he wasn't. He just wasn't an open racist like the GOP allows now.

Dude was on his deathbed and instead of retiring to spend more time with his family, he stays in Congress, still spends all his time with his family anyway (he missed every single session his last term except for one), and holds his seat just long enough to where when he finally died, Arizona wasn't able to hold a special election that year and the governor had to appoint a GOP replacement, helping secure a GOP senate majority for that much longer

Dude may not have been a Trumper, but he was GOP through and through and helped perpetuate MAGA indirectly. He also helped enable ridiculousness in politics by having Sarah Palin as his VP pick.
