Flashback: McCain tells supporter Obama is 'a decent...

- At an October 2008 rally, then-presidential candidate John McCain had to take a microphone from a supporter and tell her that Barack Obama is "a decent, family man."
This is why McCain lost. He was a decent man who wouldn't degrade himself to appeal to those voters who have come to idolize Trump.
PKam33 for sure. I’m beginning to realise that there is a decency divide happening more than a party divide. These people genuinely scare me
Wholefoodhoney you think the reaction would be any different if Joe Biden interrupted a supporter who was claiming she doesn’t trust trump only to tell her Donald Trump is a decent family man. These people have been brainwashed by their media streams just like democrat supporters
Agreed
I agree but those people would still vote Hod him I don’t think that’s why he lost
Internet Vigilante except Donald Trump isn’t a decent man. That’s the difference mang.
"He's a good guy, we just happen to disagree" what the f*** happened to that mindset ?
@Elena Actually, Obama happened.
Partisan politics happened.
What happened was Roger Stone, Alex Jones, Fox News, social media and a steady dose of fear/ignorance... All the conspiracies and fear mongering brainwashed a shit ton of gullible people and I watched the entire thing go down. It was a snowball effect. I honestly blame Roger Stone the most. He’s the guy that ushered in the “Win at all cost” mentality politics . The true mudslinging began when that horrible human being entered the arena...
@@JustSimonn ???? In what way did Obama represent a change in mindset from “He’s a good guy, we just happen to disagree”? He was loathe to resort to personal attacks unlike trump who, even before his presidency, during Obama’s tenure, would often attack Obama based on his race, heritage and character... Tf
Well the problem is Trump is a massive fearmongerer and liar. If you're against him, then he will say all manner of things to make his supporters hate and fear you. Even if those things are false
This man is pure class. And for Obama to speak at his funeral shows how well respected he was.
God rest his soul not to bash but both were massive war mongers and Obama had a thing for blowing up kids.
George W. Bush too, McCain and Bush had a heated republican primary in 2000.
Yeah, don't agree with him on a lot, but on principles. Principles democracies can't work without and the GOP is sacrificing these principles for their olamb.
You don't know you're in the good old days until they pass. John McCain, Mitt Romney, even George W. Bush to an extent. All decent men with this country's well-being at heart.
Now we live in some bizzaro world where everything is pure vitriol and the House is jam packed with legitimate nutjobs.
@@direct278 The difference is social media. This is what politicians looked like before social media was widespread. Social media is the root of a lot of the evil that has come to pass in the last decade.
Doesn't it just kill you inside how people will boo a good, honest man who did nothing but tell them the truth that they didn't want to hear?
Thats what modern democracy is.
Telling ppl what they want to hear not what they need to hear
Pretty much sums up Carter, Gore, Mccain, Romney and Bernie
But instead we got Reagan, W, Obama, Trump and Biden who wanted to sugercoat things.
@@NobleBosswow sane take on American politics, that's now that's wild
@@dreemlite5950 Thats what humans are, everywhere, anwhere, anytime.
tbf I wouldn't really consider the creatures who boo'ed there human
He's a decent man that I just have disagreement with on fundamental issues. If everyone can talk like this shit would get resolved a lot faster.
Hallelujah. Testify 🙏🙌
Why aren't they saying that about Trump
@@purtzian it shouldn't be that hard. If it's still hard, then you need to take reading comprehension classes
Purtzian because 1 he is not a decent man 😂 & 2 the people here that are afraid of Obama in the video are the trump supporters of today , the people that don’t understand how to treat humans with respect
@@purtzian Good question! Cuz we are human, and human's first instinct when someone insult you isn't to call that person a "decent man". Could you be a saint and still do it? Of course, but I think that's too high of a bar for most of us.
They honestly booed him for being a decent person.
He's not a decent person lol
Unknown Individual
I don’t know about his other actions, but his attitude here of respecting his opponent even at the cost of denying a supporter’s opinion is honorable.
@@samuele9947 what was it like meeting and hanging out with Obama?
The only time "John McCain" and "decent person" should be used in the same sentence is when you're saying "John McCain was not a decent person"
Unknown Individual neither are you
I miss this style of conservative. Even though I disagreed with the policies, I never once didn’t believe John McCain had the best interest of the American people at heart. He was a man of the highest calibre and a true patriot.
