“There have been 2 terror attacks in 2 days, major wars raging and Americans can’t pay for groceries. We are a country in rage, uncertainty and intensity right now,” she wrote.

“This is why the world doesn’t like you, nothing else. Just completely and utterly tone deaf to the moment.”
McCain’s remarks echo lots of the reactions to the present on YouTube and throughout social media.
