McCain takes his Trump criticism to a whole new level, suggesting blame for chemical weapons attack in Syria
2018-04-09
Die already, you POS
Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) has made it pretty clear that he's no fan of President Trump; he delivered a whole speech that attacked Trump's worldview and seemed to knock Trump for receiving Vietnam deferments for bone spurs. But McCain's comments about Trump on Sunday might be his most severe to date.

In a statement Sunday afternoon, McCain indirectly blamed Trump for the chemical weapons attack in Syria, suggesting Trump's recent comments about leaving Syria "very soon" and his non-interventionist approach have "emboldened" Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

"President Trump last week signaled to the world that the United States would prematurely withdraw from Syria," McCain said. "Bashar Assad and his Russian and Iranian backers have heard him, and emboldened by American inaction, Assad has reportedly launched another chemical attack against innocent men, women and children, this time in Douma."

Wow. The comments came on an otherwise pretty politics-free weekend, but the severity of what McCain said shouldn't escape anyone's notice.
He's a loser and a warlover

#15  What scares me is that he sounded like this *before* the brain cancer. Even worse, we ran this human sh*t-post for president.

Hate to say it, but I believe his tiring arse rants may have tapered off somewhat following the brain cancer discovery.

#12  If he didn't like the Russian/Syrian/Iranian offensive in Syria he shouldn't have written them such a large check back in 2015.

I want to see the details of the Iran deal. I want them posted to Twitter and see the Technogarches dared to delete it.

A compensatory facade to compensate for his own imagined self-recriminations.
