McCain Should Pull Ads Featuring Sheriff who Appeared on Neo-Nazi Program

Phoenix, AZ (JULY 21) - U.S. Senate Candidate J.D. Hayworth (R-AZ) called on Sen. John McCain to pull off the air television advertisements featuring Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu who appeared on a neo-Nazi radio show.

"McCain's biggest pitch man is on the radio praising the show and calling the host of 'Political Cesspool' a 'great American,'" Hayworth said. "McCain needs to renounce the Sheriff, pull the ads and make it clear that this is not the type of campaigning he endorses."

McCain has turned Babeu into a media darling by featuring him in several ads including the infamous "danged fence" disaster.

Political Cesspool has been roundly criticized as a neo-Nazi program, and the host of this particular show said Babeu was the most exciting guest he has had on since infamous KKK leader David Duke appeared.

"David Duke, Paul Babeu, John McCain - certainly the Senior Senator from Arizona does not want to be at that party," Hayworth said. "The quickest way to let voters know he wants nothing to do with this group is to pull the ads. If he does not pull all the ads with Babeu, that speaks volumes about the man who loves saying that character matters."
