A social media post from Sen. Mark Kelly has sparked a fresh round of criticism from conservatives after the Arizona Democrat appeared at a World Cup watch party wearing a Mexico national team jersey instead of supporting Team USA.
What may have seemed like a casual appearance at a local soccer gathering quickly turned into a political controversy, with critics accusing Kelly of sending the wrong message at a time when questions surrounding immigration, border security, and national identity remain at the forefront of public debate.
Kelly shared photos from a World Cup watch event in Tucson, Arizona, where supporters gathered to watch Mexico take on England in a knockout-round matchup. The senator posted several smiling photos from the event and celebrated the atmosphere surrounding the game.
