Celebrities can’t stop gushing over Arizona Sen. John McCain for his “act of heroism” Thursday night as he cast the deciding vote against a Republican bill to changes parts of Obamacare.
McCain was one of three Republicans who cast a “no” vote for the so-called “skinny repeal” bill. The others who joined him where Sen. Lisa Murkowski and Sen. Susan Collins.
Rosie O’Donnell praised God for the three senators, and in another tweet said that “America’s soul” was awakened by the vote. Michael Moore claimed that the move meant that “thousands of lives” were saved and that it was time to move to a single-payer health care system.

“Republicans crash and burn. Thousands of lives saved. The only fix to Obamacare now is to make it single-payer Medicare for All,” Moore tweeted.

Tons of respect for Murkowski and Collins, who took lots of shit from their own party but stood strong all week.

Bill should have lost 95-5. I have a hard time calling the 3 republicans who voted “no” heroes. It was obviously stupid and awful

Trump: “He’s not a war hero. I like people who weren’t captured.”
