The GOP lost because they don't represent most voters. Stop with the blame game.

No, Trump caused the whole blame thing. Period

Seems legitimate Attack the guy who quite obviously can't fight back.

Apparently McCain is still a maverick.

Maybe Lewis' wife will make him a nice sammich and he'll feel better about things.

Republicans just can't blame themselves for their inadequacy. Now they're blaming the deceased a war hero and man of honor who served his country in many way. Amazing. American are you listening? No GOP should be elected for at least the next 20 years.

If the GOP keep blaming others 2020 looks even better for Dems.

Cowardly blaming a dead war hero...classy

DISGUSTING! John McCain served his country honorably, in & out of uniform, till his death. If the GOP had MORE like McCain, they'd still have the House! It isn't McCain's fault that the party's bar has hit the gutter. The GOP did that on their own, back in the summer of 2016!

Blame a person who can’t defend themselves. You should be ashamed.

The loss was due to a lack of honor.

I think bone spurs caused the defeat

Hey SenJasonLewis

That’s partially correct.

Disgusting and reprehensible. John McCain had more compassion, decency and love of country in his little finger than this douche-bag could ever dream to have. Yet other byproduct of the waste product we now refer to as 🍊🤡. Impeach. Incarcerate. Execute.

Jesus who listens to these people

He’s been gone dince August. If you couldn’t do better, it is your fault.

There is a lot of blaming others for these GOP losses.

He lost because he is a sexist tool and brain dead Trump lover.

Despicable

RepJasonLewis We don’t like you or your politics. Don’t you dare blame McCain for your incompetence. Own your own failure.

Lol

And this is why Lewis and others in the GOP lost...they lie and are deceitful and the voters recognized that fact!

Wtf?

MeghanMcCain

So wrong

Here we go. Blame game starts except everyone pretends and ignores the one person responsible for the GOP defeat is Trump and his enablers in the GOP.

You lost because people lost confidence in you

Yes, Republicans find it abhorrent to blame our very safe, sunshine President.

He’s probably right truly believe McCain was a Democrat at heart

ImpeachTrump ImpeachTrumpNow 🌊⚡🌊⚡🌊⚡🌊⚡🌊⚡🌊⚡🌊⚡🌊✌✌✌

Fool

swear some people are just born idiots you mock a patriot you mock a veteran just when you think you cant get any lower you guys just dig dig dig. Mccain was a patriot and a true hero, he wasnt scared of the damn rain and he treated people with respect

It was your President,all by him self

Isn’t it cooler to blame Obama RepJasonLewis is a meat head. The kinda old guy who thinks women should be in the kitchen and the computer is just a fad.

How abhorrent does one have to get after losing.

oh! Was McCain on the ballot? Who knew? ....

Lewis is cut frm the same cloth as Trump. 2 blame a man who had decency & integrity-who has passed after a long illness, during which he still made major contributions 2 the country-is simply repulsive. House GOP defeat is due 2 the fact we R tired of these whiny crybabies.

If you don’t have game dude...

The GOP and Rep. Lewis should look higher.

WOW.... blame the dead man 😳

Shameful.

Why does the GOP blame everyone else for their problems? They conveniently ignore the fact that their lack of morals, their willingness to do any and everything for a profit is what is driving their downfall.

r_middagh GOP just stand in front of a mirror. You’ll see who’s responsible.

RepJasonLewis Shameless loser.

Republicans are idiots

MeghanMcCain How many more Republicans GOP Presidents are you going to let smear your father ? Disgusting Terrible Cowards

I agree, he showed what horrible people the GOP have become. God bless John McCain.

Mister you are as much as a disgrace as Trump. Senator McCain was the greatest president America never had. You on the other hand are a worn out joke.

Typical GOP behavior. Blame anyone but themselves for their loses.

What an utterly callous and stupid assertion; John McCain was terminally ill with cancer and died well before the 2018Midterms, and was one of 51 other GOP senators. He wasn't able to vote for 8 months prior to his death due to the deleterious effects of cancer treatments.

Thank you John!

Nah vote count is about it about the same.... repubs didn't show up in Arizona. Candidate was by far superior, but name recognition is key in house races

This is beneath contempt blaming a dead hero for the republicans failure to keep the house this is a major deflection

ImpeachTheNazi I don’t care, do you?

He’s right!

PammysParcels GOP, forever blaming.

How convenient that the scapegoat isnt alive to defend himself

Actually, had repeal of the ACA won, the Repubs might have lost the Senate, too. McCain's vote insured the Repubs could claim they favored keeping preexisting conditions as a plus for them.

It's not about the blame - it's about what you do while you are in office and how well you serve your constituents. You only need to look at yourself to know where to cast any blame. Try listening, and then taking action, and listening some more.

You are disgusting ! Just slip away....

Misplaced blame Jay

Maybe Graham could comment. 🙄

Of course they would blame a dead guy, that perfect for them ....

Easy to blame a dead man. How about the voters? Maybe they did not like the Republican candidates. Just a thought.

Real easy to pick on a guy who can’t defend himself.

Stop the blame game - start action against the Democrats or Trump!

Jason Lewis is a

Hey RepJasonLewis , if true this just elevates McCain. As for you, enjoy the dirt heap of history. You earned it.

Nevertheless, McCain didn't help - he was a member of 'the Resistance.'

How awesome is that!

I wonder how EliseStefanik feels? We will never know since she only speaks when given permission.

“Yeah...it was because of this guy that’s passed away and can’t defend themself. Yeah, that’s it.”

Mr. Lewis has taken lessons from the Trump blame book. If you lose, you must pick someone to blame.

What an idiot! John McCain's vote gave me hope that there was still SOME semblance of empathy for us constituents among the GOP. When he died, I knew that hope was gone starting with the response & lack of respect from your leader.

On Veterans Day? When did the GOP become the party of defense. They do nothing for our veterans and disrespect their own war heroes. And of course, their leader won’t visit our honored fallen if it’s drizzling outside.

He’s deceased, leave him in peace

Then thank you once again Maverick. Still impressing me from the grave. ripmav

Idiot

Jason, like so many in the Republican Party, needs an intervention.

So, you're saying the Party of 'PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY' is blaming a dead guy for its losses? irony

A real profile in courage this guy. Not.

WHAT!!!
