Her office then said the comments were not meant to be public.GOP Sen. Martha McSally of Arizona said she won't commit to additional coronavirus relief funds to cities and states looking for financial support amid the coronavirus pandemic, saying that "blue" cities and states look at taxpayers as a "cash cow" for them.
McSally made the comment, first reported by the AZ Mirror, during an hour-long virtual town hall at the end of April hosted by the mayor of Surprise, Arizona, Skip Hall, The Arizona Republic reported.
"I'm just going to be frank with you guys, OK," she said during the event. "This is not the time for states and cities unlike Arizona, unlike Surprise who have mismanaged their budgets over the course of many decades, for them to use this as an opportunity to see you, as a taxpayer in Arizona, as a cash cow for them in whatever city you want to talk about, whether it's Chicago or New York or whatever."
"This is not the time for us in Arizona and you in Surprise to be paying for mismanagement in Chicago," McSally continued. "That's what, actually, the left is advocating for right now. What we're advocating for is we provide specific relief."
A spokeswoman for McSally's office told The Republic that the senator's comments were not meant to be public.

You mean like Mitt Romney's 47% remarks?
This is their new talking point. The Blue states are now the takers. Even though those states always support the Red states with their tax dollars.
Geez.
