John McCain Rips Trump-Putin Presser: ‘Pathetic,' ‘Disgraceful,' ‘Erratic,' ‘Painful'
The Arizona senator released a statement describing President Trump’s remarks during the press conference as "pathetic," disgraceful," and "painful" to observe ‐ "a recent low point in the history of the American Presidency." "Today’s press conference in Helsinki was one of the most disgraceful performances by an American president in memory. The damage inflicted by President Trump’s naiveté, egotism, false equivalence, and sympathy for autocrats is difficult to calculate. But it is clear that the summit in Helsinki was a tragic mistake," Sen. McCain’s statement begins. "President Trump proved not only unable, but unwilling to stand up to Putin. He and Putin seemed to be speaking from the same script as the president made a conscious choice to defend a tyrant against the fair questions of a free press, and to grant Putin an uncontested platform to spew propaganda and lies to the world."
