'Hate That

"Rep.
David
Schweikert
(R-Ariz.)
said in a
newly
unearthed
interview
from 2022
that women
who have
abortions
“hate the
country” and
“hate that
baby”
because they
know if they
carried
their
pregnancies
to term, it
would mean
responsibility.
Schweikert,
who is
currently
facing a
tough
reelection
bid, made
his comments
in July 2022
on a
conservative
radio
program,
“The Seth

In Congress
Stand On
Bill That

Treatments |
"Several
Republican
members of
Arizona’s
congressional
delegation
co-sponsored
legislation
that is
receiving
new scrutiny
after the
Alabama
Supreme
Court ruled
that frozen
embryos are
children.
Republican
Reps. Andy
Biggs, Eli
Crane, Paul
Gosar and Debbie
Lesko co-sponsored
the Life at
Conception
Act, which
would give
constitutional
equal
protection
rights to
the unborn.
And Rep. David
Schweikert co-sponsored
an
identical,
older
version of
the bill in
2021. Unlike
similar
legislation
that
Republicans
ran in the
U.S. Senate
in 2017, the
House bill,
which would
ban nearly
all
abortions
nationwide,
does not
include an
IVF
exception. The
proposal is
drawing
comparisons
to a
decision by
the Alabama
Supreme
Court, which
ruled that
frozen
embryos are
considered
children
under a
Civil
War-era
state law
that lets
parents sue
over the
death of a

Republican Rep. David Schweikert Is Proposing Expanded Access To Controversial Weight-Loss Medications That He Says Would Help Reduce Long-Term Healthcare Costs. |
|
"An Arizona republican has come up with a new plan for cutting the fat from budgets. Cutting the fat from people, what? That's right, area representative David Schweikert to you wants Arizona to start providing the weight loss drug Ozempic to people who receive public health assistance. This is what he said. He said next year one of the GLP ones diozempics go off patent. Schweikert said during a presentation to the Four Peaks Young Republicans, the price is going to crash. What would happen if you took morbidly obese populations on Medicare, Medicaid, Indian Health Services, the VA, and gave them access to it? Then he said, in case you were gonna say this, it's not fat shaming, it's fat loving, Schweikert said" |

“Fanatical

published
profiles of
the U.S.
House
Representative
from
Arizona’s
1st
Congressional
District, David
Schweikert,
a former
real estate
vulture
capitalist
arch-conservative
who
consistently
votes to
repeal the
Affordable

defund
Planned

fails to
understand
how the debt

recorded on
video
high-fiving
Rep. Ben
Quayle on
the floor of
the house
after
denying a
pay increase
to active
duty
soldiers
fighting the
War on
Terror. If
that isn't
tacky
enough, he
also showed
a lack of
character
when he then
turned
around after
redistricting
and ran
against
Quayle in
the 2012 GOP
Primary in
Arizona's
6th
District,
instead of
the 5th,
because he
preferred
how
gerrymandered
it was
compared to
where he
started.
Schweikert
managed to
defeat
Quayle in
part by
running
campaign ads
that
insinuated
he was
bisexual,
and as a
result, the
rest of the
Congressional
delegation
from Arizona
has turned
their backs
on him, and
John Boehner
removed him
from all his
committee
assignments
because, as
one GOP
staffer said
of
Schweikert,
he's "one of
the most
egregious
***holes in
the party".
This is what
his OWN
party thinks
of him. Democrats
don't
disagree,
and
certainly
unions don't
either, with
Schweikert
having
compared
them to
Nazis,
saying,
"Goebbels
would be
proud of
them."" |

Celebrates

Project But
Slams
Inflation
Reduction
Act That
Made It
Possible |
"Rep. David
Schweikert voted
against the
Inflation
Reduction
Act and has
repeatedly
criticized
it as an
“Orwellian-named”
law that he
says doesn’t
reduce
inflation
and
disproportionately
benefits
foreign
companies.
But in June,
the Arizona
Republican
sent his
staff to a
groundbreaking
ceremony at
American
Legion Post
#58 in
Fountain
Hills for a
solar
project that
was made
possible
entirely
through the
IRA." [ . .

"Schweikert
voted
against the
act, and he
voted in
April for
the "Limit,
Save, Grow"
act that
would have
repealed the
clean-energy
measures in
the IRA had
it become

"Schweikert,
a

mostly for
his ethics
troubles and
campaign
finance
violations,
is urging
Arizona
veterans to
take
advantage of
recently
passed
health care
benefits
that he —
Schweikert —
voted
against." [

began with
what is
called the
PACT Act, a
law passed
by Congress
that expands
VA health
care and
benefits for
veterans
exposed to
burn pits,
Agent Orange
and other
toxic
substances.
When the
bill came up
for a vote
in March of
last year,
Schweikert
voted
against it.
When it came
up for a
vote again
in July of
that year he
voted
against it
again." |

"Schweikert made
federal

spending on
diabetes the
focus of a
speech on
the House
floor about
tackling the
national
debt." [ . .

Schweikert’s
lofty
rhetoric is
at odds with
aspects of
his record.
In the last
Congress,
Schweikert
voted
against a
bipartisan
bill that
would have
provided
relief for
diabetes
patients
struggling
to afford
insulin, a
hormone that
allows
people to
regulate
their blood
sugar." [ .
. . ] "In
March 2022,
the House,
then under
Democratic
control,
passed the
Affordable
Insulin Now
Act, which
would have
capped
Medicare and
private
insurance
enrollees’
monthly
out-of-pocket
insulin
costs at
$35. Twelve
Republicans

Warns Of
'End Of Your

Program

Cut |
Rep. Dave
Schweikert (R-AZ)
suggested
during a
speech on
July 20 that
in order to
save the
country,
Congress
needs to
make
difficult cuts
to funding
for Social
Security and
Medicare.
Schweikert
said in a
long speech
on the House
floor that
the national
debt is out
of control
due to an
aging
population
and
mandatory
spending on
programs
such as
Social
Security and
Medicare,
which
provide
retirement
income and

insurance
coverage to
older and
