The top-rated Los Angeles radio talk-show team is asking its listeners to punish the Republican Party for waffling on illegal immigration by sacrificing a California congressman — politically speaking.
John Kobylt and Ken Chiampou, hosts of "The John & Ken Show" on KFI-AM, have enlisted their audience to identify and target for defeat one local Republican congressman they deem soft on issues such as border security and benefits for undocumented aliens.
The duo, who call their plan a "political human sacrifice," say it is meant as a wake-up call to Republican leaders who ignore their constituents' pleas for stronger border enforcement for fear of offending Hispanic voters or the agriculture industry.
"We're overwhelmed by illegal immigration in Southern California. The Republican Party just doesn't understand the level of anger out here," Mr. Kobylt said. "They just say [to conservatives], 'Who else are you going to vote for?' "
