Arizona Republican admits sleeping through vote on massive bill: ‘It’s embarrassing’

Arizona U.S. Rep. David Schweikert confirmed that he missed this week’s House vote on a massive bill central to President Donald Trump’s agenda because he fell asleep.

“It’s embarrassing,” the northeast Valley Republican told KTAR News 92.3 FM’s The Mike Broomhead Show on Friday.