John mccain vote for Iraq war wtf you talking about man. Mccain was scum. R.I.N.O
DemokkkRats consider John McCain the republican most worthy to lose against the demokkkRat candidate. McCain was a loser. He even lost Indiana in 2008.
Exactly. I wish conservatives were still like this. Now it’s just..constant misinformation and abuse of power
Very well said. 👏👏👏
agreed and I’m not anywhere near being a conservative or a republican
Even Romney, circa 2012, started out his 2nd debate w/ Obama with, "Mr. President, I wanted to just wish you and your wife a happy anniversary...and what a joy it is that you get to spend such a wonderful occasion...here with me! :)"
Back when politicians actually showed respect for each other. That went out the window in 2016.
100% correct unfortunately.
Imagine calling someone an 'Arab' as an insult.
@Videep Cheemangunta No, he is saying that a certain group of people give a lot of public attention and approval to people who claim that arabs are indecent people, which is definitely a horrible thing to do.
Thats...wonderful.Thanks for that comment, it provess my point that America is still a country full of decent and fair minded people
She didn’t try to insult him. That’s the scary part. She was sure that he’s Arab and that’s why she’s SCARED of him... how thick can those uneducated people be??
The poor guy has to explain policies to thousands who need explaining why Arab people aren’t to be afraid of...
Ikr
These people were just waiting for their Donald.
You're so right.
Omg soo trueee
You are absolutely right
Truth
Ooof
John McCain - a good and honorable man who served our country well. A true Patriot and war hero. You are truly missed.
Last sane republican
And look where they got him. Lost in a blowout
Lots of insane democrats like AOC too
I have to agree with you on that and I'm not a Republican.
I think Romney was because we all know who was the Republican nominee after that
He was so embarrassed these kind of people were his supporters.
@@DakanFluff Wtf does being an interventionist have to do with respecting a political rival? Lol. I'm not a fan of John McCain's policies and even some of his personal attributes, but he's clearly feeling some embarrassment here that his closest supporters are so misinformed, and probably a little terrified at the political implications of defending Obama as a person to such a crowd.
Chris Dyrnes you see it all in his face. RIP John McCain
Fred Wright shut the fuck up princess
yuragi put some respect on the late John McCain’s name
Chris Dyrnes Were you even alive during John Mccain’s entire life span?
I’m no Republican, but John McCain was a true American patriot.
Yeah and a Al Nosra supporter.
@@maliksummers8679 He served this country for years in war - was a POW, tortured for the flag. What did you do? people like you who couldn't amount to a hair on his testicle are what will ultimately disgrace the forefathers and enslave this country to hostiles.
I am German. I‘d have voted blue if I was American. And I love John McCain.
Suddenly lefties love a neocon warhawk just because drumpf said some bad things about him
@will smith more than Donald i bet.
I had a lengthy political discourse on immigration with Senator McCain on more than one occasion. Even though I disagreed with him on 66% of the issues, his humanity was awe inspiring, and his sincerity was never in doubt. I have never voted Republican, but if he still was around I would. I consider him a great American. His signed picture has the highest point of prominence on our law firm's wall. Regardless of ones' political inclination, no Amercian can doubt his candor and earnest patriotism.
It’s crazy how these guys have just always been sitting in the background waiting for their time to shine
And Trump and the GQP are giving these people the go ahead
Yep, I remember reading conservative/Republican sites like FreeRepublic at the time of McCain’s concession (and then Romney’s) and seeing the constant and persistent whining about how the elections were “rigged” and they shouldn’t have admitted the loss.
Trump is just a reflection of how insane the Republican base has been for a long, long time now. It’s just the Republican Party leadership used to be able to hide the crazies away - now the crazies run the show.
“Hes just a decent man whom I have disagreements with”
What happened to this kind of maturity and integrity in our government!?
Well the people in the crowd elected their own
We’ve just been given shitty choices the last couple of elections
Brain cancer
You can't be civil and win an ignorant base.
Hear how they booed him afer he said that? Well those morons won't be voting for someone with maturity or integrity, but for someone who is just as narrow minded, stubborn and slandering as themselves
I ultimately went with Obama, but I respected the hell outta McCain's response to that woman
Funny/sad how his daughter Megan McCain is literally the embodiment of that women now
Ultimately I went with McCain but at least either way we ended up with a decent person in the White House.
