"SNIP............


Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) blamed Sen. John McCain’s (R-AZ) vote against Trumpcare on McCain’s brain tumor, but he didn’t mean it like a broader understanding of healthcare.

“We did get a call from Paul (Ryan) and he assured us that skinny repeal was not going to pass the House it would have to go to conference,” Johnson said during a Tuesday radio interview on AM560 “Chicago’s Morning Answer.”

“Again, I’m not gonna speak for John McCain — he has a brain tumor right now — that vote occurred at 1:30 in the morning, some of that might have factored in,” he went on.

The host then asked if he “really” thought that McCain’s brain tumor caused McCain to not support the Trump bill and Johnson seemed to stammer in his response.

1. Omitting the single quotation marks in, 'How disgusting', changes everything.

Without them, that seemingly minor change makes it seem like you are in favor of the GOP asshole. I'm sure that wasn't the intent, but that's how it reads.

Actual headline:

‘How disgusting’: Internet slams ‘assh*le’ GOP senator who blamed McCain’s Trumpcare vote on brain cancer

3. Thanks. Don't know how I did that. It was just a cut and paste and I copied it. I could

see missing one quote that way. But not both. Strange.

2. It's a little like blaming a political enemy's behavior on mental illness or dementia

without having all of the information.

4. Still can't believe Wisconsin picked this guy over Feingold?

I mean, how?
