CNN’s Chris Cillizza Mocked For Saying Conservatives ‘Struck Out’ With McSally: ‘Stop Being a Dumbass’
CNN Politics Reporter and Editor-at-Large Chris Cillizza was at the receiving end of some mockery for weighing in on the GOP senate primary race in Arizona.
On Tuesday night, Rep. Martha McSally clinched the Republican nomination in hopes of replacing outgoing senator Jeff Flake, defeating more pro-Trump candidates Dr. Kelli Ward and Sheriff Joe Arpaio in the process.
According to Cillizza, McSally is the latest GOP senate candidate who has “struck out” with Arizona conservatives.
Conservatives have struck out repeatedly in Arizona Senate primaries.
Hayworth loses to McCain in 2010
Ward loses to McCain in 2016
Ward and Arpaio lose to McSally in 2018

Neither Ward or Arpaio are conservatives, and it’s kind of telling that you don’t realize that.

You calling Ward and Arpaio “conservative” is why your network is losing credibility. https://t.co/CN1Ou4ioC1

My network propped up the crazy candidate for weeks to prove conservatives are crazy conspiracy racists
Conservatives ignore national media attention & vote for McSally
See this just proves conservatives lost. https://t.co/r9znlSQyau