Pam Yuhnke “Decent”, sure thing; keep telling yourself that.
@@pamyuhnke8143 Putin says Ty
and that’s why McCain lost.
This is a video of manhood, heroic courage, and truth. RIP John.
John McCain was an honorable man and is sorely missed!
Probably cost him the election, but he kept his dignity.
Kept his dignity and All our Respect including that of Obama... Wow.
Totally worth though
And earned my respect.
Limewire that doesn’t actually matter, he helped me understand I am not a democrat. He helped me move from the left to the center. He taught me not to vilify the other side. The vote affects a few years, the ideology affects a lifetime. This man is a legend. This man has earned my respect.
@Limewire You summed up pretty well what's wrong with politics. Politicians say what the majority of their voters want to hear. And to keep their voters attention, they move to more extreme 'less nice' opinions.
And this is why McCain wanted Obama, not Trump, to deliver his eulogy.
John McCain and Mitt Romney are the perfect example of "We may have some fundamental disagreements but I still respect you as a fellow human being trying their best"... The issue Republicans have today is that they have no moral compass
@@captainawesome0711 yes! i respect republicans, but trump supporters are WAYYY different
@@thepinkprintt It's because Trump is a fascist, empowering the worst aspects of humanity and giving people an "evil" to fight. True evil comes out when trying to determine others as evil for things that make them different, not understanding that what makes us different is what makes us all special. I'm of the opinion that we are all trying to make our way thru an insane world and anyone who claims they know how to be successful and can teach that success is lying, a lot of success is simple luck in all honesty
He specifically requested Trump not show up.
@@franktranks9445 One needs to be a special kind of asshole to be banned from a funeral.
This is why my parents & i liked McCain. And hes a tough son of a gun, being a POW & all. Very few people could endure what that man went through for YEARS.
He did all he could to ensure that we should not be scared of someone we disagree with. Such a wholesome moment and brilliant expression of grace and class from him. Then to be booed for that. Staggering.
Listen to those boos. The candidates may have been kinder then, but the people were already as hateful as they are today.
Sadly, that's true.
Trump simply says what people want to listen
They struck gold with the current WH occupier
Mike OBrien do you ever get tired of being right ?
These are Trump followers a hateful people making up conspiracy theories it's funny that a people known for stealing murdering and raping other races are always afraid someone is gonna do it to them
Jesus Christ this is a true American. Pushed back at his supporters and defended his opponent. Both good men, good Americans who ran in 2008 and 2012.
👍👍 Veteran too, fought for his country and didnt dodge the draft
@Thomas B. Marine: fully agree: John McCain, a man who put honor and truth above political advantage, and I am saying this as a Democrat. Cindy McCain - a fine person also - honorable and interested in the wellbeing of American service people and the residents of Arizona. I look forward to bi-partisan relationships with honorable people on both sides of the aisle... which is the exact opposite of what Trump has done in this country. We work together, or we fail together! Kudos to John McCain!!
Truly and man of dignity, class, honor, respect, integrity a true patriot and one hell of a model American!
@@miguellmoctezuma Yes sir, very well said. In the end, honor, dignity, and integrity mean a whole lot, whether or not a person gets the recognition they deserve. Speaking of which, that is a hell of a surname (moctezuma) you have... assuming it is your real surname :-) ...!

This literally brings tears to my eyes. I did not vote for John McCain but I respect him immensely. We need more Americans like John McCain.
I will ALWAYS have respect for Sen. McCain for this very moment. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
JOHN MCCAIN invaded a sovereign Nation, South Vietnam, committed War Crimes
and was such a lousy Pilot, he got Shot down, is that what a True American Patriot is in your small mind?
I see why they hated him, he wasn't going to let people disrespect Obama. A pretty decent human

John McCain showed the mark of a man he was, and his integrity by defending his opponent Barack Obama.
McCain was 50 times the man that Donald J Trump could ever hope to be.
Its not just his family's loss that John McCain sadly died when he did.
RIP John McCain.
Respect to McCain. He could’ve spread rhetoric like Trump does but he kept his integrity and respected his opponent.
Lol yea they’re called republicans

A true Humanity respect shown by Senator McCain
I'll never get over the fact that these people vote. Sigh.
Had Obama lost, i wouldn’t haven’t mind a McCain Presidency even if I disagree with his views. He had integrity and love of the country. Something this current president lacks.
