Liberal Twitter Slams McCain For Rushing Back to D.C. to Vote on Obamacare Repeal

Late on Monday, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) announced that he will return to Washington D.C. to vote on tomorrow’s scheduled vote to open debate on future legislation to repeal and replace Obamacare.

Look forward to returning to Senate tomorrow to continue work on health care reform, defense bill & #RussiaSanctions https://t.co/VQBtovnwF1

Last week, the 80-year-old senator was diagnosed with brain cancer after he underwent surgery to remove a blood clot above his left eye.

However, Twitter users who oppose the repeal of the Affordable Care Act ripped McCain for giving his crucial vote.

It’ll be a special moment when John McCain gets a standing ovation before voting in favor of the dogshit healthcare bill written by scumbags

If 80 yr old John McCain left recovering from surgery to vote against a bill that kept him alive, hang it up folks, we’re done here.

I guess John McCain wants to be sure that, on his life’s final scoreboard, he’s killed more Americans than Vietnamese

John McCain is so desperate to take away my cancer-stricken mom’s health insurance, he is putting his own life at risk for it. Literally.

John McCain has one more chance to be who people say he is.
Stay home, senator. Or vote no.

Tomorrow the Senate will stand and applaud John McCain for bravely fighting cancer and then they’ll all vote to hurt people with cancer.

Remember, John McCain voted *against* creating a Martin Luther King Jr. holiday

“Maybe he’ll do the right thing and vote ‘no’!” John McCain couldn’t take the high road if you gave him three uncrashed planes to get there.

John McCain had brain cancer and has done heroic things. But he’s also done awful ones and tomorrow will be another stain on his memory.
