Armistice Day

[Angrboda]

Apparently disrespecting veterans on Veterans Day is "a Republican thing."

Republican U.S. Rep. Jason Lewis on Sunday blamed former Arizona GOP Sen. John McCain for the GOP’s loss of the U.S. House of Representatives — an opinion that drew a swift and angry rebuke from McCain’s family and supporters. McCain’s July 2017 vote against a Republican-led effort to scrap the Affordable Care Act put fellow Republicans in an electoral bind last week, Lewis, who was also defeated, wrote in The Wall Street Journal. “McCain’s last-minute decision prompted a ‘green wave’ of liberal special-interest money, which was used to propagate false claims that the House plan ‘gutted coverage for people with pre-existing conditions. That line was the Democrats’ most potent attack in the midterms,” Lewis wrote in a commentary piece under the headline “Who Lost the House? John McCain.”
