Emotional John McCain slams 'half-baked, spurious nationalism' sweeping America in speech aimed at Trump as Joe Biden presents him with lifetime of service award

Sen. John McCain made remarks at his National Constitution Center Liberty Medal ceremony in Philadelphia Monday night

He took a moment to go a step further than the night's other speakers, who lamented what many described as a fractured political climate

He warned against the US turning toward 'half-baked, spurious nationalism'

He said: 'We live in a land made of ideals, not blood and soil.'

Sen. John McCain warned against the US turning toward 'half-baked, spurious nationalism' and jabbed at unnamed pushers of isolationist politics while at an event honoring the war hero's contributions.

The six-term Republican senator from Arizona made the remarks at his National Constitution Center Liberty Medal ceremony in Philadelphia after receiving the award for a lifetime of service and sacrifice to the country.

In addition to recalling his more than two decades of Navy service and his imprisonment in a Vietnam prisoner of war camp, McCain took a moment to go a step further than the night's other speakers, who lamented what many described as a fractured political climate.

Go away you bitter old man. You’ve done more than your share of damage to this once great country.

Personally, I believe nationalism should be fully baked, so I stand with McCain on this one. :)

John McCain, spokesman for the Ruling Elite.

Is he still a member of the Republican Party? The GOP is Leftist Light and moving quickly towards Leftist Heavy.

If McCain weren’t an old fool who loves plaudits from the media above all else, he would be condemning the left’s relentless attacks on this country’s national sovereignty, national memory, culture, and Constitution instead of accepting awards from Joe Biden.

Once an America hero, millions supported him in 2008 election. Now behaves like a TRAITOR.

"Remember, kids: Nationalism is only bad if Americans engage in it!"

And ethnic pride is only bad if whites engage in it.

He is essentially the brat son of an admiral, a wartime admiral who was respected and honored by both patriots and enemies.

GOP = Garrulous Old People. It is indistinguishable from the dnc. They won't understand until we get rid of some of the high profile lefties like mcconnel and mccain. Let's drain the GOP mcswamp!

Why would he want to spend his last days either trying to create a legacy or bashing Trump. He clearly is very very ill, he really should spend his time with his family.

McCain has no freaking idea what he’s talking about.

He stays in the hermetically sealed beltway and is completely out of touch with the American People.

Why is he still in office???

Blood and soil is the capital spent to make the ideals of John McCain possible. What an ass.
