‘We’re Laughing at You’: Maddow Slams GOPers Who Skipped Bergdahl Briefings to Do TV Hits
Mediaite ^ | June 8, 2014 | Andrew Kirell

Is there any truth to this? Did McCain really leave the briefing early to hold a presser? I really don't care for McCain, and I know how much he likes the camera.

However, I don't trust Maddow. She's just another cheerleader for the Democrats.

I have read at the time that many left because there was no new information disseminated.

Maybe the Republicans were too busy listening to the guys who were actually there rather than some politician who was thousands of miles away.

This administration is not going to release any negative information on the Bergdahl situation.

I wonder if she’ll be laughing after the released terrorists launch another attack on our soldiers or citizens??

It's been on a couple of news sites. McCain and Chambliss left early. Rand Paul didn't show up at all.
