New Ad Rips Kelli Ward in Arizona Senate Race

The Senate Leadership Fund released a new ad on Tuesday attacking Kelli Ward, the primary opponent of Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., for her "crazy ideas."

The group, which is backed by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., released a new digital ad calling her "Chemtrail Kelli." It is spending $10,000 on the ad, The Washington Examiner reported.

The ad slams her "embarrassing behavior" as a state senator and during her primary challenge against Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., last year, according to the Examiner.

"One year ago, Arizona Republicans rejected Chemtrail Kelli Ward," the narrator says in the ad. "Remember why? Ward wasted your tax dollars for a town hall on chemtrail conspiracy theories.

"Embarrassing behavior. Dangerous ideas. No wonder Republicans rejected her just one year ago," the ad's narrator says. "Chemtrail Kelli — not conservative, just crazy ideas."

The ad comes after President Donald Trump had tweeted favorably about Ward.

Great to see that Dr. Kelli Ward is running against Flake Jeff Flake, who is WEAK on borders, crime and a non-factor in Senate. He's toxic!
