McSally has been making gains. Sinema is a weird bird -something about inviting witches to anti-war rallies
On Monday night, Republican Rep. Martha McSally and her Democratic opponent, Rep. Kyrsten Sinema, took to the stage for their first and only debate in the contentious race to fill the Senate seat being vacated by Jeff Flake. The debate grew heated, and one of the two candidates took her attacks to a new level when McSally accused Sinema of literal treason.
That accusation, leveled by McSally in place of answering a question about climate change, hinged on 2003 comments Sinema made in a radio interview while promoting an anti-war protest, as reported by CNN last week. According to CNN, in February 2003, while Sinema was an activist with ties to the Green Party, she was working to support an anti-war protest in Patriots Square Park in Phoenix. A local libertarian activist named Ernest Hancock invited her on his radio show and launched into a somewhat confusing set of hypothetical questions, one of which had to do with joining the Taliban.
“Now you would say, maybe we do owe something to the world, as long as it’s nice and sweet and peaceful and what you want to do,” Hancock said.
“Well it’s not so much a candy-cane kind of theory as you’re making it stand out,” Sinema said. “But I do think that those of us who are privileged to have more do owe something to others.”
“By force?” Hancock asked. “By me, as an individual, if I want to go fight in the Taliban army, I go over there and I’m fighting for the Taliban. I’m saying that’s a personal decision … ”
“Fine,” Sinema said. “I don’t care if you want to do that. Go ahead.”
