After debating into early hours of the morning, Senator McCain shocked his colleagues by voting "no" on the "skinny repeal" of Obamacare. CNN's Brooke Baldwin points out the various reactions across the room.
As a man facing his own mortality, I am glad he doesn't want the last votes he casts to be those that would arguably kill 43,000 Americans. THAT would just be unconscionable. And Senator McCain is a way better man than that. He's one Republican I could have voted for had Obama not been his opponent and Palin not his VP pick.
McCain was way more moderate in the 2000s. Wanted immigration reform, and was worried about climate change. Its a shame that Ted Kennedy and McCain were so old in these last few decades. The Senate needed some of the old guard that worked together well.
No. McCain was old school soldier. He believed in the office of the president and as commander in chief, the protector of the constitution. I don’t defend this man but he did the right thing at the right time.
When asked why a Republican would vote NO, Senator McCain gave the best reason of all.... He said "I don't work for the Republican Party..... I work for the people of Arizona, including the 600,000+ Arizona Residents this bill would leave with no insurance..." The only reason to repeal the ACA would be if it was being replaced by something better...
Thomas J Sanford yes, and the GOP should have done a better job making a new bill. Truth be told, the affordable care act should never have been passed. Too many people rely on it. Medicaid should of instead been expanded
lmao yeah dude, getting fucked due to "preexisting conditions" bullshit is just fine. Also, people blame the premiums issue on obamacare, but premiums were rising a lot before then too. From what data i can find, in 2010-2016 you see yearly annual premium increases of like 5%, 10%, and 4%. But in 2000-2010 you also see premium increases per year like 11%, 6%, 10%, 12%, 5%. The problem predates obamacare, as far as I can tell, but I'm not a expert on this data.
It really goes to show Bernie’s level of intellect. He knows what to expect of people. He’s was McCain’s constituent for years by this point and he knew what he was gonna do as soon as he walked in
Your making history from California, thank you for doing what is right for our nation. I hope once Biden takes office we still stand proud and take the world stage be there for the world as we return to normal and show the world that we Americans have come together to say hate has no place in the white house again. I hope we never see a person like trump ever again to ever take office.
Not American here, but sincerely thank you Arizonians. Trump didn't offer him a shred of respect because he didn't embody what Trump thought made a real man. You guys showed Trump that was a big mistake, and I'm sure McCain would be proud.
So, a law that requires everyone to keep their insurance, somehow you didn't get to keep your insurance. Something had to be wrong in there but Obamacare ain't it.
mjblue84 if you lose your job and insurance you can always go to the county office and enroll for Medicaid but it’s a long process. You can buy out an insurance as well but the deductible is much higher. That’s what my dad did. He got his Medicare and purchased a secondary insurance through AARP. He pays his copays and covers the rest of 20% what Medicare hasn’t covered.

@BigDoob420 WOW dude. So much hate. I think you may need to speak to someone about that. If that is how you view someone that disagrees with your political beliefs then you must be a real pleasure to be around. Chill mate, have a beer, take a deep breath and I really hope you have a great day, sounds like you could use one. :-)

@@AndyM_323YYY It was also a choice that the GOP forced on him, as she was not his first choice according to reports. There's a fair chance he would have won if he'd picked almost literally anyone else.
If you are not sure who you want to vote for when you get to the polls, consider the fact that the current President thinks John McCain was and is a loser. I was raised by democrats. But even my dad who is a liberal, gave me a book about John McCain when I was 16. He told me "son I agree with very little that this man believes, but I honor every bit of what he stands for. Read this book and we can talk about why and how you can admire a man, who you so vehemently disagree with politically." That lesson seems more valuable than ever today.
Thank you for sharing such a refreshing outlook on life. This is how honoring one's collective identity and society's spirit should be. As a Brazilian, I could only hope the people from my country just slightly followed through words such as the ones said by your father. I can only hope Biden wins so that greater pressure may be taken for the return of diplomatic regularity. Maybe then this spirit can be strengthened in the hearts of our people as well. I wish the best of luck.
You must be on the government dole. I have to pay for my doctor, so your win is my loss. Hopefully, I too, one day can get on disability and get the free ride that this traitor gives you.
@@A.I.Friends In the rest of the civilized west, even Obamacare is a joke. But please keep fighting progress, gotta keep those medical bills in the tens or hundreds of thousands.
Fish Killl traitor? Ok i guess hes a traitor for having balls trump dodged the draft like a coward and doesnt pay taxes to help the army LIKE A COWARD john McCain had more balls as an 81 year old man than coward trump ever did in his prime

