The Tucson Weekly: A secret recording shows U.S. Rep. McSally has some concerns about reelection.

This is the same story referred to in the recent DU thread titled Republicans unhappy that voters tie them to Trump, which links to a Raw Story article, but Raw Story omits a lot of interesting material from their source, "The Skinny", a feature of the Tucson Weekly:

----------------------------------------------

Admittedly, McSally was making these comments as she was asking the bankers to open their checkbooks for her reelection campaign, so it could well be that she was just doing the ol' fear-mongering-for-dollars act.

McSally's comments came to light after some of McSally's critics—including Kristen Randall, the leader of Indivisible Southern Arizona—ordered tickets to a talk McSally was giving at a luncheon for the Arizona Bankers Association.

Someone on Team McSally, however, appears to have taken a closer look at who was attending the event, because four of the five members of the group received emails about two hours before the lunch informing them that their tickets had been revoked. "They caught onto us," Randall says with a laugh.

But the fifth member (whose identity The Skinny is not privy to) did manage to appear bankerly enough to crash the party—and the spy recorded McSally's entire speech for the Randall's group, and from there, it fell into our hands.

I won't click on a rawstory link.

McSally haz SAD! The comments are rather truth telling. She doesn't represent them, she represent big bizness.
