You don't have to like McCain (and I certainly don't) or think he wasn't racist (which I certainly do) to simply acknowledge what happened in this exchange.

Watch the clip--he wasn't saying "Obama is decent because he's not Arabic" he was saying "Hold it lady, I see where you're going with this and I'm gonna stop you right there." He cut her off because she was trying to smear him period, not because of the specific lie she used

the president using the office to punish americans that didnt vote for him should really be one of the biggest scandals in americas history

Don Moynihan @donmoyn.bsky.social · 1d

Trump is upfront in saying he will use the shutdown to punish Democrats, and here are the receipts. About $27.2 billion cut from Dem districts compared to about $0.7 billion in GOP districts.
We all complain about the media, but need this type of in-depth journalism.

The Trump administration has frozen or canceled nearly $28 billion primarily located in Democratic-led districts, according to an analysis by The New York Times.

A minor gripe overall but I hate that "Oh so you hate waffles?" has been tainted by dumb TERFs misusing it. It was so easy to point out specifically how people on Bluesky were being stupid without needing to explain in depth, now I have to spell it out

But tbh I should be blocking them instead 🤷‍♂️

that he's Arabic, and that he wasn't going to stand for false attempts to slander him because he felt he was a decent man.

Or you could just, y'know, read the rest of my thread to understand my point about hate being the GOP's entire platform. Me, liberal? Lol, lmao

Skeletal Minion @skeletalminion.bsky.social · 18h

I never said McCain wasn't racist, just that he defended Obama against smears one time, which he factually did. Your quote inaccurately twists it to make it seem McCain was claiming Obama was decent because he's not Arabic, but the actual clip shows he was refuting an audience member's lie

John McCain remembered: defending Obama from racist questions – video

John McCain, as a presidential candidate in 2008, defends the good character of rival Barack Obama after a Republican supporter voices her fears that Obama is an 'Arab'

It's all bullshit. Their "values" they claim to support are just a pile of fucking nothing--if they were genuine, they would act as such, but they don't. It's always* been about hating others just because they feel the need to lock their car doors when a black guy walks by.

*For many decades

They don't give a shit about any of the things they've claimed over decades: fiscal conservatism, small government, good Christian values, all of it. Sometimes the hypocrisy is especially blatant: McConnell cheating to deny Obama SC appt, then fast tracking a similar appt from Trump.

the spirit of the statement to be accurate: hatred IS the sole true GOP platform. "The old ones were anti-fascist" like ok, but WW2 was 80 years ago. How have the vast majority of Rs acted in public within the last 10 years and privately since at least Reagan?

Skeletal Minion @skeletalminion.bsky.social · 20h

Sure, there are Republicans who would publicly disagree with the party. McCain standing up against Obama smears, or Romney voting to impeach. The question is: are those recent enough and in large enough numbers to matter?

I'm comfortable saying 99% of Rs have been like this long enough for
