BACKFIRE! Code Pink attempts swipe at John McCain, accidentally serves up 'GREAT tribute' to the late senator [video]

As you know, Sen. John McCain passed away on Saturday at the age of 81. Code Pink figured that news would make it a good time for this flashback:

That time #JohnMcCain called us "low life scum" https://t.co/iIG7YN0l3F

For many, that was inadvertently a fantastic tribute to McCain:

Good times.

McCain wasn't always right but sometimes he just nailed it. https://t.co/2lnhMzoBNA