Zoid No, Arizona implemented ACA by accepting federal funding for the expansion of medicaid. The ununisured population in the state went from 17% to 10%. The state's leadership was in support of ACA by their actions even through they would lie to their based and say they were not in support, especially Gov Brewer who led AZ ACA implementation with vigor. McCain was just supporting his state's decision. Also, if you remember the healthcare exchange idea originally came from a republican thinktank and was later introduced as a bill by republicans in 1993 as a counter proposal to Hillary Clinton's single payer proposal. McCain supported that 1993 republican proposal that Romney (a republican) would later implement in Massachusetts. Obamacare, is in fact, a republican idea, with republican legislative authors, and the only state to ever implement it was done by a republican Gov. McCain was really just being a party man by supporting the republican orthodoxy on the issue. He was not being a maverick. He didn't leave the party, they republican party left him.
No, McCain was never a rubber stamp Republican. He always voted for what made sense, even against his own party. Remember, he defended Obama while he was running against him when a member of his audience was showing off her tin foil hat.
Trump campaigned for Mccain when reelection came in Arizona which he would lose without Trump but just because Trump believes to be a hero you need to do a war special feat and not to be captured but it hurts so much Mccain that he could not help voting thumb down on GOP health care and criticized so much Obamacare, needless to say it hurts to see an a non-politician with no help from GOP win the election which he lost stupidly to Obama in 2008 where he said to a woman in a city hall wondering about Obama credentials and be an arab muslim, Mccain said to this woman, Obama is a good decent and good family man. Instead of saying I don´t know I don´t know the man well , congress do the vetting.
The most important vote Senator McCain ever made, proof that he WAS and still IS a true American hero and a leader of men with a conscience. The only Republican I would trust, and the bravest.
True, I used to respect the republican party for what it was. I might have not agreed with many of their policies but they were at least respectable. With Trump as their leader I feel like many of them forgot that they are supposed to be loyal to the US not Trump.
That vote was the single most best thing McCain did before he passed away that might have saved millions of people from being denied coverage. God Bless him
ZAPSTER McCain and Bernie are actually rather close despite their different beliefs so I wouldn't be surprised if Bernie is the one who talked some sense into him
HotRodX funny things is the left is mad KRplus and Facebook and Twitter for allowing crazy lying conspiracy theorists like Alex Jones on their platforms. The left and it’s media are not united. But the right and FOX are.
I come back here every now again just to see McConnell's hopes and dreams of gutting the ACA go up in smoke. God it's going to be satisfying calling him minority leader after a decade of dealing with his bullshit.
he predicted the 08 crash when Allen Greenspan a noble winning economist couldn't and refused to listen. so I'm pretty sure he does even more so then the annoying orange sitting at the white house
well, that orange man predicted even before bernie. Also predicted the rising of the morgage in 13. No wonder the dow is doing all time highs with his presidency and the economy is flourishing. Somebody with business mentality is finally improving your economy
He has the support of Arizona so no need to worry about him. When McCain was Republican Arizona was Red but when the Republican Party insulted McCain Arizona was more than willing to turn Blue. Even in death Arizona would support him.
@@Jay-cm9tr true; Martha McSally would lose a GOP primary to John’s urn. The nuts, like Trent Franks and Andy Biggs, wouldn’t even make it to the runoff if they had to be elected at-large and not just from their shitty districts where their stupid dunebilly supporters live. The AZ Republican party is burning lol
Conservative ? You mean the "trigger the libs at all costs even self-sabotage" crowd ? They aren't conservatives, and they're ready for any mental gymnastics and excuses for bad or contradictory policies, and long as it satistfies their lust for "vindication" against perceived "libs".
I lost all my docs and health insurance due to Obamacare. McCain made sure I still had to pay a penalty. Most people did NOT benefit from the ACA. Most signups came from those who LOST coverage due to ACA implementation.
@@mrsmiley_1468 That's good. Glad you're still here. My problem was that the healthy lost insurance, the sick gained insurance, and bills for the sick were paid by the healthy(through the penalty). It's great that you benefitted, but I certainly did not.
@@claytonwatts3518 as Obama said leaving office it is not perfect and needs to be improved upon. I would say a majority of Americans would agree. I am sure if Republicans came to the table and were like deductibles are too high Democrats would be more than willing to work legislation to lower them.
