Why Didn't The AZ gop Censure John McCain Too?

I'm sure if he could, he would be yelling from the grave, that the election was fair, and that Joe Biden is a 100% legitimate President.

They might as well have thrown him into the mix, especially since they hate him so much these days.

John McCain was censured by the state GOP in 2014 and went on to comfortably win a Republican primary over Ward and a general election. The self-described maverick, known best for his willingness to buck his party, had strained relations with the state party for much of his career but was consistently reelected by wide margins.

You can't embarrass them or make them feel bad, so why bother? Being mean is the whole point.
