Democrats’ Disgusting Reaction to John McCain’s Senate Return

Sen. John McCain returned to the Senate today for the first time following news that doctors found a brain tumor while performing surgery to remove a blood clot from his eye.

McCain received good wishes from across the political spectrum, including tweets from Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. And on Tuesday, when he returned to the Senate floor, he was met with a rousing ovation from his colleagues before voting yes on a motion to proceed with debate on the Senate health care bill, a motion that passed thanks to a tie-breaking vote by Vice President Mike Pence.

McCain’s return was expected, as was his vote to move to proceed with the BCRA, which inspired David Corn of Mother Jones to tweet Monday night:

I GREATLY admire John McCain. But I'm disappointed that as he benefits from first-rate health care, he votes to deprive others of insurance.

Of course, not everyone felt compelled as Kristof did to add that first bit about admiring McCain.

Fuck John McCain tbh and fuck a standing ovation for him eagerly voting to take away insurance from millions. ????????

John McCain deserves his legacy to be denying the same health care that is keeping him alive to tens of millions of Americans. #shame

In the movies, John McCain hauls himself from his sickbed, delivers the big speech, then votes No. This ain’t the movies.

I no longer care about John McCain's health. Just as he doesn't about ours.

John McCain should've died when he had the chance.
