Mark Kelly campaign spokesman apologizes for calling cops 'worthless f---ing pigs'
The Washington Times - ^ | October 15, 2020 | Jessica Chasmar

A campaign spokesman for Arizona Democratic Senate candidate Mark Kelly apologized Thursday for a tweet he wrote just before joining the campaign that called police “worthless f–ing pigs.”

T.J. L’Heureux, Mr. Kelly’s deputy press secretary, called police “worthless f–ing pigs” in response to a video that showed Chicago police clashing with protesters in August. He joined Mr. Kelly’s campaign one week later.

The Washington Free Beacon first reported the tweet Thursday morning, prompting Mr. L’Heureux to delete the tweet and lock his account.

...

Sen. Martha McSally, Mr. Kelly’s opponent, has repeatedly accused him of supporting the “defund the police” movement, which he denies.

These comments are disgusting and were made just one week before Mark Kelly hired this person, meaning he knew about it and was OK with it,” McSally spokesperson Caroline Anderegg told The Arizona Republic. “It’s just further proof that Mark embraces extreme anti-law enforcement ideas and rhetoric. Anything he tries to say to the contrary is a bunch of hot air.”

Now it’s about character. Does Kelly fire the miserable POS with three weeks to go?

"This might help McSally get over the finish line 👍" I sure hope that McSally uses this in her ads.

Why was he hired in the first place?

Either these ant brains knew about the tweet and agreed with the sentiment, or were too lazy/stupid to do due diligence.

Either way, so not a good look.

A worthless lying sack of $hit called cops apologizes for calling police worthless f***ing pigs. Yeah we know this apology is sincere. But unfortunately since he is a worthless sack of lying $hit, we cannot accept his apology at this time!

Being a twin was a big factor, I think.

“how’d this guy ever get into the space program??”

Maybe NASA thought it might be a one way trip but kept it quiet?

Except that fighter pilot/astronaut thing. He and his twin brother Scott were both Navy Pilots and Astronauts. Sure, he's milking the shooting of his wife, but being an astronaut is a pretty big resume enhancer for a political candidate. I suspect he was picked to one-up McSally being a fighter pilot. "See, our fighter pilot is an astronaut too!"

I hope voters see through it.

I am in Arizona and I hope this helps take Mark Kelly out!

He is as phony as a three dollar bill, pretends he’ll be “bipartisan for Arizona and do what’s right.”

BULLSH*T!! He is an anti-Second Amendment gun-grabber and he just called the Mexico border wall “a 17th century solution.” He’s an open borders leftist, a total disgrace and liar.

Mark Kelly will do whatever the Vile Chuck Schumer tells him to do, PERIOD.

Sadly, it seems AZ is ready to vote for a cop hating, China loving, anti-2A zealot. I hope Martha can open their eyes, but it’s getting increasingly difficult to get conservative messages through the media filters.

I believe if his wife hadn’t been shot in a random attack, neither him or her would be gun confiscation advocates.

I am also in Arizona ... Mark Kelly makes McCain look like a saint. He is a Commie gun grabbing crook. The quintessential leftist puke.
