McCain rips Trump's congratulatory call to Putin as an insult to Russian people

BY MAX GREENWOOD - 03/20/18

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) blasted President Trump on Tuesday over news that Trump phoned Russian President Vladimir Putin to congratulate him on his recent electoral win. Putin won reelection in a landslide on Sunday — but both election observers and Putin's political opponents have charged that the vote was tainted by widespread fraud. In a statement, McCain called Trump's phone call to Putin an insult to "every Russian citizen who was denied the right to vote in a free and fair election to determine their country's future."

An American president does not lead the Free World by congratulating dictators on winning sham elections. And by doing so with Vladimir Putin, President Trump insulted every Russian citizen who was denied the right to vote in a free and fair election.

Isn't that special. Trump remembered to call and congratulate his dictator buddy Vova. According to Sarah Sanders in a White House briefing today, Trump did not bring up the Russian spy poisoning in Britain with Putin, he did not bring up the Russian bombing slaughter in Syria, and he did not bring up continued Russian meddling in US elections. Just enough time to slobber and wet himself.

I sure wish there were 51 GOP Senators who had McCains guts and smarts. Even with brain cancer he is smarter than most of them.

Don't hear much from the 'maverick' anymore, good to know he is still breathing!

again, by President Trump deciding to sell arms to the Ukraine and allowing them to defend themselves against Putin, he, President Trump, did more in one single action to hurt Vladamir Putin than that empty suited ***** Obama did in 8 ****ing years.

but keep peddling your BS story about Trump and Russia. plenty of morons on the left ready to ignore the facts and buy into it. so you're still good. (winking emoji)

Now if only McCain had taken more interest in the deep corruption of Washington DC all those years he was at the top of the food chain.

That and the forcibly silencing of the so called deplorables for all those years before Trump discovered us and offered himself as leader of The Rebellion.

 

[Acadia]

Nearing the end of a long and storied life, it's sad that McCain is choosing to bookend his career in this vitriolic fashion.

 

[Rogue Valley]

The White House also wouldn't say if Russia's election was "free and fair". Can't criticize Russia or Trump will throw a tantrum.

White House won't say if Russian election was 'free and fair'

McConnell strongly defends Mueller, criticizes Trump for calling Putin

Even McConnell slammed the traitorous fat ass in the Oval Office.

McCain wonders why he lost in 2008?

 

[Velvet Elvis]

Not surprised. McCain's been a closet liberal since well before he ran against Obama.

McCain should be shot, and then hung, and then buried ass up sticking out of the ground for a bicycle rack, that would be the only useful thing he ever did.

This thread is so funny. McCain rips ... McCain blasted ... I'd say: too many refried beans for the old fart :lol:

 

[Vetplus40]

McCain is a "gem" as compared to the piece of **** that you guys heleped elect.

Jdog, you're such a class act (not). Such typical Trumpkin nastiness. McCain (dying of brain cancer) can say what he wants.

This is an interesting one -- Newsweek is reporting (as of yesterday) that Trump did not congratulate Putin.
Trump Has Not Called Putin to Congratulate Him and Is Not Planning to, Says White House

But, of course, others are reporting that he did.

If Trump did congratulate Putin on his win, how do we know he wasn't just following Obama's lead -- Obama called and congratulated Putin in 2012 on his win then.

 

[Rosie1]

Hanging him upside down, etc. McCain already endured being a POW. If the Republicans had more moderates speak out, maybe their party wouldn't be supposedly struggling. I think Trump continues to do damage to the Republican party every day.

I have said for a long time now that McCain may very well be the last true republican...

 

[Rogue Valley]

Trump’s national security advisers warned him not to congratulate Putin. He did it anyway.

Trump was even warned IN CAPITAL LETTERS by his advisers to not congratulate Putin. Trumpova did so anyway.

Oh look, yet another Trump cultist attacks a man who has spent his life serving the United States. In case you missed it, Vladimir Putin is a brutal dictator who murders his opposition---congratulating him on rigging yet another Russian election is idiotic.

Do you mean like writing a bipartisan bill getting big money out of corrupting our elections?

Oh wait he did that didn't he?

Americans that dishonor a war hero and worship a draft dodger that supports a war criminal, are not Americans, and should immediately stop referring themselves as one.

No McCain knows exactly why he lost.

Her name was Sara...

She is the only reason I didn't vote for him. I could not in my right mind put a nut job that close to the presidency.

Sadly I would much rather see her in office now than the traitor in Chief we are currently suffering through.

Or not only trump but the complete anti American traitors that support trump (cadet bone spurs) and say incredibly vile things about a war hero.

Easy to spot Putin trolls isn't it? No true American regardless of party would disrespect a war veteran who has given so much for his country.

I lean left on many things but if you said that sitting on a bar stool next to me about an honorable war hero things would not go well.
