The death of John McCain caused mixed feelings and triggered a heated debate over the American values represented by the Republican. While some commended McCain\u2019s patriotism, others questioned his moral integrity.<\/p>\n
Following the announcement of 81-year-old John McCain\u2019s death, the public took to social media to express their condolences and share mixed feelings about the Republican\u2019s life and deeds.

\u2018Hero representing best US ideals\u2019: Politicians & public figures praise McCain\u2019s legacy<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n In his 36 years of service in Congress, McCain had acquired a reputation as a maverick Republican who was not shy about throwing American troops in harm’s way. Over the years, McCain advocated for military intervention in a number of countries including Bosnia, Kosovo, Georgia, North Korea, Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, Syria, Kuwait, Libya, Nigeria, and Mali.<\/p>\n The entire establishment is in agreement that Mccain was a hero. Meanwhile almost every single conservative rightly abhors him for a multitude of reason such as helping the FBI frame Dt as a Russian agent, arming radical Islamists, asking the IRS to ruin conservatives etc etc<\/p>\n \u2014 Lawrence Polyakov (@Larrypolya22) August 26, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n This is a map from 2013 of the many countries where unrepentant warmonger John McCain had called for US military intervention: \u2014 Ben Norton (@BenjaminNorton) August 26, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n McCain also adamantly lobbied against Russia and China \u2013 policies which some Twitter users found confrontational and potentially disastrous.<\/p>\n I have no sympathy to #McCain<\/a> and he was no hero. War criminal yes. The guy was responsible for hundreds of AMERICANS deaths in Vietnam, giving up American positions while captured. #traitor<\/a>#liberal<\/a> oh and I served my country honorably don\u2019t@ me if you have your thong on reverse<\/p>\n \u2014 Mike_L (@M_OsO331) August 26, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n Calling him a \u2018warmonger,\u2019 some users recalled McCain\u2019s rendezvous with Syrian militants and even accused him of conspiring \u201cwith Hillary and Obama to create ISIS.\u201d<\/em> Others directly accused the deceased senator of pursuing his ideals at the cost of entire nations and wanting \u201cto wipe Syria, Iran, Iraq, Palestine, and Vietnam off the map.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n If you are a non-interventionist, you should already know that McCain was a war monger, in the pocket of military industrial complex and is responsible for hundreds of thousands of dead. He meddled for war in the Middle East and Ukraine. He was an evil, entitled, heartless man.<\/p>\n \u2014 #BernierNation 🇨🇦 (@Gus_the_Weim) August 26, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n Oh god bless John McCain. His only crime was wanting to wipe Syria, Iran, Iraq, Palestine, and Vietnam of the map. God bless the man who unapologetically championed for the slaughter of entire nation’s but yeah the people who are glad he’s dead are the real assholes<\/p>\n \u2014 Solidaridad Comrade (@StienYoGirl) August 26, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n \u201cIf you are a non-interventionist, you should already know that McCain was a war monger, in the pocket of military industrial complex and is responsible for hundreds of thousands of dead.

Now they love him!<\/p>\n \u2014 Mike Cernovich 🇺🇸 (@Cernovich) August 26, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n Amid the torrent of praise from acting and former politicians as well as public figures, some people claimed that, while McCain was a useful \u201ctool\u201d of the GOP, his public image and policies nonetheless tarnished the entire Republican party\u2019s reputation.<\/p>\n John McCain was a Judas Iscariot, a traitor, to the GOP.
