Paul rips McCain: Take his press comments 'with a grain of salt'
2017-02-20
[WASHINGTONEXAMINER] Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., on Sunday warned against taking seriously comments his Senate colleague John Maverick McCain
... the Senator-for-Life from Arizona, former presidential candidate and even more former foot soldier in the Reagan Revolution. As an ordinary citizen he greased the infamous hookers peeing on the Obamabed in Moscow dossier in an attempt to smear President Trump...
of Arizona made on Saturday, in which the Arizona politician compared President Trump's actions toward the press to "how dictators get started."

"The thing is, I don't agree with his analysis and applying that to the president," Paul told Jon Karl, guest host of ABC's "This Week." "Everything that [McCain] says about the president is colored by his own personal dispute he's got running with President Trump and it should be taken with a grain of salt, because John McCain's the guy that's advocated for war everywhere. He would bankrupt the nation."

Paul, known for his noninterventionist foreign policy, also expressed relief that the 2008 Republican presidential nominee did not have a chance to act on his views as a commander in chief.

"And actually, we're very lucky John McCain's not in charge because I think we would be in perpetual war," Paul said.

#3  Senility is a dreadful disease ... but in McCain's case it will be an improvement.

#2  It's McCain's shtick. It (among other things) gets him re-elected.

#1  McCain is a bitter old mad man. I'm not entirely certain but I think Lindsey Graham's motivation must be money.
