Wes Harris, Arizona Tea Party Leader, Seeks To Recall John McCain Over Huma Abedin Defense
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/07/24/wes-harris-arizona-tea-party_n_1697793.html?ref=topbar
Conspiracy theories about Secretary of State Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin being linked to the Muslim Brotherhood publicly dribbled down to the lower echelons of conservative politics this week, with an Arizona Tea Party leader promising to launch a recall effort against Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) for his defense of Abedin.
Last week, a group of Republican lawmakers led by Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) drew widespread condemnation from both sides of the aisle for the loosely sourced contention that Huma Abedin, the Muslim-American wife of former Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.), had ties to the Muslim Brotherhood.
McCain strongly pushed back against this charge, taking to the Senate floor to call the allegations "nothing less than an unwarranted and unfounded attack on an honorable woman."
Wes Harris, the founder and chairman of the Original North Phoenix Tea Party, now says McCain's words have given him grounds to mount an effort to unseat the longtime senator.

Impeachment, yes. Elections, yes.

(79 posts)2. impeachment of U. S. Senator.
Once elected, a senator cannot be removed other than by election. Had impeachment been an option, lieberman would have been impeached or recalled.

(17,162 posts)6. On what grounds, Harris? That would be interesting to know.
What an idiot.
He is just grandstanding for his imbecile band of followers.
What a fool.
Come on, Wes Harris, let's hear the basis for for your proposed removal of McCain.
What an idiot.

He made the majority of this mess with his selection of Sarah Palin as his Veep.
