic gesture intended to show the local GOP’s solidarity with former President Donald Trump.

Cindy McCain was chided Saturday for failing to support Trump and for championing vaguely described “leftist causes,” according to CNN.

She had endorsed President Biden for office and rejected Trump’s crazed efforts to overturn the November election results including in Arizona, which Biden won.

The Arizona GOP also punished former Sen. Jeff Flake and Gov. Doug Ducey.

Like Cindy McCain, Flake endorsed Biden and criticized Trump’s attempt to subvert the will of voters. The party censured Ducey over his COVID lockdown.
