Washington, D.C. – At the Yuma Sector of our southern border, 104 convicted felons were arrested last week.
Meanwhile, in Washington, Senator Mark Kelly is supporting the judicial nomination of Arizonan Roopali Desai who has a long track record of supporting radical policies regarding criminals.
According to Fox News:
Desai serves on the board of Just Communities Arizona (JCA), a self-described “abolitionist organization” that envisions “a world in which prisons and jails are unnecessary.”
The organization has taken several radical stances on the criminal justice system, including claiming that “the criminal punishment system isn’t really about justice” and mourning Arizona’s execution of Frank Atwood last month.
Atwood was convicted in 1987 of raping and murdering 8-year-old Vicki Lynne Hoskinson prior to disposing of her body in the Arizona desert northwest of Tuscon…
JCA was formerly known as the Arizona chapter of the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC), changing its name in January of this year.
AFSC’s national arm supports defunding the police and called the American criminal justice system “a racist system that disproportionately targets people of color” during the George Floyd riots. AFSC-Arizona co-signed a statement from the national arm that called to divert resources “away from the police forces that occupy our communities.”
AFSC also supported abolishing prisons as well as the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement targeting Israel backed by several terrorist organizations.
In light of such glaringly disqualifying facts, why on earth does Mark Kelly support her nomination?
Statement from NRSC Spokesman T.W. Arrighi: “Mark Kelly’s support of Roopali Desai to be a federal judge overseeing cases in Arizona is so nonsensical, it defies belief. However, when it comes to Joe Biden and what he wants, Mark Kelly is the ultimate team player, willing to put his communities at risk to ensure President Biden’s agenda is delivered. Whether it be doing nothing to solve the border crisis or putting radicals on the federal bench, Kelly always delivers for Joe.”
