Article snippet: Two liberal and two conservative senators debating health care were united on at least one point Monday evening: defending Sen. MORE from a tweeted attack from President Trump In response to a tweeted against the Arizona Republican, Graham said McCain has earned the right to "do whatever the damn hell he wants to." During Graham’s CNN debate with Sens. MORE, (R-La.) Trump tweeted video clips of McCain promising to repeal and replace ObamaCare. Trump tweeted: "My oh my has he changed-complete turn from years of talk!" McCain last week came out against the Graham-Cassidy legislation, saying he wants a bipartisan bill to go through the normal committee process. That's the same reason he gave when he helped defeat the ObamaCare repeal bill over the summer.  "To any American who has a problem with John McCain’s vote, all I can tell you is John McCain was willing to die for this country, and he can vote any way he wants to, and it doesn't matter to me," Graham said of his friend. Graham’s comments were applauded by the other three senators.
