Point taken but if you interview Republicans like this they’ll still just keep lying and denying. This only works because the interviewee tries to evade the question instead of just telling the interviewer she’s a lamestream media fake news liberal pedophile socialist.

This is bad enough that the press absolutely must not let it pass. If some Trump slappy wants free airtime, they don’t get to talk unless they answer for this and if they won’t do it they need to have their mic cut.

They’re going to say it’s fake news made up sources, and the mainstream media will press them 1-3 times, they’ll stick with it and pivot to how he loves our troops and our flag, and that’ll be that.

It’s not the GOP who needs to ‘defend their ballots’ you halfwit.
It crossed my mind to send this to my Trumper friend who, when she really gets into it, tells me socialism is not why Americans went to war and died. But what’s the use?

I’m not surprised, but good lord.
When McCain died, in August 2018, Trump told his senior staff, according to three sources with direct knowledge of this event, “We’re not going to support that loser’s funeral,” and he became furious, according to witnesses, when he saw flags lowered to half-staff. “What the fuck are we doing that for? Guy was a fucking loser,” the president told aides.
In case you needed any further proof John Kelly is a garbage human:
He was accompanied on this visit by John Kelly, who was then the secretary of homeland security, and who would, a short time later, be named the White House chief of staff. The two men were set to visit Section 60, the 14-acre area of the cemetery that is the burial ground for those killed in America’s most recent wars. Kelly’s son Robert is buried in Section 60. A first lieutenant in the Marine Corps, Robert Kelly was killed in 2010 in Afghanistan. He was 29. Trump was meant, on this visit, to join John Kelly in paying respects at his son’s grave, and to comfort the families of other fallen service members. But according to sources with knowledge of this visit, Trump, while standing by Robert Kelly’s grave, turned directly to his father and said, “I don’t get it. What was in it for them?”
I mean he’s right though. If I was pres you couldn’t drag me to that pricks funeral.Who’s gonna be there? Oh only all of the most odious leeches in Washington. Pass.

Yeah I’m gonna go ahead and disagree here. John McCain was an entitled shitbag attention whore of a Senator, no argument. But validating Trump’s behavior here is totally unacceptable.
I would also note McCain had some core decency (his handling of the “HES AN ARAB” lady comes to mind). He also saved Obamacare, whatever his reasons. Doing a false equivalency with Trump is very dangerous and mega-irresponsible.

Singlehandedly standing up to Mitch and Trump and saving Obamacare is more than most Dems have ever done. He had a lot of shitty views and that doesn’t mean he gets a pass but the world would be a worse place without that one vote.

I will always heart this. I don’t know how it doesn’t have more than 57k views, at least 10k views have to be from me

This remains the best gif/meme/whatever of the Trump era.
I don’t remember many distinct days in the Trump era, but I remember the night of this vote and McCain’s vote. It was, indeed, stone cold.

Sure it has a bunch of different anonymous sources that all say the same general thing but
The White House did not return earlier calls for comment, but Alyssa Farah, a White House spokesperson, emailed me this statement shortly after this story was posted: “This report is false. President Trump holds the military in the highest regard. He’s demonstrated his commitment to them at every turn: delivering on his promise to give our troops a much needed pay raise, increasing military spending, signing critical veterans reforms, and supporting military spouses. This has no basis in fact.”
so clearly it’s fake news.
she said he was an Arab, and he said no ma’am, he’s a decent family man
the first thing that came to his mind was that an Arab couldn’t be a decent family man? idk about that one
fuck John McCain and fuck his funeral
