In this case is was McCain, but it could have been any Republican speaking to any Republican audience seething with the racism that the GOP’s deep thinkers once thought they could control.
I happen to love the part at the end in which McCain impotently holds up a crucifix. What must McCain have been thinking? It keeps vampires away? I’m out of silver bullets? Oh shit?
From the WaPo writeup, via TPM:
“There are 11 million people living here illegally,” he said. “We are not going to get enough buses to deport them.”
Some audience members shouted out their disapproval.
One man yelled that only guns would discourage illegal immigration. Another man complained that illegal immigrants should never be able to become citizens or vote. A third man said illegal immigrants were illiterate invaders who wanted free government benefits.
McCain urged compassion. “We are a Judeo-Christian nation,” he said.
