Mccain speech funny

Former senator Joe Lieberman gave a solemn eulogy for his departed friend and colleague Senator John McCain, who passed away last week after a battle with brain cancer.

To the assembled crowd, Leiberman recounted many tales of his times with McCain, recalling him not just as a talented politician but as a dedicated and moral man. Cindy McCain and the wonderful McCain family, presidents Clinton, Bush, and Obama, Secretaries Kissinger and Clinton and all of the other honored guests that are here, ladies and gentlemen, becoming John McCain's friend is one of the great blessings of my life.

His eulogy to the senator, who died at age 81 after a year-long battle with brain cancer, lauded McCain as a courageous patriot, able to find common ground with those vastly different from himself and as an exemplification of what Americans should strive to embody. To John's beloved family, Mrs. Biden, Vice President and Mrs. Cheney, Vice President Gore, and as John would say, my friends.

John McCain has been one of the defining features of his presidency so far. In remarks that started percolating on the campaign trail and have persisted in the years since, Trump has criticized the former presidential nominee, focusing on his military service and the time he spent as a prisoner of war in Vietnam. Once he took office, the president targeted issues McCain voted on that opposed his policies —- and continued blasting McCain even after his brain cancer diagnosis.
