Difference between revisions of "McSally Derangement Syndrome"

Revision as of 03:59, May 23, 2020

McSally Derangement Syndrome is a term coined by Conservapedia to describe the mass derangement and hatred towards current Republican interim senator Martha McSally. A mental disorder that affects both those on the left in addition to some neocons and conservative-turned-anti-Trump RINOs such as Joe Walsh,^[1] common traits include the vast downplaying of McSally's military service, the exploiting of logical fallacies to construct nonsensical arguments, and the overall dependence on feelings over facts. Similar to derangement towards Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, and more recently Susan Collins, McSally Derangement Syndrome has drove many media outlets (including the liberal AZCentral) to publish downright misleading articles attacking the senator, often being quick to downplay major issues in the process.

McSally's “liberal hack” comment

Rebuke

On January 16, 2020, as Sen. Martha McSally was walking by, CNN "reporter" Manu Raju asked:

Senator McSally, should the Senate consider new evidence as part of the impeachment trial?^[2]

To this, McSally replied:

Manu, you're a liberal hack. I'm not talking to you.^[2]

Then followed:

You're not going to comment?^[2]

And concluding:

You're a liberal hack.^[2]

Mass liberal meltdown

CNN snowflakes whined over McSally calling their reporter a “liberal hack”.

After the politically incorrect response towards Manu Raju, a documented shill for CNN propaganda,^[3] liberal snowflakes across social media were in a massive meltdown, continuously whining^[4]^[5]^[6]^[7] over the idea that a Republican senator would dare call a CNN reporter a “hack”. In addition, CNN released a ten-minute video showcasing their top reporters and anchors whining over the comment.^[8] Less than two weeks later, an anti-Trump group released an ad attacking McSally as well.^[9]

Conservative praise

Many conservatives were more supportive of McSally after the latter officially broke from political correctness, with commentator Rush Limbaugh noting it to be a pleasant surprise.^[10] In addition, Mark Levin praised the senator on Twitter^[11] despite having previously holding possible skepticism during the 2018 U.S. Senate election in Arizona.^[12]

Conspiratorial assertions

After the strong rebuke and McSally had registered the domain name http://liberalhack.com as a redirect to a campaign website page, the liberal site Vox asserted that the comment was “an elaborate fundraising ploy”.^[13]

Attacks over pre-existing conditions

Trolls across the internet have attacked Martha McSally for her vote in favor of the American Health Care Act of 2017^[14] to repeal Obamacare, claiming that this contradicts the senator's firm stance on protecting pre-existing conditions. However, despite not having sufficient protective measures for patients, the AHCA does prohibit healthcare providers from denying coverage to those with pre-existing conditions. Thus, it is fallacious to argue that McSally supposedly has little disregard for patients with preexisting conditions, as while having voted to largely repeal the socialist Obamacare and its measures, she concurrently voted to implement a healthcare system that, despite not being perfect, maintains some degree of protection for such.

Neocons/Never Trumpers

Many donors who've given to RINO John McCain currently oppose McSally.

Many Never Trump Republicans and neocons including those who strongly backed RINO John McCain even after the latter hurt the Republican Party in ending ObamaCare repeal attempts^[15] now oppose Martha McSally, as some donors have contributed to McSally's Democrat opponent Mark Kelly in the 2020 U.S. Senate special election in Arizona.^[16] In addition, the former conservative congressman Joe Walsh endorsed Kelly over McSally,^[1] and anti-Trump RINO-turned-Democrat Bill Kristol defended Manu Raju in the rebuke, saying: “I guess I'm liberal”.^[17]

Violence threats

As reported in August 2018, then-representative McSally's office received threatening voicemails from a Tuscon man, who was later sentenced to fifteen months in prison.^[18]
