*WATCH above, Martha McSally's 'Cash for Campaign' Pitch*
"Fast A Meal"?? This is the most tone-deaf fundraising pitch I've ever heard.
If you can fast a meal and give [to my campaign] what that would be... If you ever catch yourself uttering those words, stop.
Unfortunately for unelected Arizona Senator, Martha McSally, she did not stop..all she can think about is how badly she doesn't want to lose to Mark Kelly (D-AZ), Gabby Giffords husband. Too bad.
People are starving right now, in long lines for food..
- Staggering Food Bank lines across America (Mother Jones).
This is the GOP in a nutshell. They dont care that people are suffering and dying because of their incompetence and efforts to limit healthcare access in America.
They dont care that their poor handling of this virus has led to hundreds of thousands of infections and close to 200,000 deaths.
Martha McSally stood up in GOP conference meeting and said let's get this "fucking thing" done. Yes, direct quote per members and aides. May 4, 2017

A bunch of (inexplicably popular) televangelists do similar things. I suspect she's falling back

Remember a few years ago people put up signs offering to pay for diabetes testing strips?

You feel free to skip all the meals you want and use the savings to support your campaign.

For every meal you skip, Martha will skip three

How could anyone vote for such a sickening creature?

... and send the money to McSally for her US Senate campaign.

Maybe she will ask people to sell their testing strips and sell plasma next.