Exactly. Me too. And I supported Obama more
You show the exact reason why most leftists hate liberals.
Nah
My only problem with him was his running mate. That really sunk him. I liked McCain, but idve been really worried if palin was a heartbeat away from the presidency.
Chris Ashtear Yes. My dad was fully ready to vote for McCain... until he chose Palin. That killed it for Dad and so many other people. It was a very pathetic last ditch effort that was beneath McCain, but he did anyway out of desperation... and it still didn’t help him!
Not only did McCain speak well about Obama, but he defended him even when his own supporters booed him. The sportsmanship and dignity this man had were unbelievable! I'm afraid this was the last era of decency for candidates.
once orange is out well be back to decent candidates LMAO
hopefully it's not

The Republican Party of McCain is gone. Didn’t vote for him, but he was clearly a man of integrity.

This is what a man of integrity and honor looks and sounds like.
Nobody talks like that anymore respect for oneself and for others

zack Milder please show proof
Amen 🇺🇸🌿🦋🕊️🙏🏽☦️🕯️💕💖💓
Each time I watch this video makes me wonder if this man is the true father of Meghen Mccain!
@zack Milder Are you talking about yourself? Because you sure aren't talking about McCain, and I'm not even from the states or suport republicans. McCain was a good person, whatever your political agenda might be.
Now who would reply "Maybe, but, I am the most decent person that you will ever know" to the same question? ..😁
John McCain was exactly what we need today, a decent, kind upstanding man. Even if people did not agree with his vote on Obamacare, he got up from his hospital bed and voted his conscience. He did not bluster, nor rail about what he did. He voted his mind, what he felt was best for people who needed help. If it was not for VA, or Obamacare I could not afford to get medical help in America. The insurance companies have made it clear who they work for, and it's not us.
This is the way politicians should be acting. With class and respect. Obama and McCain were lucky to have a good relationship, and they did not become enemies because of this election. No matter how you felt about these men, you have to admire and respect how civil and respectful they were with each other. Because Democrats and Republicans disagree on some issues, they do not have to be enemies.
Wow imagine a politician standing up for another politician. Actual humanity
Imagine a politician standing up for a politician from the opposite party. Actual humanity
It’s sad that there aren’t more people like McCain in politics. Standing up for the fundamentals he believed in but not giving into mud slinging and fear mongering. He was absolute class.
Like President-elect Joe Biden says, opponents aren't enemies. There's a big difference. Senator McCain was a class act. Imagine a whole government full of decent woman and men like him .
Racist bastards hated that man cause he's black and wanted him to hate Obama too. And John wasn't having it.
Yep
I am Democrat but he is THE politician that I respect and admire the most.
I didnt like McCain's politics, but I respected the man. 🇺🇸 a true patriot.
You would have been a hateful person to not like or even respect this man
Why he committed treason?
@@s.linastaffords6744 what treason?
Same here
Rewatched it just now and got emotional. What ever happened to decency?
That’s what a true patriot a true American and a true leader sounds like!
The immediate boo-ing once he claims he is a decent man... that's what's wrong with American politics in this day
And it’s been that way for a long time
That was 12 years ago
No that’s what’s wrong with some Americans. They don’t want to hear the truth, they just want to hate and McCain wasn’t having it.
Proof the division wasnt started by Trump.
They blame him at least for exacerbating it, but that is unfair when the media who have picked the other side is constantly deriding him and slinging mud at him every chance they get.
Worst than that was the booing of ron paul in the Republican primary because he defended a non interventionist policy. You could see how blood thirsty a portion of the republican base is
The shock on McCain’s face.
He was probably thinking; “Are these the people that support me?”
A realization that Trump needs to make.
I was thinking the same damn thing.
Trump used the fanaticism of these people and that's why he won, they were too loud. This time round the Dems had become more riled up and loud due to Covid, BLM movements and just being sick and tired
Back then Trump saw this scene and thought to himself,
“There’s a lot of hatred and ignorance out there, I must just be able to manipulate that into a presidency for myself”
@@spider1019 that's exactly how it happened.
I watch this video from time to time when I am feeling pessimistic about the future of our country and it lifts my spirits a little bit more each time. We desperately need to return to this level of decency again. RIP John McCain!
