Republican Senate hopeful Kelli Ward says its “ridiculous” to connect her with Mike Cernovich‘s controversial rhetoric, even though he’ll be right next to her during her campaign to replace Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ).
Over the weekend, Ward told the media that she’ll soon embark on a statewide campaign bus tour that will feature various alt-right political celebrities, including Cernovich — a Pizzagate-promoting, conspiracy theorist. Ward says she extended the invite because she wants to reach Cernovich’s audience.
During a Monday night interview with NBC’s Vaughn Hillyard, Ward was asked about Cernovich’s controversial content, including his thoughts that diversity is “white genocide.”
“Attaching those things to me is ridiculous,” Ward said. When Hillyard countered by noting that he’s on her bus tour, she said “we need to have a hook to get you guys interested in seeing the bus tour.”
“Just having a great candidate is not enough for the media sadly,” Ward continued. “You need someone to spin things up, and you guys have bitten, and I’m glad.”
Ward was also asked about a tweet she posted in which she slammed Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), while calling Flake a “disgrace.”
We don’t need a magic mirror to know that Martha & Jeff are created from the same McCain mold.#FlakeJeffFlake is a disgrace. Arizonans won’t be fooled into voting for McSally AKA Flake 2.0.

When asked if Flake and McCain are “bigger disgraces” than Cernovich, Ward replied, “it depends on who’s looking.”
