Arizona Sen. John McCain, a Russia hawk and occasional Donald Trump critic, blasted a report on the administration's new Syria posture just hours after revealing he had a cancerous brain tumor.

McCain's statement faulted the administration for reportedly ending a covert program begun during the Obama administration to provide arms to Syrian rebels battling President Bashar al-Assad.

Dying John McCain needs to resign NOW - he is unfit to carry out his office.

If I were McCain I might be thinking more about a spiritual future without politics.

I don’t think it’s my imagination that McCain seems angrier than ever, and more irrational. It’s not out of the question for a frontal lobe tumor to affect impulse control.

Yesterday I had tremendous sympathy for McCain because of his cancer diagnosis. I dislike him immensely, but I wouldn’t wish cancer on anyone. After reading this story, I find my sympathy drying up pretty fast.

Just when I was beginning to feel sympathy for him and hoping for a miracle cure ala Jimmy Carter.

I held back on McCain illness out of courtesy

No longer - the sooner this corrupt, statist, globalist, war-monger kicks off, the better for America

On Planet Congress, this is seen as “brave.” On Planet Earth, it’s seen as further evidence of just how horribly disabling Glioblastoma can be.

His last words will be a snarling vindictive slander of Trump.

Whenever I actually feel sorry for this man over his terminal illness, he gives me a reason not to give a hoot

These people are insane, corrupt or both. Their unwillingness to work with Russia on anything is unhinged.