I actually spent a lot of time over the last few years watching Senate meetings because... well.. because I'm a nerd. This scene is so incredibly, incredibly rare. Most of the time the room is empty. Even during votes, they're spread out over an hour or so and senators come in one at a time to vote. It's incredibly rare for the room to be full of senators and incredibly rare for there to be any level of anything that might mistakenly be called drama. What a moment.
Red Coyote Jam Garden + Chasity MAGA People seem to have a lot to say about a dead war hero, who is not even alive to defend himself anymore. Shows where people's level of respect is at. And to those who criticize him i ask, what have you guys/girls done for this country? Because the actions I see and the way you're portraying yourselves as to talking down about a man that's not even around to defend himself anymore, seems MAJOR COWARDLY to me. I don't agree with everything Mccain has said, far from it, and you don't have to either, but give this man the respect and decency, as a war hero, and as a human being. That's something you can never take away what he's done for this country, far greater a man, American and patriot than half of you can even dream you were. Your parent's should've taught some of you people respect. Very disgusting what I'm seeing in these comment sections. RIP MCCAIN
Shows how good politicians can actually be when they have nothing to lose. He knew he was going to die soon so he didn’t have to worry about re-election and did what he actually thought was best instead of what McConnell told him to do
Ivan Molina why, what age are you? Do you even pay for healthcare? When you do you'll look back on the decision as one of the worst McCain has ever made.
Sorry to hear you hate America so much. You know people were happy with American healthcare before the socialists ruined it, and now they are not? This is not rocket science.
I think it's especially important to remember the fact that Trump repeatedly mocked McCain and said he likes people who weren't captured. McCain made some of his final moments in the Senate about standing up to Trump's admin, so again, it's relevant to his life.
Hayden, I would love for you to try and explain how Donald Trump IS NOT a traitor to the United States, and to the world in general. Michael Cohen just recently replied, UNDER OATH (which means if this is false then Cohen gets slapped with a perjury offense but why would he do that?) that Donald Trump directed him to make payments to porn stars using "donated" money which means that Trump is now guilty of violating campaign finance law. It is also pretty plain and simple to see that Donald also broke the emoluments clause by accepting help from a foreign entity to try and influence an election. Need I go on?
Dupesoup Then no one would watch the news or even care. Each news station has chosen a demographic to target so that they might obtain the most viewers. More controversial content brings more views. More views mean bigger advertising contracts. Which in turn leads to bigger profits. Capitalism at its finest.
Man, I wish there were more senators with that kind of integrity around now. He knew his party had nothing better to replace Obamacare with, and that repealing it would hurt Americans, and he did the right thing. If Mitch McConnell cared enough to learn, he could learn a lot from that guy. McCain was a great American, May he Rest In Peace.
And in the end, he stood alone just to do the right thing, the old school thing...he did what was best for Americans and not for his party. I have mad respect for that. Rest easy, Senator McCain, you did really good. 🙏🕊️🫡🇺🇲❤️
Yet he has his own special healthcare for that! Not like us peasants... Now get back to work millions of illegal aliens need their FREE housing, healthcare and education on the back of the American tax payer!!!
AmericanWarfare Lmao. You know how hard it is to stay in america without getting caught if you don't make fake social secruity numbers so that you can pay taxes? I'd say over 90% of undetected illegal immigrants are blue collared, pay taxes in order to look legit, and are ussually getting paied less than white blue collared men, ultimately helping the economy. If it weren't for illegal stuff like this, the economy would collaspe. Drug money that was circulated in the late 2000's is widely believed to be the only reason why the real estate market got better and didn't collaspe.
John Doe I heard other illegals talk about how they have income and abuse the system. Housing, Medicaid, and other benefits. You can't tell me it is not happening when I have seen it happen.
bryan park , you're seriously arguing the use of fake ssn's somehow legitimizes illegals? So hardworking, LEGAL citizens can't find work as they're undercut by illegal fucks w/ fake paperwork. And somehow u think this is good for the economy. Fuckin moron.
This was John McCain’s finest hour. Thank you for your service Sir, even though we may not have agreed on everything I still respected you and your presence will be dearly missed on the Senate.
I didn't agree with a lot of the Obamacare policies, but this is just amazing. John McCain was willing to put what he believed would do better for the country over the conformity of the rest of the GOP.

