John McCain is an American hero & one of the bravest fighters I've ever known. Cancer doesn't know what it's up against. Give it hell, John.

I love that from Obama.

But I don't forget McCain's 35-year, mostly successful fight to serve business by betraying the people, including his 10-year fight to get the ACA repealed, no replacement, lying to every audience that it couldn't work. He was in the Republican house and senate caucuses, most of that time in leadership positions, over the entire period they became rotten to the core and collapsed into total corruption.

He's who and what he's always been.
