Senator John McCain votes NO on 'Skinny Repeal' (C-SPAN)

[dawnkrausern]

That was a House Of Cards moment right there

John McCain literally saved my life with this vote. Had he voted yes, I would of lost my insurance and died due to lack of treatment. May you RIP, Senator McCain.

This is seriously an oil painting from the renaissance

I love how as McCain is about to vote no. Bernie in the background tells the person next to him “watch this. This is gonna be good.”

Seeing Mitch McConnell just look devastated is amazing. Republican or Democrat, that man is a monster.

The turn to look at Mitch McConnell square was amazing.

Trump insulting McCain caused him to lose Arizona. Karma.

Update: And the election :)

Dude had been locked up and tortured for years, served his country as soldier and senator, went through two bruising presidential elections, got dragged by his own party due to his refusal to genuflect to Trump, and was actively dying of brain cancer by this point. He still mustered the strength to get up there and make the most consequential vote of his life. This was his legacy as a maverick distilled into a single unforgettable moment. He might've been giving the thumbs-down, but he was also giving a giant middle finger up at Trump. Absolute chad.

0:13 look at that staredown between McCain and McConnell, that was straight up a "Get fucked" moment right there.

John McCain quite literally saved countless lives for decades to come due to this action right here. Remember that whenever someone tells you that politics is meaningless.

100 years from now this moment will be remembered with awe.

I like how Bernie Sanders was like "Oh shit, here he comes!"

[shreyanshaswal]

If a movie is ever made about him, this better be its climax scene!!

[improvisewitme]

Senator McCain. Not just saved lives as a soldier, but saved lives as a law maker. He truly committed his life to public service and served the people well. Rest well Senator. Thank you for your service.

That quick HEY SHUT UP hand wave from Schumer to his side was very interesting. I wonder what his thoughts were in that moment.

[em.]

This was a bad ass moment. I had to go back and rewatch.

[Joe.]

i wish there was a 4k version of it. I wanted to see their faces so badly.

[Applesmauce]

Watching the debate currently, and when Kamala mentioned it, I had to come watch it again. I did not agree with many of his policies, but it is impossible to claim he wasn't a great. Lets hope that more like him come to the forefront.

Imagine no healthcare during Covid. John Mccain literally saved the lives of millions of americans, bless his soul

John McCain, a true hero, a true patriot, and a good man who will always have my eternal gratitude. Ain’t no more like him on that Hill.
