Tom Teves: "I Have VOTED Republican My Whole Life,...“I’ll NEVER Vote Republican Again — EVER!"

[D Gary Grady]

74. McCain's expression of sympathy edited out

I'm not a McCain fan, but in the interest of accuracy, it's worth noting that what he said was seriously distorted by some Breitbart-style editing. McCain's full response was: "Well first of all could I say thank you, and God bless, and thank you for your service and sacrifice you've made. Our hearts and our prayers go out to you and your family. And I just had a town hall meeting yesterday in Tucson, and there were people there who were affected by this terrible tragedy of the shooting there. I met with Mark Kelly and Gabby Giffords in my office last week on this issue. As you know, they are becoming, understandably, great advocates on this issue. And I will continue that conversation. I can tell you right now you need some straight talk. That assault weapons ban will not pass the Congress of the United States. it won't."
