Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsFox News sent Steve Doocy's baby boy to interview John McCain today...it was NOT pretty.
JOHN MCCAIN: Why would you say something that stupid? Why would you ask something that dumb? Huh? My job as a United States Senator, as a Senator from Arizona which I was just re-elected to, you mean that I'm somehow going to behave in a way that I'm going to block every because of some personal disagreement? That's a dumb question.
The version that ran on Fox News was ever so slightly edited...

(16,937 posts)As pizzed as we all may well be for putting Sarah Failing on a national stage, he does seem to be stretching up to smell the true air of what is going on.
With you - hope he puts it to good use and seals a legacy of doing the right thing.

(1,212 posts)At the end of an answer to Kasie Hunt's question about Trump 'fighting back', McCain said he did not want to confront President Trump, he wanted to work with President Trump. Very professional, politic statement.
Then the fool from Fox sprung his canned question as if he had not been standing by McCain when he answered Hunt.
I've been watching for MSNBC to post the real clip. I think this shortened one was apparently put up by a RWNJ.

(16,876 posts)And frankly Doocys Son was a moron for asking such a dumb ass gotcha question....the question was asked in the hopes of illiciting a response from McCain, and he provided it...just not the way they were anticipating!

(4,066 posts)Since 45 has made petty personal vendettas part and parcel of Washington DC politics now it actually isn't all that dumb a question.
Offensive, certainly. Offensive to assume that McCain would be as petty and self-serving as 45 but not out of the question for many, many GOP Senators and Congress Critters.

(15,391 posts)I mean, it can be a dumb question in two ways - 1. Do you think that I'm petty that I would do that? And 2. Of course I'm that petty - why would you even ask that?
