The moderate facade may have just shattered unintentionally for Democratic senatorial candidate Mark Kelly of Arizona.
A bombshell Thursday report from The Washington Free Beacon revealed that the deputy press secretary of the Kelly campaign, T.J. L’Heureux, was found to have made radical anti-law enforcement remarks in recent months, referring to the police in vulgar and derogatory terms on Twitter in August.
“You worthless f—ing pigs,” L’Heueux wrote in apparent response to a video of Chicago Police Department officers getting physical with demonstrators at one of the many, at-times violent, Black Lives Matter protests that punctuated the late spring and early summer following the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis police custody.

The since-deleted tweet was posted Aug. 17, exactly one week before L’Heureux officially joined the Arizona campaign.
A Western Journal inquiry forwarded Thursday morning sought to clarify whether the Kelly campaign was aware of L’Heureux’s statement at the time of his hiring, and how a red flag remark of that magnitude could be missed in subsequent social media background checks if not.
The Western Journal also asked whether the campaign might oppose the remarks and throw its support behind the law enforcement officers so recently attacked by one of the key pieces of its communications apparatus.
Kelly and his campaign have not yet responded to requests for comment on the controversy.
Incumbent Republican Sen. Martha McSally, for her part, was anything but hesitant in rebuking the remark, quick to point out just how radical L’Heureux’s hiring proved the Kelly campaign to be.
“These comments are disgusting and were made just one week before Mark Kelly hired this person,” McSally campaign communications director Caroline Anderegg told The Western Journal in an emailed statement. “It’s just further proof that Mark embraces extreme anti-law enforcement ideas and rhetoric. Anything he tries to say to the contrary is a bunch of hot air.”
An astronaut, Navy veteran and former first-responder, Kelly has fashioned himself as a moderate in efforts to win the now-purple Arizona, peddling vague center-left policy prescriptions in moments with the media.
Kelly’s official campaign website indicates he is a first-time candidate with a roughly seven-year history in political organization, however — and among his primary platform issues are progressive mainstays such as fighting climate change, eliminating the gender “wage gap” and working toward gun control in light of a 2011 mass shooting that severely wounded his wife, former Democratic Rep. Gabrielle Giffords.
It would be a safe assumption to make that any Democrat, no matter how “moderate” they appear, is a far left radical scumbag. Democrats wouldn’t allow them in the club unless they were.
