Joe Biden is headed to Arizona today to campaign for his favorite out-of-touch Arizona liberal, Kyrsten Sinema. Biden will be right at home alongside Sinema, given their mutual support for shutting down Arizona Air Force Bases (lost jobs and economic consequences be damned) and their radical open borders agenda.
According to her own words in the Arizona Republic, Sinema fully backed closing Luke Air Force Base, which supports jobs for 85,000 Arizonans. While Biden, as a Senator, voted to shut down Williams Air Force Base in Maricopa County which served as the nation’s foremost pilot training facility until it was shuttered in 1993, causing a loss of 3,800 jobs and $300 million in economic activity for the state.
And just like Biden, who backs amnesty and did nothing to fix our broken immigration system, Sinema has repeatedly voted to protect sanctuary cities, voted against completing the wall, and voted to deny additional border security at ports of entry where 90% of illegal narcotics enter our country.
“Biden’s visit casts a bright spotlight on Kyrsten Sinema’s radical efforts to shut down Luke Air Force base and her consistent votes to weaken our borders,” said NRSC Spokesman Calvin Moore. “Luke Air Force base supports tens of thousands of jobs for Arizonans, but Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Biden would rather shut it down completely and send these crucial jobs elsewhere.”
