After his decisive “no” vote, McCain was praised up and down social media by liberal personalities who don’t often agree with the cancer-stricken senator, including comedian Kathy Griffin.

“Democracy worked tonight… barely. Whew! #skinnyrepeal. FYI, Mitch McConnell is lying through his turtle teeth right now,” Griffin wrote on Twitter.
Later in the evening, Griffin posted a photo of Republican politicians, including President Donald Trump looking surprised.

Griffin’s comments come several weeks after she was publicly dragged for participating in a photo shoot in which she held a decapitated head that was made to look like President Trump.
