Rachel Maddow May Have Just Ended Martha McSallys Senate Campaign With A Brilliant Fact Check
The Arizona Senate contest has been one of the closest races in the country this election cycle, but Rachel Maddow may have just dashed the GOPs hopes of holding onto the seat.
In a brilliant fact check, Maddow exposed GOP candidate Martha McSallys blatant lies about her position on protecting health care coverage for her constituents.

Transcript:
MCSALLY: We cannot go back to where we were before Obamacare where people were one diagnosis away from going bankrupt because they could not get access to health care.
MADDOW: What was the way she put it again? Lets get this f-ing thing done, lets f-ing kill Obamacare. Now running as the Senate candidate that Arizona should trust to protect Obamacare. Its just like are you freaking kidding me?
Republicans tried to kill Obamacare. Now theyre running as if they created it.
Republicans in Congress voted dozens of times to repeal the Affordable Care Act, including protections for those with pre-existing conditions.
Yet, in this election cycle, Donald Trump and GOP candidates all across the country including some of the same folks who have their names attached to lawsuits challenging protections for pre-existing conditions are running as if they invented Obamacare.
As Maddow so appropriately said on Thursday night, Are you freaking kidding me?
This strategy might work inside of the right-wing media bubble or at one of Trumps mob-style MAGA rallies, but anybody who has been paying attention will see right through it.

(254 posts)Low information voters here in Arizonaee. It should be a no brainer to vote for Kyrsten Sinema our democratic representative. She represented what might be called a mixed district where she needed to be middle of the road in terms of her voting pattern in Congress.
I fear that there are just enough wing nuts to push McShitty over to a victory. Considering the number of them in Arizonaee it will not be a shock if that happens.
I already voted for Sinema as I am on the permanent early voting by mail list. Here in Flagstaff we are more democratic than the rest of the state.
