they rate the claim Mostly False

In the competitive Arizona Senate race, Republican Sen. Martha McSally is taking aim at Democratic opponent Mark Kelly, claiming that he’s a hypocrite who attacked a loan program to help businesses during the pandemic and then took money from the program for his own company.

"Small businesses were hit hard by the pandemic, which is why I fought" for the Paycheck Protection Program, McSally tweeted July 31. "Mark Kelly criticized the program, then turned around and took money for his own multi-million dollar company."

Is McSally right about Kelly? Not really.

An Arizona company that Kelly co-founded and in which he has investments did receive a loan under the Paycheck Protection Program. But Kelly’s campaign said he left the company more than a year ago and had no role in the company’s application for the coronavirus pandemic relief.
