McCain Says Rand Paul "Working For Putin" - Not Given Elizabeth Warren Treatment

Oh, you all are going to love this one. John McCain gets really pissed at Rand Paul on the Senate floor today and angrily says multiple times, in slightly different words, that Paul is "now working for Vladimir Putin.”

The item? Nobody on the Senate floor -- not Mitch McConnell, not the presiding officer -- went into a Rule 19 hissy-fit like the one they pulled on Elizabeth Warren on February 7. Remember that? Now there's a double standard.

Read on (article includes video of McCain's outburst)

The video is in the article and it proves exactly what I wrote in the article. I have filed an abuse notice with DU.

It most certainly is not fake news. Did you watch the video until the end?

McCain says: "So I repeat again. The senator from Kentucky is now working for Vladimir Putin."

Retract or delete your statement immediately.
