After he dealt a devastating blow to our social safety net last week, Senator John McCain is now asking for a handout.
On Monday, the Senator's Twitter account (https://twitter.com/SenJohnMcCain)made a tone-deaf request for more Twitter followers. The account was just short of 3 million followers by "74 persons," the tweet reported — would people be so kind to "spread the word & help us reach this big milestone!?"
Nope.

We're only 74 Twitter followers away from 3M - spread the word & help us reach this big milestone!
