Losing to Democratic US Senate Candidate Mark Kelly, a former astronaut and husband of the beloved former Congresswoman Gabby Gifford, in fundraising and in the polls, Martha McSally has recently been showing signs of desperation. Most recently, the Arizona Democratic Party obtained an audio of McSally’s remarks at a fundraiser in which she encouraged donors to fast, or skip a meal, and send her the money instead.

NEW: @SenMcSallyAZ is "telling her supporters that they could come up with more campaign cash to donate, if they just 'fast a meal.'"

As an Arizona Democratic state senator tweeted, McSally is doing nothing to help those who are unemployed and trying to survive, following Mitch McConnell’s lead to take the month off while those who have run out of money or will soon are left without any Coronavirus relief funds.

There are many Arizonans who are already being forced to fast many meals to ensure their kids are fed, ration their prescription meds, and go without other basic needs because of the policies of @SenMcSallyAZ and the @GOP.

Maybe the better option is to vote for @CaptMarkKelly. https://t.co/mfBtHXlQnO

Indeed, McSally may actually drag Trump down with her on November 3, helping Joe Biden to win the state.

Senators receive a tax-payer funded salary of $174,000 a year.

Meanwhile, are there any McSally supporters who are going to skip a meal for her? Raise your hands, please.
