Blake Masters Backtracks on Abortion

Arizona U.S. Senate candidate Blake Masters (R) “softened his tone and scrubbed his website’s policy page of tough abortion restrictions Thursday, as his party reels from the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision overturning Roe v. Wade,” NBC News reports.

“In an ad posted to Twitter on Thursday, Masters sought to portray his opponent, Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ), as the extremist on the issue while describing his own views as ‘commonsense.'”

“Just after releasing the ad, Masters’s campaign overhauled his website and softened his rhetoric, re-writing or erasing five of his six positions. NBC News took screenshots of the website before and after it was changed.”
