Arizona Republican Senate candidate Kelli Ward announced that she will be campaigning with high-profile speakers including an alt-right activist next week.
On August 24 to 25, Ward will go on a statewide bus tour dubbed “Road to Victory.” It will have eight stops — starting in Lake Havasu City and ending in Yuma, according to her website.
In a statement, her campaign manager, Shawn Dow said, “The momentum is with us and Republicans across the state are uniting behind Dr. Kelli Ward — the only true conservative in this race.”
In addition, Dow criticized Ward’s contenders, Republican Martha McSally and Democrat Krysten Sinema. According to him, both candidates “are from the same liberal, ‘Never Trump’ cloth.”
Ward will be going on a bus tour across Arizona. Her guest speakers will include Sen. Rand Paul, Reps. Paul Gosar and Steve King, and Mike Cernovich, a conspiracy theorist known for promoting “Pizzagate.”
Over the past few years, Cernovich has become popular on social media for promoting “men’s rights.” He is associated with white nationalists and white supremacists and known for “trolling” his detractors.

During an interview with MSNBC’s Kasie Hunt, Ward said she doesn’t know Cernovich’s views. However, she is aware that the alt-right activist has a following.
