GOP says backlash in party due to Kyl

PHOENIX — The head of the Arizona Republican Party launched criticism Monday at a U.S. Senate immigration compromise bill, saying the party base is “incensed” by the deal and, particularly, by Sen. Jon Kyl’s involvement in drafting it. “We have people coming in every day, tearing up their registration cards and throwing them on the floor, or coming in and changing their registration from Republican to independent,” said party Chairman Randy Pullen during a press conference at the state headquarters in Phoenix. Pullen held up what he called a “graphic” representation of how Republicans feel. It was a drawing of a hand with the middle finger pointing up and highlighted. “This is basically the outlook that many of our party faithful are feeling right now about the Republican Party,” he said.
