Senate candidate promised to vote against GOP more than 20% of the time. She rarely ever did.

Rep. Martha McSally (R-AZ) has voted with Donald Trump more than 97 percent of the time.

As a Congressional candidate back in 2014, Martha McSally (R-AZ) explicitly promised that she would vote against her party more than 20 percent of the time in Congress. She has not even come close.

McSally made the promise in an October 7, 2014 debate against then-Rep. Ron Barber (D). First, she attacked Barber’s claims of bipartisanship, suggesting that his record as one of the most bipartisan members of Congress was insufficient. “I don’t think it’s bipartisan when you say you voted against your party only 20 percent of the time,” she said. “If that’s what’s going on in our country, that’s what’s wrong with Washington, DC.”

The moderator then asked whether McSally, if elected, would vote against the GOP positions more than 20 percent of the time. “Absolutely,” she replied.

Hey Arizona, since this individual McSally is basically a liar and supports a enabling traitor and sexual predator here is a solution:
