Short Take<\/strong>:<\/font><\/p>\n

From Alternet<\/a>: <\/font>Arizona Republican Kelli Ward<\/a> was blistered on Twitter on Sunday morning after it was revealed she and one of her staffers accused Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) of announcing that he was about to die at a time that would harm their campaign.<\/p>\n

Late Saturday, following the announcement that McCain had succumbed to brain cancer at his home, Arizona TV reporter Brahm Resnik shared tweets between the staffer and Ward herself, in which they complained about the timing of McCain\u2019s announcement that he was dying.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wonder if John McCain\u2019s trying to steal attention from Ward\u2019s bus tour by announcing his life is coming to an end,\u201d the staffer wrote, with Ward replying, \u201cI think they wanted to have a particular narrative that was negative to me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Well the next time John McCain dies, I hope he has the courtesy to consult these two fucking Republican idiots on the timing! RESIST<\/strong>!! VOTE BLUE<\/strong>!!  71 DAYS<\/strong>!!<\/font><\/p>\n
