Brian Williams Cheers McCain’s ‘Moral Courage’ to Preserve ObamaCare
Media Research Center ^ | July 31, 2017 | Scott Whitlock

Late night MSNBC anchor Brian Williams on Friday cheered the “moral courage” of John McCain and two other Republicans to derail ObamaCare repeal efforts. The journalist also hoped for GOP “heroes” in the mode of Republicans who stood up during Watergate. Narrating McCain’s vote against repeal, Williams touted, “In the well of the Senate, it came down to one very dramatic moment... Much was made of that moment, a moment of moral courage, a man staring down his own mortality yet again.” 

Not wanting to leave out the other two GOP moderates, he asked former radio host Charlie Sykes: “My question to you: Is that kind of courage, for people cheering them on, going to be contagious?”

McCain went against every promise about Obamacare that he made to the voters in his last election campaign.

I guess that is supposedly "courage."

Do they ever cheer the moral courage of the people who deplore the murder of 50+ million babies?

In 2010 McCain made all kinds of promises and assurances to the Arizona Republican primary voters to fight off a primary challenge and then publicly completely reneged on his promises two days after the primary

McCain is scum

“I haven’t seen bravery like that since I held Leonidas’ shield at Thermopylae,” said Williams...

Or the moral courage of those of us stuck with health insurance we can’t afford and can’t afford to use?

We are courageously paying for millions of freeloaders to have free “health care”, but cannot have our own, in spite of thousands of dollars we pay.

Sounds like not only the Congress got good deals from BamiCare but the media must be on the same list, no wonder they don’t want BamiCare to end...

Praise like that from the socialist press releases endorphins into what is left of McCain’s brain.

McCain could do that because he now knows he will never run again.

So lying to you voters and misleading them in political ads is “courage” to a liberal? Brian is a jerk.

Leave it to Brian Williams to confuse moral turpitude with moral courage.

McCain doesn’t worry about being under Obamacare.

He has the gold plated coverage only the elites get.

If you are 81 years old with brain cancer under Obamacare, you are given the blue painpill, given end of life counseling, and you go home to die.

Thanks to Ezekiel Emmanuel, we are not going to waste precious medical resources on you. No, we would rather try to save a 35 year old, who can then go on to work and pay taxes fpr 30 more years.

Look at Jimmy Carter—he was “cured” of brain cancer at 91 years old of brain cancer. A miracle I tell ya!

That was not Obamacare.

Me? I’m rooting for the McCain’s brain cancer.

So he can finally pay for, in 1992, betraying the remaining Vietnam War POWs we left behind.

Williams was reporting from Hanoi when McCain was a POW there. He’s confusing the times.

“Remember Brian, that’s where you met Jane Fonda.”

“Oh.”
