"Pristine Bones" for Congress!

The case against Christine Jones can be made, in part, by a member of her campaign team this time around.

Last cycle, when Jones was running in the Gubernatorial primary, freelance blogger Shane Wikfors took to social media on several occasions to expose Jones' hypocrisies and liberal tendencies.

Wikfors' blog - Sonoran Alliance, which has largely been a public forum for conservatives to post op-eds and press releases - was full of posts shedding unflattering lights on just who Christine Jones really was.

Two years later, the blog has been scrubbed of any anti-Jones material, and Wikfors defends Jones with every breath of his body.

What changed?

Maybe money means more to Wikfors than the principle of standing against someone who, in 2014, was a threat to conservatism and to Arizona. The latest FEC reports from Christine Jones; campaign show that Wikfors' firm (Red Mountain Consulting & Development) was paid $3,000 by the Jones' campaign.


Wikfors probably views this opportunity as a chance to climb the ladder - possibly even eying a staff position in Christine Jones' AZ-05 office if she were to win the election.

But with comments like those below - comments that were made by a man who wasn't paid at the time to write, but that came from the heart - Christine Jones can't be too happy about him being on her payroll. She more than likely just views Wikfors as a loudmouth bullhorn that can fill social media for the time-being with pro-Jones posts. After the election, Jones is likely to drop Wikfors as fast as he once called her "Pristine Bones" and a "poser."

Jones is trying very hard to run on a platform of being a Washington outsider. The truth is that she's not an outsider and a look at who's on her payroll helps to prove just that. Shane Wikfors has proved to be the ultimate insider by running from his principles as soon as money came calling. He should know better than to work for a candidate like Christine Jones.

He once did know better - and his 2014 comments prove just that. Let Traitor Shane know what you think of his convenient switch to the dark side. He's very easy to find on social media these days.
