One of his proudest moments
This really is something else.

One of my proudest moments [was] when I lookeda Barack Obama in the eye n I said [raising hand and pointing as if sticking his manly finger in Obama’s face] “Mister President you will not fill this Supreme Court VAcancy.”
You just know what he was really saying was “Nigga you will not fill this Supreme Court VAcancy.”
The crowd cheered.
He (and the Republicans in general) had no actual substantive reason to refuse to fill the seat. None. It was a complete defiance of precedent, rules, normal procedure, the whole idea of working together to accomplish necessary functions of government. It was just a power move, and a calculated insult to Obama.
Well he won’t be saying “one of my proudest moments was when I stood up to Donald Trump…”, so it’s sauve qui peut, I guess.
GOP representatives will always be known for setting the bar to new lows what makes them proud.
I would bet the fortune I don’t have that McC never once wagged a finger at Obama and told him how things were going to be. Truth be told, he was nowhere near Obama but huddled somewhere safe with a few of his fellow racist Repubs when he said ‘We gotta block the nigga’s choice, boys”.
He’s old, he just remembers things a little differently.
