AZ legislators threatened over support for Medicaid expansion.
Brophy McGee said she was shaken by a voice mail she received when she arrived at her legislative office on Thursday morning.
It was an obscene, abusive phone call, she said. The caller, who left the message on Wednesday evening, seemed impaired as he complained about Medicaid expansion. He left a phone number.
Brophy McGee said the call only solidified her resolve to support Medicaid expansion.
Rep. Heather Carter, R-Cave Creek, another proponent of Medicaid expansion, said she also referred a threatening call to security.
Carter said the gist of the message was: Were going to come in and storm your office.
Im getting e-mails saying, Were going to follow you everywhere you go, she said.
Both women said negative messages have increased since last week, when the Senate voted for Medicaid expansion.
