DSCC Statement On AZ GOP Primary

McSally leaves “bruising” “scorched earth” “GOP slugfest” badly damaged

Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee spokesman David Bergstein released the following statement:

“Congresswoman McSally has spent this long, nasty intra-party fight burning her campaign’s resources and squandering her credibility with the voters who will decide this election. She did and said whatever she thought would help her get ahead politically – like backing a health care agenda that spikes premiums, imposes an age tax and cuts coverage for pre-existing conditions. She’s earned a new nickname over the course of this primary that defines her character and will stick with her: ‘McShifty.’”  

What To Know About Congresswoman Martha “McShifty” McSally

Arizona Newspapers Called Her “McShifty,” Saying She Was Caught “In A Downward Spiral, Leaving Previously Held Principles In Her Wake.”

  • Arizona Republic: Montini: Reasons to be McSkeptical of Martha McSally. Columnist EJ Montini labeled her “McShifty,” “McSkittish,” “McSlippery” and a “political changeling,” writing “what we don’t know is if she wants to be Martha McSally. Because that person – whoever it is – keeps changing.” 
  • Arizona Republic: Roberts: Martha McSally’s downward spiral continues with a vanishing DACA video. “The not-so-great Martha McSally Makeover powers on as the southern Arizona fighter pilot continues her startling downward spiral, leaving previously held principles in her wake. […] ‘Since launching her campaign for the U.S. Senate, McSally has become virtually unrecognizable.’” 
  • Arizona Republic: Roberts: Martha McSally looks small over her snub of John McCain. “Snubbing McCain in a desperate attempt to win a few votes or a presidential pat on the head? That’s something I wouldn’t have expected from a former combat pilot, who once upon a time must have had a backbone […] McSally, in her snub of John McCain, demonstrates that politics and personal ambition trump decency every time.” 
  • Arizona Republic: Díaz: Who is the real Martha McSally? Never mind. It doesn’t matter. “In just a few weeks, the anti-Trump Martha McSally has transformed herself into a profanity-laden, tough-as-nails, build-the-wall kind of gal kissing up to the president.” 
  • Arizona Republic: Díaz: “Don’t let McSally fool you.”  “In just a few months, she went from a fairly moderate, reasonable congresswoman from southern Arizona to a wacky and distasteful partisan who can’t even acknowledge Sen. John McCain, who’s battling brain cancer […] .Arizonans deserve better than an actress who can put on one face to woo the Trump crowd only to reveal a new one after the primary. Don’t let McSally fool you.”
