Hayworth takes on McCain, Democrats at town hall
A former Arizona Congressman campaigned in Kingman Saturday, railing against his Republican rival, U.S. Sen. John McCain, as well as Democrats.
Republican candidate John David Hayworth, 51, held a town hall, which drew about 125 people to a Kingman church. Hayworth was a conservative six-term U.S. Congressman until 2007, after which he hosted a Phoenix radio talk show.
Arizona House Rep. Nancy McLain R-Bullhead City said Hayworth has been “banging the drum” about border security for years now unlike someone who has an election year conversion, she added without mentioning McCain by name. She also formerly endorsed Heyworth for McCain’s Senate seat.
Hayworth told the crowd that he recognized McCain for his military service to the country but said it was time to welcome the senator home. It was not a personal attack on McCain but a difference in policy, he said.
