John McCain slams Trump in Italy, recommits to America's role in world
Washington Examiner ^ | Sep 2, 2017, 2:42 PM | Robert King

Posted on 09/02/2017 12:34:41 PM PDT by conservative98

Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., said that America is still committed to traditional alliances and values, despite doubts that have emerged due to the "actions and statements of our president."

McCain said in remarks Saturday at the Ambrosetti Forum, a major economic and policy conference, that he realizes that he comes to Italy "at a time when many are questioning whether America is still committed to remaining engaged in the world, to upholding our traditional alliances and standing up for the values we share."

"It is true that there is a real debate underway now in my country about what kind of role America should play in the world," McCain said. "And frankly, I do not know how this debate will play out."

He added that the "future of the world will turn, to a large extent, on how this debate in America is resolved."

McCain added that he believes bipartisan majorities of Americans are in favor of alliances, trade, investment, and globalization.

"It may not look that way on Twitter, but that is what opinion polls clearly show, time after time after time," he said.

McCain is and Kerry was as unAmerican as Senators can get; making disparaging comments about their government and/or its president to foreigners on foreign soil.

It’s political grandstanding of the worst kind.

Did you ever hear GW Bush or his father make such kind of comments about B.Clinton or Obama, to the foreign press when they were on foreign soil? No. Disagree with them, as I did often enough, but they had and have more dignity and respect for the U.S. government and the office of the president than Kerry or McPain have ever had. Blowhards both of them.

Whatever happened to the decency of not criticizing the US president in a foreign country?!

McCain is only demonstrating his own lack of decency.

The Senator isn't looking to good in that photo.
It appears he's lost some weight (maybe a good thing.)
Also his hands have a strange look about them.
Perhaps it's the chemo and radiation treatments?

Of course he doesn’t. It is just extra armor in his anti-Trump jihad.

"Wanna bet his 'vacation' in Italy is being paid by the Senate?"

Yep. That's what I was thinking too.
Senate = taxpayer dollars!
Free vacations for our rich government
"masters of the universe" overlords.

What Trump should do is re-open the POW MIA research that McCain put the brakes on. there is a reason McCain wanted that stuff buried. Maybe he would shut his pie hole if the POW MIA stuff is revealed.

What’s sad is watching him not only destroy his own reputation but harming that of his father and grandfather who were true Naval heroes, but people will only remember this man.
