ELOY – The Arizona GOP reported that the Ann Kirkpatrick flew a Mexican flag on her float at a parade in Eloy on September 13. Her tweet did not feature the flag prominently, but the Republicans added a photo showing the float with the flag.

According to the Eloy Enterprise, the parade was part of a celebration called sponsored by a group called Corazon De Latinos Unidos which translates to Latino Heart of America.

According to the article:

Las Fiestas Patrias is an important festival celebrated throughout Mexico and Latino communities in the U.S., marking Mexico’s Independence Day. Las Fiestas Patrias, meaning “homeland celebration…”

It does seem inconsistent that while Kirkpatrick seems proud to wave the Mexican flag, she is not proud enough to tweet the fact. The homeland they are celebrating seems apparent with the absence of American flags.

The Maricopa County Republicans report that the Mayor of Eloy, Joe Nagy, has endorsed Andy Tobin to represent Congressional District 1.
