The long-simmering war between Sens. John McCain and Rand Paul boiled over on Wednesday when the Arizona lawmaker directly accused his colleague of working for Russian President Vladimir Putin.
While speaking from the Senate floor in support of a bill advancing Montenegros bid to join the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), McCain noted objection from his Kentucky colleague, saying that if you oppose the measure, You are achieving the objectives of Vladimir Putin... trying to dismember this small country which has already been the subject an attempted coup.
Several moments later, after the 80-year-old senator asked for unanimous consent to move the bill forward, Paul took the mic to raise his objection before dramatically exiting the room.
In response, McCain began railing against Paul, his voice trembling with anger: I note the senator from Kentucky leaving the floor without justification or any rationale for the action he has just taken. That is really remarkable, that a senator blocking a treaty that is supported by the overwhelming numberperhaps 98, at least, of his colleagueswould come to the floor and object and walk away.
He then directly connected Paul to the Russian government: The only conclusion you can draw when he walks away is he has no justification for his objection to having a small nation be part of NATO that is under assault from the Russians.
So I repeat again, the senator from Kentucky is now working for Vladimir Putin.

McLame is off the rails.
I never thought I would say this, but . . .

John McCain has gone bonkers. I TRULY Believe he is unstable.

Look.
Seriously.
At some point, you just have to hospitalize Grampa for his own good.
It is probably just the opposite.
Libelous.
These days is it a resume enhancer to have McCain say something bad about you?
All kidding aside, I have NEVER cared for Rand Paul, but this spew from the non-hero, completely INSANE, needs to be put into a straightjacket ASAP, John McLoony, is beyond even his normal insanities.
Why, Arizona, WHY???
Yeah.
He is dumb, for one, I think.
But he’s getting senile. It’s one thing to be his typical McCainiac idiot, but this is going overboard in a way that can’t be excused away.
Pressure needs to be put on him to retire.
We are all Negan.
Am beginning to think that McCain is the REAL “Manchurian Candidate”. What the hell did they do to him in that prison??
“Why won’t you die?!”
Freddy from “Freddy vs. Jason” :)
Cindy needs to put him in a home.
He had him with the strawberries.
McCain is just sad. The old guy needs to be retired and sent home for his own sake.
That’s not a Russian plot in your Depends Johnny.