You know what, people can bash Mr. McCain on his vote all they want and I know this happened a long time ago, but looking back on it, it goes to show that some members of our Congress will not simply follow their party blindly, but make a judgement call for what they think is best, like they should. Thank you John McCain and God Bless!!

Those nimrods don't know that they're fighting against their own self-interest.
I come back here again sometimes. When McCain died, I remember my dad being really sad. He's a Democrat but served in the Air Force, and held a lot of respect for Mr. McCain. To the people of Arizona, please continue to remember this. You guys did it once and I have faith you can do it again. 🕊️❤
I am so sick and tired of these government officials not caring about the people that elected them into office. I have so much respect for John McCain at this moment. Thank you sir
Mccain was a pain. Adopted a black child. And loved her and let it be known he was not the one. He was for the poor, and called out racism. His daughters are super close. Megan is a spoiled daddys girl. Is his only fault. And yes he gets her cushy jobs. And shes filthy rich. But her IQ is up there
I love how when John Mccain voted he immediately turned and looked Mcconell in the eye and didn't look away. He looked him right in the face man to man after doing that. No way Mcconell or Trump would have the guts to look someone in the eye after doing the same.
In a time where few Republicans could fully oppose Trump's tyranny, John McCain stood for what is right. For that I will always respect this man. RIP Maverick.
You make me sick you vile piece of shit. This is not tyranny. Obamacare has hurt the middle class. Insurance premiums for a family are the same as a mortgage now. But I bet you dont give a shit you probably have free Medicaid
@@thomaschittenden5457 if insurance premiums for family are the same as a mortgage now, that has nothing to do with Obama care, do a little bit of research, and you find out that it's Republicans in the state that insurance is at, not doing their part to help keep premiums under control. Obama care doesn't have any mechanism that would cause premiums to go that high. But why would you care about facts
McCain was indeed a real public servant with a heart for the country and for the people, without any selfish greed or a party-biased loyalty. Without him there and then, could you imagine how many Americans would have been left without medication or any treatment, because of lack of coverage of insurance?
Lack of insurance doesn't equate to the lack of care. Well done, the ACA law has stayed intact for the time being, despite being unconstitutional and economically unsound. Eventually, it'll be repealed. You just delayed the inevitable.
CNN doing actual reporting, providing content that actually informs us about things we may not have noticed ourselves. That's not fake news. (At least not this time...)
cosmodog1803 He fought for his conutry and now he fights for people less fortunate instead of blindly voting with his party because reflection is really.only what matters. What a traitor
Aiaeki_9673 Akpamgbo it means there is no more possibility to repeal obamacare aka The affordable Care act. Hence the Republicans failed their 7 year mission, by a big name in the republican party.
it means McCain just fuked over everyone who has to pay for their health care . just becuz trumped called him out on his war record as a blabber mouth for the n viet cong
-------------- still here in November of 2023 ------ because this moment is epic history! McCain was an honorable man and I have the greatest respect and admiration for him, his legacy, and his service to our country!

Demonic Hellstorm lol I love this comment
CNN edited the video. McCain actually voted yes on the bill and gave a thumbs up. #FakeNews
Demonic Hellstorm throwing the word bitch into a sentence doesn't make it funnier
*Bitch*
Kawthar Taleb swearing is a good tool for humor. so yes, just adding the word bitch into a sentence can make it humorous if used right, and it was.
If you are not sure who you want to vote for when you get to the polls, consider the fact that the current President thinks John McCain was and is a loser. I was raised by democrats. But even my dad who is a liberal, gave me a book about John McCain when I was 16. He told me "son I agree with very little that this man believes, but I honor every bit of what he stands for. Read this book and we can talk about why and how you can admire a man, who you so vehemently disagree with politically." That lesson seems more valuable than ever today.
Your father sounds like a wonderful parent, one that I, in this particular sense, would aspire to become...
Thank you for sharing such a refreshing outlook on life. This is how honoring one's collective identity and society's spirit should be. As a Brazilian, I could only hope the people from my country just slightly followed through words such as the ones said by your father. I can only hope Biden wins so that greater pressure may be taken for the return of diplomatic regularity. Maybe then this spirit can be strengthened in the hearts of our people as well. I wish the best of luck.

