Phony "conservatives" colluding with the [[Democrat Party]] have tried smearing Martha McSally, such as one video by an anti-Trump website calling itself "[[The Lincoln Project]]".<ref>[https://lincolnproject.us/news/mcsally-release/ MARTHA MCSALLY, TRUMP HACK]</ref> The video, in resemblance of mainstream fake news, claimed that McSally lost in 2018 "badly" (McSally lost by 2.4%) and that [[John McCain]] was a "hero" (McCain betrayed fellow POWs<ref>[http://jimbovard.com/blog/2008/09/27/mccains-great-betrayal-of-fellow-pows/ McCain’s Great Betrayal of Fellow POWs]</ref>).

A website calling itself "Honest Arizona" made cherry-picked, deceptively misleading claims about McSally, such as saying that she allegedly voted "twice" to cut [[Medicare]].<ref>[https://www.honestarizona.org/ Honest Arizona]</ref> This is likely a parallel to [[Kyrsten Sinema]]'s 2018 campaign's claim that McSally allegedly voted to cut [[Social Security]] and Medicare funding,<ref>[https://kyrstensinema.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Medicare.pdf Medicare.pdf]</ref> something that even the liberal [[PolitiFact]] only deems "half true",<ref name="PolitiFact on McSally's vote on Medicare">[https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2018/aug/14/kyrsten-sinema/fact-checking-kyrsten-sinemas-claim-about-medicare/ PolitiFact | Fact or False]</ref> as McSally's votes on certain bills '''''may indirectly''''' lead to Medicare cuts and Social Security restructuring, although that would only have a lessened effect on the already unsustainable programs.
