27. Tapper spent YEARS living inside McCain's digestive tract
Wed Jun 3, 2026, 05:06 PM
9 hrs ago

Jesus Christ, do you remember what a corny lovestruck dweeb he was around McCain? Sucking his medals on camera even, most distasteful. He not once EVER pressed McCain on a tough question or put him on the spot in all the many dozens and dozens of interviews they did, total free throws for McCain to whip out what insipid line his staff wanted that day.

By the end he was acting like a McCain family spokesman instead of a journalist.
