McSally Pleads for Outside Funding

January 6, 2020 · 12:31 pm ET · Leave a Comment

The Arizona Mirror obtained audio of Sen. Martha McSally (R-AZ) pleading for outside support during a meeting with Republicans, supposedly saying that while her campaign can’t coordinate with outside groups, “we pray for them every day.”

Said McSally: “We don’t have the resources to fight. If I went up on TV right now, my campaign coffers would be empty. If we’re going to fight back with a TV ad, it’s going to cost us millions of dollars.”
