Draggingtree Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Patterico 7/26/2017 John McCain’s Sanctimonious and Disgraceful Speech Filed under: General — Patterico @ 7:59 am I wanted to like John McCain’s speech.

To paraphrase McCain: to hell with that. The text of the speech can be read in its entirety here. Here’s the part that really bugged me: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