JOHN MCCAIN invaded a sovereign Nation, South Vietnam, committed War Crimes
and was such a lousy Pilot, he got Shot down, is that what a True American Patriot is in your small mind?
Same. Im now here again
And that’s a honorable man. No matter how much he disagreed with Obama, he still maintained his respect for him as a person and individual.
And for the office and most importantly the American people. Was never a McCain supporter, but he was and is a true American hero
That's the Republicans I remember. I don't recognize my party today.
No surprise Trump hated him. Honor, integrity, dedication, honesty, decency.

I like how she struggles to even articulate what she dislikes about Obama until eventually settling on just saying that he’s an Arab.
Partly I'm thinking they just want to say things that they say at home, but they know full well wouldn't be appropriate here. But maybe you're right, maybe they don't even know what they dislike about him.

Can anyone else remember when American politicians were this polite to each other, even when they disagreed on things and they still believed in basic human decency towards an opponent?
I mean, this probably cost John McCain the election and yet he still felt that it was that important to him to not demean his opponent that he disagreed with his voter's opinions and defended Obama against accusations of being friends with domestic terrorists (hmm, sound like any other former presidents we know?) and being and "Arab", like that's an insult.
What an absolute gentleman.

So true a honest politician
@@deniseowens4543 Well no not really. McCain, as nice of a guy as he was, constantly bent the knee to trying to save his career. He would go on TV or give speeches preaching about doing the right thing and looking out for everyone but then once it came down to a vote on a serious issue he would divert from his greater good ideas and just vote for bad ideas and bad policies because he wanted to appease the party line. I have a lot of respect for him as a man, but as a politician he was no better than the rest of the GOP. Preaching about greater good to the people and then voting against their interests in favor of advancing a political career. It was painful to see because he seemed like such a great guy. But time and time again he followed the GOP formula of promising a greater good to the people but when it came down to a vote on politics he supported things that would actually hurt every day people.
Ask the people who he lit on fire after his flyboy wet start. This was after he clipped a power line and cut electricity to half of Spain. Ya think his daddy admiral had anything to do with how he was treated? He's a scumbag and you shouldn't act like he was a friend of yours.
RIP McCain. Imagine a republican being this honest and honorable today.
Yeah that's not true because the media would have convinced you he was a racist. Case and point;

Back then everyone hated this guy just as much as they did as Donald Trump when they were going to be elected. People look back at history with rose tinted glasses.
I disagreed with many of his policy decisions, but McCain has something many of his colleagues lack, character.
Sadly, he isn't here anymore to do so. Rest in peace, we truly lost a great politican that day.
@CC. It just pains me that we allow idealogy trumps human decency.
@Biden 2020 hey I would have voted for him as well if wasnt running against Obama. I always appreciated and respected John McCain
he stood up for what he believed in, that what rlly matters
Character, and pure class.
I am a old school moderate democrat and that interaction honestly tears me up. What the f$*k happened to our country? Wake up people.
I remember witnessing that! Look at her hair! John McCain was well liked by so many. A decent man who stood up many times for others. Where are the John McCains in my former party? NONE, NOT ONE!!!! SAD FOR THIS COUNTRY!! I said it and stand by it!
We need more politicians like McCain. He didn’t put party over country.
What sucks is that people like McCain lose. If I am ever to become president, I want to change American politics to make them less tense.
“When Republicans had Honor and Decency.”
thumbs up for McCain’s decency and respect for others.
big thumbs down for his rabid military spending and foreign interventionist policies.
@@superawesomecaillougod6664 sure
@Edgar Poe ?
Imagine having a crowd of people booing you for calling a decent human, decent.
Seriously. The lowest common denominator of people are truly revolting. Hate is all they have. And they will ultimately be the downfall of the US.

@@tylersmall262 you're just - never fucken mind
We need more people like John in the world. Too many people make this shit personal.
When McCain campaigned using the slogan "Country Over Party," he really meant it. What a legend
Trump would’ve said, “You know... some people say he’s a Muslim. I don’t know. That’s what they say.”
“You know I think you’re right. I really do. It’s true I do.”
@@johnsaunders8882 I read this in his annoying voice 😂😂
The funny thing is Hillary said something very similar while they were rival candidates.
millions and millions of people think that. They are saying it more than ever before.
@@Funkybassuk Yeah fuck Hillary.
