GOP rep calls for McCain 'recall' amid cancer diagnosis, ObamaCare repeal fight

GOP Rep. Louie Gohmert on Monday urged Arizona to "recall" Sen. John McCain amid his recent brain cancer diagnosis, while criticizing his Republican colleague for going back on his 2016 campaign vow to repeal ObamaCare.

“[McCain] is one of those that said I will repeal—if he had said last year what he was going to do,” he would have lost, Gohmert, R-Texas, said on “Fox & Friends” early Monday.

“Nothing inhibits recovery from cancer like stress. I think Arizona could help him, and us. Recall him, let him fight successfully this terrible cancer, and let’s get someone in here who will keep the word he gave last year.”

There is no mechanism to recall a Senator. The most that can be done is a referendum to request him to withdraw which the treasonous POS will not do.

All they need to do is open the Vietnam War records that Kerry and McCain had sealed. He would NOT die a “war hero” if they were made public

Mcshame should count himself lucky that Trump stopped there.

Given how close Trump is to many veteran he will no doubt be well aware of “songbirds” reputation amongst them and how hated he is.

I surprised that McManiac had enough of a brain to even get cancer there

It is embarrassing to see a Representative who does not know what the Constitution says. There is NO “recall” and never was. There are two ways to change Congressmen: quit and expulsion by the relevant House - which rarely happens - once in my lifetime.

Calling for recall when you know you can’t is like voting for repeal and replace when you know it will be vetoed

McCain showed his honor when he was POW in Hanoi.
Since his return, he has displayed dishonor. I agree, the “Keating 5” was the time I lost most of the respect I had for the bumbling fool. He was a weak pilot, there because of his ancestors, and has cost the USA a huge dollar amount in aircraft. I no longer like the man.

Governors can't recall senators.

Arizona has a recall law. Voters can petition for a recall election for state and local officials.

But state recall laws haven't been applied to federal officials. So far, courts have rejected attempts to have recall elections of senators and representatives.

Thank you for that information...what a shame we can’t recall some of these people; RINO RYAN and MCCONNELL need to be in the same boat!!!

Too bad we don’t have term limits

But in Mc Anus’s case God has term limited him, hopefully very soon.

If McCain had any honor he wouldn't have betrayed the POW/MIA Vietnam vets when he reached the U.S. Senate...
