https://www.rawstory.com/2018/08/burning-hell-fox-news-commenters-trash-john-mccain-hours-death/Although Fox News disabled comments in many of its stories about McCain, readers were allowed to express disdain for the late senator in several others.
One article about former Sen. Jon Kyls remembrance of McCain racked up nearly 1,500 comments in the first hour after publication. Multiple commenters said good riddance to McCain.
McCain was a traitor! LenardMiller205 wrote in the very first comment.
Not a hero. Hes a TRAITOR. Big difference, commenter BlackSix wrote.
Im sorry, but I cant celebrate the life of a man who has done so much evil, Oldster13 opined. He is burning in Hell right now, and receiving the due payment for his evil deeds.

(58,785 posts)McCain's political behaviors by default. The right owns him and his legacy. They own everything Republicans in congress have done over entire period since McCain entered in 1983.
