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."
