Twitter Users Tell Flake to 'Be a Hero' and 'Show Some Backbone' on Health Care Bill

[TexasTowelie]

Republicans took another crack at the GOP health care bill today that left Senator Jeff Flake on the fence. Arizona residents weren't willing to let Flake hem and haw about their health care and immediately took to Twitter to try to persuade him to vote 'no' on the revised bill.

@JeffFlake Please vote No on the health care bill. The weakest and most vulnerable Americans are counting on you to have strength & courage.

Some tried to play into his ego, asking him and fellow Arizona Republican Senator John McCain to "be a hero" for residents relying on Medicaid. Other Twitter users, like the resistance group Indivisible, taunted the senators to "show some backbone" and included a visual aid.
