On Wednesday, Arizona Sen. John McCain announced his opposition to President Donald Trumps nominee to run the CIA, Gina Haspel.
On Thursday, White House special assistant Kelly Sadler reportedly reacted by saying of McCain, who is fighting brain cancer, It doesnt matter, hes dying anyway.
Sadlers reaction is not unique among the Trumpian right, whose outright hatred of McCain has resurfaced as McCains illness has progressed. (The feeling is mutual. McCain reportedly told friends a week ago that he doesnt want Trump at his funeral.)
Its also not new. When Trump delivered the infamous line during the 2016 campaign, I like people that werent captured a comment the mainstream press was sure would cross a line with his followers they not only didnt care but started a bizarre meme bashing McCain.
The hate dates back to John McCains own run for the White House in 2007 and 2008, and even to his service during the Vietnam War, during which he was held as a prisoner of war for more than five years and tortured for information.
And the vitriol has escalated so much in recent days, swerving into old conspiracy theories and jokes about torture, that Fox News banned a Trump supporter and longtime contributor from appearing on its networks again. When its too much for Fox, its really too much.
Ill celebrate from home then
Within the circle of Trump-supporting conservatives, McCain is a traitor, and his illness has been greeted with near glee. When McCain reportedly decided that he didnt want President Trump to attend his funeral (but wished for former Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush to give eulogies), former Trump campaign staffer Sam Nunberg tweeted a meme implying that Trump would celebrate from home then.(continued)

And those of us who were adults, during Nam, have HATED this POS TRAITOR since then; this is nothing "new"! He's the male version of HANOI JANE!
The very FIRST thing McQueeg said, when the Commies found him, was: MY FATHER IS AN ADMIRAL ANDF MY GRANDFATHER IS AN ADMIRAL! And it didn't take much for the old SONGBIRD to spill the beans and his guts to them.
Oh please McCain can and does insult Trump and his supporters routinely.
McCain’s disapproval of Trump is just what you would expect.
The GOP Never Trumpers hate him and all the Dims hate Trump and Trump is going to win anyway with his segment of the GOP.
1. These leftists who are now championing McCain hated him back in ‘08 as much as they hate Trump now.
2. They ignore the McCainiac hate for Trump, e.g. banning Trump from his upcoming funeral.
.
He lied to half the country for a long time, working against them behind the scenes.
He made tens of Millions as a public servant.
He supposed to serve us, not the other way around.
McShame has been Loved on Fox News for many years. Just go away.
Exactly
I hope Songbird drowns in his own body fluids.

Okay; we don’t like McTraitor. Got it. Does that make us “Trumpian” or more probably simply American patriots.
Something McStain never was.
Jane sounds like she has a cattle prod parked.
McCain is evil.
“Kelly Sadler deserves the Presidential Medal of Freedom. “
That piece of crap has been given away to every extreme left-wing hollyweird actor.
Trump raised a million bucks for McCain’s failed campaign. That’s something the dying POS never mentions.
That’s what kills me. I was standing in line today and the TV on the wall had MSNBC running a hagiography on McCain. Just a few years back he was hated and slandered by the left like any other Republican, but now he’s a saint. For the simple reason that he hates Trump just like they do.
I don’t hate John McCain, I just give him a thumbs down.
Does Mccain’s swam dive remind anyone of Spain’s Francisco Franco’s drawn out death spiral to nowhere?
Recalling Chevy Chase on week-end updates on SNL, back when that was apolitical and relatively funny.
Muck FcCain.
His funneral will just be filled with people who made money off McCain.He was an awful person. I wouldnt go near his corpse he is evil.
No no no.
Sadly we have people exactly like that at Free Republic.
On this thread, even.
