BARBER: REPUBLICANS "A BUNCH OF WHITE GUYS"
Categorizes all Republicans with ultra partisan
remarks
Tucson -
Today, Martha McSally responded to Ron Barber's remarks that categorized
Republicans as a "bunch of white guys" who represent "big money" in a recent
interview with the Arizona Daily Star.
"It's sad," said McSally,
"Ron Barber's comments reflect the tone of Washington politicians, where name
calling has become sport. Name calling and stereotypes never created a job or
helped a struggling family."
In an editorial board
meeting with the Arizona Daily Star on Tuesday, Barber said,
"The Democratic
side of the House is a rainbow of colors and ethnicities and religious beliefs."
"Quite frankly, on the other side, it's essentially a bunch of white guys."
That's because the people sent to represent Republicans are typically the 'big
money' people in the country, he said.
"This is exactly what is
wrong with Washington," said McSally Campaign Manager Bruce Harvie. "Ron Barber
is incapable of providing real leadership or solutions, so he just hurls
partisan attacks at Republicans. No wonder he has been so ineffective in
Washington."
Martha McSally is the first
female fighter pilot to fly in combat, and first to command a fighter squadron
in combat in United States history. In 2001-2002, Martha McSally earned national
recognition for successfully challenging and overturning a military policy
requiring all U.S. servicewomen to wear Muslim clothing when off base in Saudi
Arabia.
