Beck Shreds McCain for Obamacare Repeal Flip-Flop: ‘Lousy,’ Opportunistic ‘Dirtbag Weasel’

Senator John McCain now favors complete repeal of Obamacare, after months of rejecting it as “not rational” and a “false premise” by Senate Republicans. This flip-flop really set off Glenn Beck, who went into a lengthy diatribe Thursday against “the lousy senator from Arizona,” who he called either a “dirtbag weasel” or a “weasel dirtbag.”

Beck relentlessly mocked the “mavericky maverick” for trashing people like Ted Cruz when they wanted complete repeal, only to turn around and embrace it when the political winds shifted. Beck asked, “He’s not a wacko bird saying we should repeal this thing, is he?”

He not-so-subtly accused McCain of only embracing complete repeal now because he’s just that opportunistic.

“Does he think there is a chance now, and so he could look like the leader that he always has been. Oh my goodness. ‘Cause now, if we have a chance, he’s already destroyed everyone else, and if he can just make it look mavericky, the GOP could look like this was their idea and they’re working together with the maverick! Oh, what a win for the progressives!”

Beck also thought McCain always acts pompous about being a war hero to the point where it’s not just a dead horse, it’s the rotted corpse of a dead horse he’s thrown in the closet to keep from stinking up the place.
