Fanatical
Republican
Extremist Of
The Day:
Kelly Cooper |

"In the
general
election,
Greg Stanton
still was
polling with
a healthy
lead… and
that’s when Kelly
Cooper’s
financial
disclosure
forms got
strange, and
he suddenly
amended them
to try and
explain how
over a
million
dollars in
cash
appeared in
his bank
accounts to
loan to his
own
campaign.
We’ll call
that
“interesting”,
and by that
we mean
“suspicious”
because
there’s no
indication
of where
that $1.3
million came
from. What
truly doomed
Kelly Cooper
was his own
mouth.
Cooper had
the terrible
opinion to
release all
the indicted
domestic
terrorists
from the
attack on
the Capitol
on Jan. 6th,
2021, from
jail, and
who cited
his
inspiration
to run as
having been
the
government
asking his
businesses
to follow
guidelines
and mandates
to help stop
the spread
of Covid-19
during the
pandemic.
After the
FBI raided
Mar-a-Lago
to recover
classified
documents
stolen, and
not returned
by Mar-a-Lardo,
Cooper came
out hard in
defense of
Trump,
comparing
the federal
agents
trying to
protect
American
national
security to
the Nazis
and Hitler’s
Gestapo." |

A Pro-Trump
GOP
Congressional
Candidate
Says He's A
'Lifelong
Republican.'
Election
Records Say
He Joined
Party Last
Year |
|
"In a March
23 letter to
a precinct
committeeman, Cooper says
that he is a
"lifelong
Republican."
He also
touts his
support of
the America
First
platform and
Trump. In a
May 23
Tweet,
Cooper
wrote: "As
the only
viable
America
First
candidate in
this race I
am excited
for the
opportunity
that may
come. I
encourage
anyone
looking to
look deep.
Not everyone
is who there
say they
are. [...]
Maricopa
County
Elections
Department documents
indicate
that Cooper
registered
as "Other,"
with "No
Party
Preference"
from 2014
until
January
2021, when
he
registered
as a
Republican. [...] In
modifications
made to his
voting
registration
in 2004,
2008, 2010,
2011 and
2013, Cooper
also
registered
as an
independent.
Records from
the Maricopa
County
Elections
Department
also show
that prior
to 2020,
Cooper
participated
in two
primary
elections.
According to
the
department's
records,
Cooper
requested
ballots in
2016 and
2014. In the
former,
Cooper asked
for and
voted in the
Green Party
primary. The
records do
not show
Cooper
partaking in
the
Republican
primary that
year,
thereby he
could not
have
supported Trump in
that
particular
early
contest." |
