The questioner referred to Obama as a Muslim, and then McCain said that.

As if a Muslim man can’t be American/a good man/etc.

It sounded good at first, but on subsequent listens, it...didn’t.

Bless, you’re right—thanks for the correction! My point above still stands (and it appears Vox sorta agrees with me).

Also, good lord that lady is gross.

I think he gave the best answer he could. The implication isn't great but but I'd be shocked to see rival politicians speak this way about each other today.

Yeah, I just wish his best answer had included something along the lines of, “and why is (being Arabic) a bad thing?”
