GOP Rep. Martha McSally Caught Posting Fake Compliments to Her Own Facebook Account

On Sunday afternoon, Republican Representative Martha McSally posted an uncontroversial and innocuous status update regarding Arizonans’ service during the Vietnam War.

Quite a bit more controversially, however, McSally–or her social media director–immediately moved to post the first comment on the update in an apparent bid to highlight some pro-McSally sock-puppetry.

Usually, when a campaign staffer wants to make it look like constituents love their representative more than they actually do, said campaign staffer will switch over from their campaign’s official social media account to the fake sock-puppet account. That didn’t happen in this case.

Instead, Rep. Martha McSally made the following comment on Rep. Martha McSally’s Facebook post: “Great video quality! Thank you for your service!”
