Martha McSally's New Anti-China Ad is Caked With Hypocrisy


On Friday, Sen. Martha McSally (R-AZ) released a new campaign ad titled "American Workers." She spends the ad attacking Democrats -- specifically former vice president and presumptive presidential nominee Joe Biden, as well as Mark Kelly, her opponent in the upcoming election -- for supporting outsourcing American jobs to China and owning money in Chinese investments. The narrator says the following throughout the 30-second ad:

"Who will hold China accountable? Not Joe Biden and Mark Kelly. Biden voted to send our jobs to China. Kelly owns hundreds of thousands of dollars in Chinese investments. And his business is funded by a Chinese company tied to the communist regime. Martha McSally is fighting to provide tax credits to American businesses that bring factories and jobs back from China. Senator McSally puts American workers first."

While McSally claims that it is very important to stand up to China and its "communist regime," the senator is far from above accepting help for her campaign from those who lobby for companies that have outsourced their jobs to China and engage in overseas manufacturing there. The five companies that do this the most are Apple, Nike, Cisco Systems, Walmart, and IBM. Below is a list of how much money McSally has taken from lobbyists for these companies this election cycle (note that some lobbyists may lobby for multiple companies; they will only be listed under one).






Given the campaign contributions she has taken from those representing companies that outsource jobs to and engage in manufacturing with China, her attacks on her political opponents are demonstrably hypocritical. So, just understand that if you ever hear her talk tough on China, behind the scenes, she is no better than what she claims her opponents to be.
