Later today, Martha McSally will vote to confirm Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court. In doing so, she will break her promise to protect people with pre-existing conditions. For the SEVENTH time.
Just in case anyone has lost track, a quick thread (1/7):
Just in case anyone has lost track, a quick thread (1/7):
In February 2015, she voted for a full repeal of the Affordable Care Act. If passed, that bill would have completely eliminated protections for preexisting conditions.
In October 2015, she voted for a budget that repealed key components of the ACA. (2/7)

In May 2017, she once again voted to repeal the ACA. This time, she rallied fellow Republicans to the cause - "Let's get this fucking thing done", in her exact words. (3/7)
Her replacement bill would have left people with pre-existing conditions facing sky-high premiums or unable to buy insurance at all. It failed after John McCain's famous thumbs-down on the Senate floor. (4/7)
Again in 2017, she voted in favor of a tax bill that included provisions making it easier to overturn the ACA through the courts.
In October 2019, she voted in support of junk plans that don't cover pre-existing conditions. (5/7)

In 2019 and 2020, she repeatedly declined to take any stance on the lawsuit that aimed to repeal the ACA and its protections - the same lawsuit that will be before the Supreme Court in less than 2 weeks. (6/7)
At this point, McSally's promises are basically worth dirt. And Arizonans know it.
That's why she's about to become possibly the only person in US history to lose two pivotal Senate elections in 2 years. (7/7)