I don’t agree with McCains believes.... but man... that was a decent guy. Rest in peace and may god bless his family.
My parents had the honor of meeting him years ago said he was a kind man who preferred not to talk politics over lunch but instead to talk about other things. He had an air around him that made you feel happy just to be in his presence. Rest In Peace, senator.
Beliefs.
I’m sure you don’t because you’re probably racist against black people like half America. We are humans just like white people, so sad & I bet you believe in Jesus (a brown skin man) as well smh...surely you can’t call yourself a Christian I hope because if people like you are the example I would want no parts of it
@@Ronaldwillliam we were just having a moment. Jeez
@@Ronaldwillliam Dammit Ronnie, you’ve done it again.
John McCain is what our country needs today in politics
This never gets old. Would be nice to get back to this vs. the current hate-filled irrational tribalism.
Probably cost him part of the election but he was still able to look himself in the mirror. May he rest in peace.
Breaks my heart. He was booed from his own party for labelling Obama as a decent family man.
he should be booed for being stupid
he called obama who support murder of unborn baby, decent.
decent in a world of self centered psychopaths on their way to hell
@Megan=Dunkin The thing is despite the haters John M stood up to his party to remove the lies they thought about Obama. I wished we had that dignity in politics today. I guess we're screwed
@@cheri7054 lies? isnt McCain whos calling the psychopath of Obama who promoted murder of unborn baby, decent? dont vote, you lack logic. wheres you dignity to oppose Obama and democrats who murder unborn babies, promote man with man sodomy, want trans (men) in girls' bathrooms, who become rich after becoming politicians, who promote rioters....
@tinwoods illiterate? isnt you people who say unborn baby is woman's body, kill unborn baby is about health, a person with penis is a woman, man should marry man, globe is warming, woman and man are the same.... left is synonymous of low IQ
Imagine Biden saying that about trump. He’d get booed even worse.
If this happened in 2020:
Woman: He's an eerab.
Trump: "Well.. they say he could be. I have heard that too. It could be true. We will have to see."
Nailed it.
I read that in Trump’s voice lmao
@Victor Hood If Your vision of an American Leader is a Narcissistic Demagogue who believes in stretching the truth in any way he so desires to benefit from it dishonorably, go ahead and vote for Trump. I'll stay with my vision of a Leader of Our Country being a Person who defines exemplary values such as Respect, Honour, Courage, and Resilience in the face of uncertainty. Unfortunately, the 2020 Election doesn't happen to have such a Candidate to offer, due to our Ancient and Needless 2-Party system.
and it's the truth
Freedom fighter No, it isn’t. conspiracy theories don’t automatically become invalidated because they exist.
I sat near Mccain at an Arizona MLB game around 2012 and I knew I wanted a photo, but wanted to time it right as not to be a bother. 7th inning stretch comes and his wife gets up and leaves. I went over to ask for a selfie, and instead Mccain invites me to sit in his wife's seat and we chat for probably 5 full minutes. As his wife returns I get up and he reminds to get the pic before I go. He was so gracious and kind when he had every right to wave me away. Him and his wife both had security escorts.
Many days it feels like John McCain was the last true Republican. Gone are the days of integrity, decency, dignity, and honesty. No wonder Donald Trump hated him. America will fail with Trump, and they will deserve it.
This man probably should've been either a Republican nominee back in 2000 against Al Gore or an elected president at that time! GW Bush likely just got elected because of his name. We seriously elect people in the office relatively for stupid reasons!
She said “arab” like it made him a vampire or something
Do you have something against vampires?
Only when they don’t get proper consent before drinking someone’s blood. ;-)
well this was not long after 9/11 and the hunt of osama bin laden and saddam hussein and the invasion into iraq.
It's interesting because being an "Arab" is an ethnicity which in of itself isn't a bad thing, but the way she conveyed it it sound like she meant "muslim" which isn't a bad thing in itself either. Both Terms are almost synonymous with "Terrorist" in America, even more so back when this was caught, but neither even means close to the word terrorist. It's a simple matter of definition, these people have/had access to dictionaries at the very least which would tell them something similar. So when she says she read that he was an "Arab", it's like where did you read that and who told you what an Arab was because it's not accurate. This is why America has its intelligence stereotyped. Which honestly too me if you say you've heard someone is American, I would instantly assume a lack of intelligence, which is super Ironic.
