Jay Feely is currently running for Congress as a Republican in Arizona's 5th Congressional District, pretending to be a Pro-Trump, MAGA Republican. However, even his own recent words tell a very different story: he's an anti-Trump Democrat.
The Facts
Below is a timeline of Feely's statements and actions that demonstrate his true political beliefs.
In 2025, Feely slammed President Trump for his pardon of J6 political prisoners.
On the Jan. 22, 2025, edition of KSTAR's "The War Room," Jay Feely was asked, "Should Trump have pardoned people who assaulted police officers [on January 6th]?" Feely responded:
"I've said it on this show before, on this show, that no, if you assaulted people and you did things that were against the law, then you should pay the consequences."

Feely's campaign is also backed with direct financial support from Congressman Tom Emmer, whom President Trump referred to as a "globalist RINO" and blocked from becoming Speaker of the House.
In 2024, Feely attacked President Trump’s “failure of leadership” on a talk radio program.
During his Oct. 23, 2024, appearance on KTAR's "The War Room," when asked, "What do you call January 6th?" Jay Feely responded:
"A failure; a failure in leadership. I think it was a huge mistake on his part and anybody who participated in that; it's easy for me to say that."

In June 2009, Feely posted on X saying, "[I'm] more Democrat on gun control, spending, and environment."
In 2009, Feely defended President Obama on Fox News and compared him to Reagan.
On the April 20, 2009, episode of Hannity, Jay Feely said:
HANNITY: But at some point, "you know", you’ve got to stop, "you know", bowing before the Saudi king, sucking up to Hugo Chavez, to some of the world’s worst dictators, not recognizing Cuba until they release their political prisoners, not calling American—America arrogant in just about every place. […]
HANNITY: So if you're the—if you're the president of the United States, Bob, and Daniel Ortega, the brutal communist murdering dictator, "are you going to sit there for 50 minutes and hear your country berated?" […]
FEELY: It's interesting that you said that with Reagan, because when he met with Gorbachev for the first time in 1986, he was roundly criticized by Republicans and conservatives.
Henry Kissinger, Nixon, both—both were very vocal about their criticism, and yet there was some merit to that. And there's some merit to some of the decisions that Obama's made.
You look at Turkey. We need an alternate natural gas line going back into Europe. So there's some merit.
But the president of the United States needs to defend our country, defend our legacy, and more than anything, he needs to display grace and strength simultaneously.
