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In October 2015, she voted for a budget that repealed key components of the ACA.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& #39;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& #39;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& #39;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& #39;s promises are basically worth dirt. And Arizonans know it.
That& #39;s why she& #39;s about to become possibly the only person in US history to lose two pivotal Senate elections in 2 years. (7/7)
