This:

On Wednesday, Arizona Sen. John McCain announced his opposition to President Donald Trump’s nominee to run the CIA, Gina Haspel.

On Thursday, White House special assistant Kelly Sadler reportedly reacted by saying of McCain, who is fighting brain cancer, “It doesn’t matter, he’s dying anyway.”

And this:

 In the annals of bad TV takes, it’s going to be hard to beat the one offered by a Fox Business guest earlier today: Torture works, and he knows tortures works because it made John McCain cough up sensitive information during the years he spent as a prisoner of war in Vietnam.

“It worked on John [McCain],” retired Air Force Lt. Gen. Thomas McInerney said during a Thursday appearance on the Fox Business Network. “That’s why they call him ‘Songbird John.’” 

McInerney, an avid supporter of President Donald Trump, mentioned McCain in a segment about CIA director nominee Gina Haspel. Here’s why: On Wednesday, the senator vowed to vote against her nomination and recommended his colleagues do the same.

Look, I didn't vote for John McCain in 2008; I thought his grandstanding attempt to impeach Bill Clinton was shameful. However, Sen. McCain showed his true colors in the face of torture . . . twice.

First, the North Vietnamese offered to release John McCain before his fellow POWs so that they could get a nice propaganda piece ("SEE! The capitalist Americans come for the sons of admirals first!"). John McCain, to his undying credit, told them to go to hell and denied them their little victory, even though it resulted in his continued imprisonment.

Second, in the early 00s, John McCain stood up against the Bush Administration on the issue of torture enhanced interrogation. Anyone who remembers that time knows that any disagreement with the way the Cheney Bush Administration chose to prosecute the War on Terror (TM) was quickly subjected to accusations of "not supporting the troops" or "siding with the terrorists." John McCain took a big risk, and I applaud him for it.

Contrarily, Donald Trump's "Vietnam" experience involved not picking up too many STDs while screwing as many random women as possible, marriage (for either party) be damned.