He knew he did not have time much left in the world. He saw to make changes for the greater good.
Country over party.
A man with ethics and morals.
Showed respect to Democrats and protected democracy.
Displayed true character.
Rest easy, Senator.
Nope, he did as he was told. Don't so fucking niave...
Zoid No, Arizona implemented ACA by accepting federal funding for the expansion of medicaid. The ununisured population in the state went from 17% to 10%. The state's leadership was in support of ACA by their actions even through they would lie to their based and say they were not in support, especially Gov Brewer who led AZ ACA implementation with vigor. McCain was just supporting his state's decision. Also, if you remember the healthcare exchange idea originally came from a republican thinktank and was later introduced as a bill by republicans in 1993 as a counter proposal to Hillary Clinton's single payer proposal. McCain supported that 1993 republican proposal that Romney (a republican) would later implement in Massachusetts. Obamacare, is in fact, a republican idea, with republican legislative authors, and the only state to ever implement it was done by a republican Gov. McCain was really just being a party man by supporting the republican orthodoxy on the issue. He was not being a maverick. He didn't leave the party, they republican party left him.
No, McCain was never a rubber stamp Republican. He always voted for what made sense, even against his own party.
Remember, he defended Obama while he was running against him when a member of his audience was showing off her tin foil hat.
Trump campaigned for Mccain when reelection came in Arizona which he would lose without Trump but just because Trump believes to be a hero you need to do a war special feat and not to be captured but it hurts so much Mccain that he could not help voting thumb down on GOP health care and criticized so much Obamacare, needless to say it hurts to see an a non-politician with no help from GOP win the election which he lost stupidly to Obama in 2008 where he said to a woman in a city hall wondering about Obama credentials and be an arab muslim, Mccain said to this woman, Obama is a good decent and good family man. Instead of saying I don´t know I don´t know the man well , congress do the vetting.
Red Coyote - There was this black eye and the media never exposed what Sheriff Joe Arpaio exposed, unbelievable.
The most important vote Senator McCain ever made, proof that he WAS and still IS a true American hero and a leader of men with a conscience. The only Republican I would trust, and the bravest.

Even during votes, they're spread out over an hour or so and senators come in one at a time to vote. It's incredibly rare for the room to be full of senators and incredibly rare for there to be any level of anything that might mistakenly be called drama. What a moment.

People seem to have a lot to say about a dead war hero, who is not even alive to defend himself anymore. Shows where people's level of respect is at. And to those who criticize him i ask, what have you guys/girls done for this country? Because the actions I see and the way you're portraying yourselves as to talking down about a man that's not even around to defend himself anymore, seems MAJOR COWARDLY to me. I don't agree with everything Mccain has said, far from it, and you don't have to either, but give this man the respect and decency, as a war hero, and as a human being. That's something you can never take away what he's done for this country, far greater a man, American and patriot than half of you can even dream you were. Your parent's should've taught some of you people respect. Very disgusting what I'm seeing in these comment sections.
RIP MCCAIN
Shows how good politicians can actually be when they have nothing to lose. He knew he was going to die soon so he didn’t have to worry about re-election and did what he actually thought was best instead of what McConnell told him to do

I think it's especially important to remember the fact that Trump repeatedly mocked McCain and said he likes people who weren't captured. McCain made some of his final moments in the Senate about standing up to Trump's admin, so again, it's relevant to his life.
Hayden, I would love for you to try and explain how Donald Trump IS NOT a traitor to the United States, and to the world in general. Michael Cohen just recently replied, UNDER OATH (which means if this is false then Cohen gets slapped with a perjury offense but why would he do that?) that Donald Trump directed him to make payments to porn stars using "donated" money which means that Trump is now guilty of violating campaign finance law. It is also pretty plain and simple to see that Donald also broke the emoluments clause by accepting help from a foreign entity to try and influence an election. Need I go on?

If Mitch McConnell cared enough to learn, he could learn a lot from that guy. McCain was a great American, May he Rest In Peace.
And in the end, he stood alone just to do the right thing, the old school thing...he did what was best for Americans and not for his party. I have mad respect for that. Rest easy, Senator McCain, you did really good. 🙏🕊️🫡🇺🇲❤️
Honestly that was some top notch analysis of the room. I’ve never been so locked in to a senate vote before
Perhaps, the man realized health care is important, being that he was just treated for a brain bleed, and soon cancer too. Get well Mr. McCain.
Yet he has his own special healthcare for that! Not like us peasants... Now get back to work millions of illegal aliens need their FREE housing, healthcare and education on the back of the American tax payer!!!
AmericanWarfare oh please you already put way more in military and THEY actualy do jackshit. Yet you kiss their ass.. Wake up you brainwashed freak
AmericanWarfare Lmao. You know how hard it is to stay in america without getting caught if you don't make fake social secruity numbers so that you can pay taxes? I'd say over 90% of undetected illegal immigrants are blue collared, pay taxes in order to look legit, and are ussually getting paied less than white blue collared men, ultimately helping the economy. If it weren't for illegal stuff like this, the economy would collaspe. Drug money that was circulated in the late 2000's is widely believed to be the only reason why the real estate market got better and didn't collaspe.
John Doe I heard other illegals talk about how they have income and abuse the system. Housing, Medicaid, and other benefits. You can't tell me it is not happening when I have seen it happen.

