now John McCain is being honest John McCain when on Fox News and he said
the shutdown whatever it is that the administration did wrong
the shutdown only took place because the republicans trying to find a way to
defund Obamacare
which is not going to happen and I'm gonna play a clip for you where he's
being interviewed by Martha mccollum
from Fox News and she doesn't like what John McCain is saying and you can hear
her signing at the very end to the clip
and she says well we'll see if we can defund Obamacare check this out
I talk to me about how you think this has been handled by the white house
I think it's been terribly handled by the white house but
let's have a low straight talk Martha they wouldn't have had the opportunity
to handle it that way
if we had not shut down the government on a fool's errand
that we were not going to accomplish the the whole premise of shutting down the
government was a repeal Obamacare
I fought against Obamacare harder than any other people who want to shut down
the government
I campaigned all over this country in 2012 saying elect Mitt Romney and will
repeal and replace Obamacare
we weren't going to defund Obamacare and so we shut down the government and then
that gave
the opportunity for this to be terribly awfully
mismanaged and mishandled by the white house we had shut down the government
this wouldn't have happened what on the debt limit now
there are things that we could require we could negotiate with the president
about some entitlement reforms from tax reforms
things that are achievable defunding Obamacare
is not one of them well we'll see I
you know how to get put together guarantee it you know not only will you
see
I guarantee it so there is Martha mccollum just doesn't like
the fact that John McCain is being in
he's just being honest right Louis which is this isn't going to work
it is the republicans' fault that this shutdown took place
and it is not going to succeed in defunding Obamacare
I guess it's just not really playing into like that the Fox News
I am what would you call it the *** there is a plan the narrative yeah
yeah its clearly clearly some great journalism coming to us from Fox News
fair and balanced doubters
there's no bias here at all yeah and
by the way when you actually look at
what John McCain is saying it's completely uncontroversial
even among just national polls about what
what happened here right how did the shutdown start it's completely
uncontroversial but unfair unbalanced
Fox News Louis I guess he saying something that is just very very
difficult to believe I don't know
well it's that they don't want to believe it it's that they want to try
and convince
their viewers that there is a good reason for the shutdown in that it might
achieve something it
of course mccain's being realistic it achieves nothing
