Its too bad he was so nervous in reading a prepared statement. If he had spoken from his heart it wouldn't have allowed McCain to be so smug and condescending.
Since McCain got the last word in, and a sheeple is not allowed in those meetings to get back up and say anything, I don’t think he had any control over McCain’s response. Even though he was nervous (wouldn’t we all be?), I thought what he said was right on, every bit of it, and bravely stated, and McCain just showed his cowardness and lowness as a person.
