Lie April 25, 2019 · Interview · Health care
“And we had it done [a plan to repeal and replace Obamacare]. It was done and then John McCain at the very last moment late in the evening went thumbs down and everybody said, what was that? John McCain went thumbs down. He did the Republican Party a tremendous disservice and did the nation a tremendous disservice. Tremendous. And it's unfortunate but we had it done. And had we known he was going to -- because he said he was voting for it all day long. Had we known he was going to vote against it, I think we could have convinced one of the other two people that voted against it. We could have convinced them. I feel confident to go for it. But we didn't even try because we knew we had John McCain and we had everybody, and we're all set. And he went thumbs down at the very last moment.”