I didn't agree with a lot of the Obamacare policies, but this is just amazing. John McCain was willing to put what he believed would do better for the country over the conformity of the rest of the GOP.
He did it for spite because Donald Trump had the balls to tell the truth about the whoremonger.

I come back here again sometimes. When McCain died, I remember my dad being really sad. He's a Democrat but served in the Air Force, and held a lot of respect for Mr. McCain. To the people of Arizona, please continue to remember this. You guys did it once and I have faith you can do it again. 🕊️❤
My favorite part (Outside of the No) was how he looked into the eyes of Mitch for just the right amount of time for the message to get across.
I am so sick and tired of these government officials not caring about the people that elected them into office. I have so much respect for John McCain at this moment. Thank you sir
Mccain was a pain. Adopted a black child. And loved her and let it be known he was not the one. He was for the poor, and called out racism. His daughters are super close. Megan is a spoiled daddys girl. Is his only fault. And yes he gets her cushy jobs. And shes filthy rich. But her IQ is up there
I love how when John Mccain voted he immediately turned and looked Mcconell in the eye and didn't look away. He looked him right in the face man to man after doing that. No way Mcconell or Trump would have the guts to look someone in the eye after doing the same.
"I wanna see the look on your face as I take it all away, Mitch."

You make me sick you vile piece of shit. This is not tyranny. Obamacare has hurt the middle class. Insurance premiums for a family are the same as a mortgage now. But I bet you dont give a shit you probably have free Medicaid
@d byko and soy too
@@thomaschittenden5457 if insurance premiums for family are the same as a mortgage now, that has nothing to do with Obama care, do a little bit of research, and you find out that it's Republicans in the state that insurance is at, not doing their part to help keep premiums under control. Obama care doesn't have any mechanism that would cause premiums to go that high. But why would you care about facts
Even now I still come back to this moment to watch the john nccain "mic drop" fucking legend. With love from across the pond!
McCain was indeed a real public servant with a heart for the country and for the people, without any selfish greed or a party-biased loyalty. Without him there and then, could you imagine how many Americans would have been left without medication or any treatment, because of lack of coverage of insurance?
Lack of insurance doesn't equate to the lack of care.
Well done, the ACA law has stayed intact for the time being, despite being unconstitutional and economically unsound.
Eventually, it'll be repealed. You just delayed the inevitable.

cosmodog1803 ya.. a guy who almost got killed in was and got fought for his country but disagreed with his party.. fucking traitor right?
cosmodog1803 He fought for his conutry and now he fights for people less fortunate instead of blindly voting with his party because reflection is really.only what matters. What a traitor
He sure does!
I may not agree with everything MaCain says but this was a badass move and no one can say it wasn't.
Avi Hunsanger I'm confused what was so big about the thumbs down?!? (Sorry if this is a really dumb question)
Aiaeki_9673 Akpamgbo it means there is no more possibility to repeal obamacare aka The affordable Care act. Hence the Republicans failed their 7 year mission, by a big name in the republican party.
Oscar Garcia No more possibility? Lmao what?
it means McCain just fuked over everyone who has to pay for their health care . just becuz trumped called him out on his war record as a blabber mouth for the n viet cong
I gained more respect for McCain from this. Not just his thumb down, but that he put his treatment aside, to give his thumb down.
One of the most honorable men in US history
-------------- still here in November of 2023 ------ because this moment is epic history! McCain was an honorable man and I have the greatest respect and admiration for him, his legacy, and his service to our country!
This will literally go down as one of the most memorable moments in history.
The homie Bernie Sanders with the leaning swag
the homie was like hey check this out some s***fi to go down 😅
I didn't agree with McCain's politics but his heroism in Vietnam and civility to his opponents makes me respect the hell out of him
I could watch this over and over...
Daaaaamn....you can hate McCain but this was one of the most badass moments in American politics!
Dramatic as fuck! Good on you, John-o.
No, McCain is a coward
Mandilo23 in what ways did his personality differ
Agulani not if you live in Arizona and obama care premiums are up over 100% he completely shit on his state fuck him
"Mccain is a coward"
- Trump supporter
Mccain was a pow bub. What would you know about that?
