Sen. Martha McSally (R-AZ) broke her promise to restore $30 million in funding she helped Trump swipe from an Arizona Army base.

Sen. Martha McSally (R-AZ) failed to deliver on a key promise to restore $30 million in funding for an Arizona military base, after she helped Trump siphon those funds to build his long-promised wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.

McSally served on a joint House-Senate conference committee for the annual defense spending bill, the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). The final version of that bill, released on Monday, did not backfill the $3.6 billion Trump took from U.S. military families in order to build his border wall.

Some $30 million of that funding came from Fort Huachuca in Arizona.

McSally's likely Democratic opponent in the 2020 Senate race, former astronaut Mark Kelly, blasted McSally for her legislative failure.

5. Reminder: She was not elected. She LOST, but was appointed by a Trumpist GOP Governor

She lost her Senate bid in 2018 to Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ). But when Sen Kyl retired, Ducey (R) appointed her to replace him.
