State Rep. Adam Kwasman tweeted his outrage with a photo of a bus and the words: “Bus coming in. This is not compassion. This is the abrogation of the rule of law.”

On Tuesday, migrant children from Central America were expected to be bussed into Oracle, and taken to a local shelter. According to this report, Kwasman tweeted from the scene: “Bus coming in. This is not compassion. This is the abrogation of the rule of law." He posted the tweet along with an image of a yellow school bus.

As Speaker of the Arizona House, Andy Tobin might be expected to have at least a shred of respect for the law. Now that he’s running for Congress in Arizona’s First Congressional District such a basic consideration should be a requisite.

Pinal County Republicans unanimously censured the left-leaning Tobin in 2012, a fact which might have effected his decision to boycott the forum. The Maricopa County Republican Executive Guidance Committee also took the previously unprecedented action against Tobin censuring him by a 23 – 5 vote. Although...

Friend, We need 1,985 donors to step up by May 15th to counter liberal attacks. The Left is going to flood the zone in Tucson and Phoenix unless we step up.

We cannot let their lies go unchallenged or voters may begin to accept it as the truth. No one else...