Well what do you think many jihadi activist worldwide are.. Your friendly good OBAMA?
Lady: im racist, obama scary
McCain: sit down
McCain: no.
Lady: no?
McCain: ...no.
- I've been reading about this man he's Arab...
- (nods head) no ma'am...
- ......no? 🤣 #imdead
@@SedanChair lmaooo that had me dead
🤣🤣🤣
LOL
Thanks for being honest with your constituents mr. John McCain may you rest in peace you will be missed
My respect for the GOP died with John McCain.
More class in that 62 seconds, than 4 years of Trump.
exactly
He helped create ISIS🤡
@David Robinson I hate to tell this to you my friend from across the pond. But Mr. Trump NEVER said ANYTHING about Obama like these people were saying. You have been listening to the slander our press spits out simply because they don't like the man. In fact since Trump first ran, I have YET to hear him say ANYTHING of a racist nature towards anyone. I'd like you to know that he has Jewish grandchildren, he had a black woman run his first campaign and he hired all different kinds of people to work in his companies.
Say it again for those sitting in the back!
@@retroguy9494 Yeah he even had a webpage to hire African American actors for his campaign 🤦🏻♂️
I disagreed with McCain on policy, but I did admire his character.
That's true of most presidents pre-Trump. They tend to uphold the dignity of the position whichever way their politics go.
Edit: I realize McCain was not president. But he was a candidate and this goes for presidential candidates too. Trump is an outlier.
Same , I respect that
character matters.
John McCain was one the most stand up persons to EVER run for the, President of the United States of America!!!! A TRUE Hero of America!!!
Wow, that booing was absolutely uncalled for because someone spoke the truth they didn't want to hear.
Just like what happened to Chris Christie whenever he spoke some truth.
Trump was in the audience handing out business cards to those people.
Hahaha god tier comment
😭
He was blowing them.
😂😂😂😂
Applications to Trump University.
Man look at his heart break realizing the type of people he had supporting him
Thats why they like Trump so much they wanted a hillbilly they could talk trash with
The old lady was ignorant but the first guy was right. Obama's friendship with Bill Ayers from terrorist organization Weather Underground is public record. Not sure why McCain was defending him on that charge.
@@realniggashit3 That's like saying Trump organizes with the KKK because he has a former Klan leader as Vice President.
@@thelegacyofgaming2928 Mike Pence is a former klan leader? Last I checked, Bill Clinton was mentored by J. William Fulbright and buddies with former Klan leader Robert Byrd
@@realniggashit3 Mike Pence is indeed a former Klan leader. I'm not sure what Bill Clinton has to do with that fact.
Honorable man.
Guna show this to my kids so they can see what respect and democracy once looked like....
By calling his opponent a decent man, McCain proved his own decency in an otherwise indecent politics.
NO BECAUSE THE OTHER SIDE NEVER DOES THAT.
LOL, never heard of playing politics?? It's an old game and it fools people like you into thinking he was a man of quality. He never was.
He also lost the election.
@@dglass8930 so if they are rude they are bad hut if they are kind they are bad? Get your head checked the boogie man isnt real and not everyone is out to get you 🤣
But he was wrong. You’re an idiot
This why I like John McCain.....you don't have to hate to disagree.
Exactly....I don't agree with him but damn, at least he seems like a decent person (unlike a certain orange president I know)
Exactly! He was such a great man..this has me all teary eyed. May he rest in peace.
Very true, it's appaling what's going on in the current election. Trump is certainly no peach but Biden is equally corrupt. Life-long politician with a past of racism and sexual harassment. Currently he's dealing with corruption in the Ukraine while trying to cope with what seems to be moderate to severe dementia. His VP openly fucked her way to the top, has an atrocious political record and seems like the most insincere human in the world. And she's probably gonna do everything in her power to use the 25th amendment on Joey.
Get your shit straight for the next election and vote for decent human beings. Shouldn't be too difficult.
That's what you call a loser. Ran without the intention of winning. RINO
This is the type of person you want to see as president. Right now we're so divided. Trump fuels it instead of putting a stop at it. My uncle told me a story once about the night Obama was elected. Both sides were at bar waiting for the results. No one was arguing with each other. Even when Obama won, still no one argued. Nowadays, you can't have both sides in one room without a argument or hell even fight breaking out.
