Joan Walsh on McCain: ‘Cowardly’ is putting Palin ‘a heartbeat away from the presidency’

Appearing on MSNBC’s PoliticsNation with host Al Sharpton, Salon columnist Joan Walsh defended President Barack Obama against Senator John McCain’s accusation of cowardice in response to the shooting down of flight MH17, bringing up a sore point for McCain: his selection of Sarah Palin as his running mate in 2008.

In a recent interview on Fox’s Hannity, the former presidential nominee accused the Obama administration of cowardice stating, “It’s just been cowardly. It’s a cowardly administration that we failed to give the Ukrainians weapons with which to defend themselves.”

Speaking on MSNBC, Walsh reminded the former naval pilot and POW that his comments were disrespectful to the commander-in-chief.
