Actor Kumail Nanjiani's hot take on John McCain proves NO Republican will ever be good enough for libs

For the “just can’t win” file, actor Kumail Nanjiani unfairly attacked Sen. John McCain this weekend, saying the longtime Arizona Republican didn’t speak out enough when “vile stuff was said about other people/races/nationalities”:

Got that? McCain standing up to birther BS in 2008 is how we get Trump … or something:

His picking of Sarah Palin as his running mate is somehow involved, too:

Is there any Republican politician who has taken more of a stand against Trump than McCain?

I’m all for more people taking an interest in politics, but new observers need to be a little more careful than this. https://t.co/5nhHt8fEzc

But remember when he refused to fuel the Islamophobia against Barack Obama during the campaign? He lost the election but won respect, imo. Which makes him a better man than a politician; ain't nothing wrong with that. https://t.co/MMQv73ovXc

This is quite an ignorant statement, unfortunately. Anyone with a a sense of history that goes back just a decade can recall McCain shutting down EXACTLY this sort of thing. Then, to imply that society's failings are McCain's fault? …That's just dumb. https://t.co/4QzL6GAHCf
