Satirically saying “thoughts and prayers” in response to the murder of a human who was, at worst, guilty of having an offensive political stance makes you a part of the problem you’re mocking.
John McCain and I didn’t always agree, but he understood that some values transcended parties. He knew that if we got in the habit of bending the truth to suit political expediency or party orthodoxy, our democracy will not work.
John McCain had character. That’s what I think about so much these days because it’s so different from what we see out of the Republican nominee.
