McCain’s John Lewis Flip-Flop

Thermometer Test

Right now is no time to come up short.

It's time to fight like hell for a democracy where minority rule cannot impose an extreme and cruel agenda, where the Big Lie is called a Big Lie, where facts matter, and where accountability at the polls and in the press has a fighting chance. We have our work cut out for us, and we urgently need to raise about 400,000 by Thursday, June 30, to finish our fiscal year on track and give it everything we possibly can. Please help us get there with a donation if you can right now.

Right now is no time to come up short. It's time to fight like hell for a democracy where minority rule cannot impose an extreme and cruel agenda, where facts matter, and where accountability at the polls and in the press has a fighting chance. We have our work cut out for us, and we still need to raise upwards of 400,000 by June 30 to give it everything we can. Please help:

Remember when John McCain said that one of the three “wisest people” he would “rely heavily on” in his administration was Democratic Congressman and civil rights legend John Lewis?

That seems unlikely nowadays, given that Lewis is accusing McCain of “sowing the seeds of hatred and division” a la George Wallace, and McCain is charging Lewis with “a brazen and baseless attack on my character.” It’s going to be awkward when they cross paths in the Capitol cafeteria…
