A Republican congressman is encouraging Arizona to recall Senator John McCain because of his recent brain cancer diagnosis.

During an interview with Fox & Friends on Monday, Texas Cong. Louie Gohmert said Arizona should recall Sen. McCain because stress prevents recovery from cancer.

Cong. Gohmert also criticized the Arizona senator for opposing the efforts of the Republican Party to repeal Obamacare. McCain promised Americans that he would help repeal the existing health care law.

According to him, “Nothing inhibits recovery from cancer. I think Arizona could help him and us. Recall him. Let him fight successfully this terrible cancer.” He added, “Let’s get someone in here who will give the word he gave last year.

On Friday, McCain announced that he could not support the latest GOP healthcare bill to repeal Obamacare. He said, “I cannot in good conscience vote for the Graham-Cassidy proposal.” The Arizona senator emphasized that health care reform legislation is “too important” and “too many lives are at risk.” It must be a “product of a regular order in the Senate.”
