Hot mic gaffe
A local TV station caught Giles on a hot mic as he talked with U.S. Sen. Jeff Flake after a town hall last November.
Flake, R-Ariz., had just finished speaking when Giles approached the senator. The two, apparently unaware that the audio was still recording, briefly discussed Roy Moore, then a candidate for U.S. Senate in Alabama, and the president.

In video that the station reports is cut off at the beginning, likely clipping the words "if we," Flake said, "become the party of Roy Moore and Donald Trump, we are toast."
Giles responds, "And I am not throwing smoke at you, but you're the guy that could just for fun, think about how much fun it would be, just to be the foil, you know, and to point out what an idiot this guy is."
Shortly after making the comments, Giles faced a barrage of vitriolic emails and tweets. . .
Our goofy mayor then goes on to complain in the report about COARSE CIVIC DISCOURSE . .
Hey! Isn't that the same excuse AZ State Senator Bob Worsley used when he decided not to stand for re-election to a second term?
Worsley used the words "acerbic public discourse" as the excuse and foil for having his short-lived political career ended.
He got all washed-out using his public elected office for personal profits.
Any reasonable person might ask why these two conservative Mesa Mormon Republicans In-Name-Only always need 'a foil' to hide behind . . . mebbe they just like getting caught

Among them was an email with the subject line: "Dear Mayor Dumbass." The contents of the email message: a prayer that the mayor of Mesa, John Giles, dies a slow, painful death from testicular cancer.
The situation reflected what one expert said is a coarsening of civic discourse that increasingly concerns many Americans.
Others called the mayor, who leads a city once ranked as the most conservative in the United States, a "traitor" to the Republican Party.
