Texas Rep. Louie Gohmert believes Arizona Sen. John McCain should be recalled while he undergoes treatment for cancer so that Republicans can replace him with someone who will support the party’s latest effort to repeal and replace the 2010 health care law.

“He’s got cancer, it’s a tough battle,” the GOP congressman told “Fox & Friends” on Monday morning. “But stress is a real inhibitor to getting over cancer.”

“I think Arizona could help him, and us. Recall him, let him fight successfully this terrible cancer, and let’s get someone in here who will keep the word he gave last year,” Gohmert said.

McCain said last week he would not support a repeal bill sponsored by GOP Sens. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Bill Cassidy of Louisiana.

Like most Republicans, the 2008 presidential candidate has campaigned for the better part of a decade on repealing and replacing the 2010 law. But twice in the past two months, he has effectively killed GOP efforts to do so. (In July, he voted “no” on the so-called skinny repeal bill Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell put to a floor vote.)
