Rethug Senator says McCain's vote on health care may have been affected by

his brain tumor and the early morning hours of the vote.

http://www.cnn.com/2017/08/09/politics/kfile-ron-johnson-john-mccain/index.html

snip:

Republican Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin said Tuesday that he thinks that Sen. John McCain's brain tumor and the early morning hours may have affected the Arizona Republican's no vote on the Senate bill to repeal Obamacare.

Once again, Rethugs pass any previous standards for disgusting and vile behavior.

1) Having a brain tumor should affect one's vote on health care.

2) Barring emergencies, the Senate should not be holding votes at 1:30 a.m.

He probably told them that they weren't leaving until he got the vote he wanted. Then he got worn down himself.

Do you think it's possible that McCain realized that not everyone gets the same level of healthcare that he takes for granted? ...naaaah...

of the concept of basic human morality.

There's hope for cancer, but sadly nothing can be done to cure Ron Johnson
