Senator Janae Shamp has issued a strong condemnation of a nude statue of President Donald Trump, which was recently displayed in Phoenix after initially being seen in Las Vegas. The statue, described as obscene by the senator, was hung from a crane.
"How anyone could possibly believe this political stunt is anything more than sick and deplorable is beyond me," Senator Shamp stated. She emphasized the pressing issues facing the nation, such as the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, inflation challenges, and the fentanyl crisis. "Many Americans have recently lost their lives or livelihoods in large areas of our country as a result of Hurricane Helene. Our federal government has run out of aid money to assist them after spending nearly $1 billion in FEMA funding to aid illegal immigration and the Biden-Harris open border crisis," she added.
Senator Shamp highlighted the struggles of hardworking families amid rising inflation and expressed concern over American citizens dying from fentanyl trafficking. She called for solutions and unity rather than what she termed "dangerous and deplorable political theater." Concluding her statement, she said, "This 'project' is a shameful use of anyone's resources and needs to end now."
The statement was communicated through Kim Quintero, Director of Communications for the Arizona State Senate Republican Caucus.
