AZ-06 Republican Doubles Down on Comparing COVID Vaccines to Nazi Germany

Will Republican Juan Ciscomani condemn his primary opponent’s deeply offensive rhetoric?

Kelly Townsend, the latest Republican to jump into the race in AZ-06, has already made local headlines for comparing the lifesaving COVID-19 vaccine to Nazi Germany  — and now she’s taking to Twitter to double down on her dangerous rhetoric.

Townsend’s deeply offensive comparisons are a disturbing trend and demand a response from her primary opponent, Juan Ciscomani. Will AZ-06 voters hear from Juan Ciscomani, or will he refuse to condemn the rhetoric that is gaining a foothold in the Republican primary?

“Arizonans deserve better than the deeply offensive rhetoric coming out of the Republican primary field,” said DCCC spokesperson Monica Robinson. “Failure to denounce Kelly Townsend’s shameful comparisons of lifesaving vaccines to the Holocaust speaks volumes to someone’s conscience.”
