ADP Statement Following Tonight’s #AZSen Debate
PHOENIX — Earlier this evening, Blake Masters, Jim Lamon, and Mick McGuire participated in the first televised GOP Senate primary debate, showing viewers across the state exactly why each of these “lesser-known Republicans” is unfit to represent Arizona in the U.S. Senate.
Over the course of the hour-long debacle, Lamon and Masters:
- Attacked each other over China ties;
- Fought over who was less of an Arizonan;
- Lied about their plans to dismantle Social Security;
- And Lamon continued his accusations that Masters is bought and paid for by his billionaire benefactor.
- Meanwhile, McGuire stood by quietly as the circus unfolded around him.
After an hour straight of intra-party attacks, Arizona Democratic Party spokesperson Hannah Goss quoted Blake Masters to describe the state of the Republican primary:
“Bullshit.”
