Sen. John McCain announced his brain cancer diagnosis Tuesday night, and some liberals took that as an open invitation to attack both McCain and President Donald Trump.
Within an hour of the news breaking that McCain had glioblastoma, a particularly aggressive form of tumor, some were already on Twitter blasting McCain for his desire to repeal and replace Obamacare.
John McCain is pretty ok with taking away everyone’s health care so excuse me if i don’t have a well of sympathy for his brain cancer.

literally a month ago, McCain was being a spineless toady for Trump instead of displaying actual moral turpitude

My friend’s husband died of glioblastoma in AZ. They wrote a letter to McCain begging for his help. He advised them to move.

It might not be the time to talk about how McCain was about to vote for a bill that stripped healthcare away from millions, but whatever.

In addition to attacking the McCain, some verified Twitter liberals decided to pull the attention away from McCain and attack President Trump, particularly on the unkind things he has said about McCain in the past.
The closest any Trump kid will get to understanding what McCain went through as a POW is using the airplane bathroom after their dad.

After what Trump said about McCain during the campaign about not being a hero because he was a POW he should just have kept his mouth shut. https://t.co/tE58ds7CQP

Some schmuck in the White House wrote a statement for Trump on McCain because the jerk couldn’t be persuaded to tweet something nice.

Flight is taking off. If Trump tweets some fake sympathy abt McCain, please make sure to remind him that he’s a hateful, disgusting person. pic.twitter.com/fv115Ue4xD

[contentcards url=”http://dailycaller.com/2017/07/20/liberals-attack-mccain-after-brain-cancer-diagnosis/” target=”_blank”]Reminder: in spite of selling his soul for Sarah Palin, McCain is a war hero and has been vocally (although not legislatively) anti-Trump. https://t.co/n8o2jZey3n
