Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) on Sunday said he was “almost speechless” about a report that President Donald Trump disparaged former FBI Director James Comey during a meeting with Russian officials in the Oval Office.

“I’m almost speechless because I don’t know why someone would say something like that,” McCain said on “Fox News Sunday.”

The New York Times reported on Friday that Trump expressed relief about Comey’s termination to Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Russian Ambassador to the U.S. Sergey Kislyak. According to the report, Trump called Comey a “real nut job” and said he had “faced great pressure because of Russia” that was “taken off” by his decision to fire Comey.

The White House did not deny the accuracy of those quotes.

McCain on Sunday called Lavrov “nothing but a propagandist” and “the stooge of a thug and a murderer” who “had no business in the Oval Office.” With regard to Comey’s firing, McCain said he could not explain Trump’s decision.

“Mr. Comey was highly respected and highly regarded, so I can’t explain it. I don’t think it was a smart thing to do,” he said. “Honestly, I cannot explain a lot of the President’s actions.”

1. Worthless, castrated coward.

Such a worthless, worn out old clown.

[EleanorR]

5. Describes trump perfectly. He is a coward.

And the Russian probably have a good chuckle every day because they did the castrating.

[kacekwl]

14. +1000

[ThoughtCriminal]

2. He usually has a couple of words

"Troubled" or "Concerned", followed by doing nothing and enabling whatever was troubling him.

[Scarsdale]

16. I am speechless

said little lumpy Johnny. "Let me come on your show for the next few months, and I will tell you all about it" He has a "face for radio"

[LovingA2andMI]

23. Exactly....

John McCain is Full Of S**T with his adjective action words NEVER backed up by actually doing a damn thing.

[marylandblue]

3. Well it's not like he's ever insulted other respected people

like Senators or POWs or anybody like that.

[PSPS]

4. Certainly had no trouble speaking the word "aye" when confirming the criminal cabal.

[Bleacher Creature]

6. And yet, it's a near certainty that he'll do absolutely nothing.

I'm not sure how someone goes from being a war criminal to an actual traitor, but somehow McCain figured it out.

[Mr. Ected]

7. This isn't news. It's a broken record. It's annoying.

These half-assed critiques of Trump are as worthless as an inflatable dartboard.

[JI7]

8. I'm more speechless over those who still are speechless over Trump

Why did people expect him to be different than what he has been for decades.

[Amaryllis]

11. +1000

[SunSeeker]

9. Then DO something about it, McCain. Demand impeachment!

SHARTUS just gave highly classified info to a couple of Russan spy masters...after practically spooning with them.

[bucolic_frolic]

10. Why is McCain surprised?

Trump told him he wasn't a war hero. This is not awfully different. Trump can devalue anything to aggrandize himself.

[LakeArenal]

12. McCain has lost his moral compass. nt

[Scarsdale]

17. I doubt

that he ever had one.

[LovingA2andMI]

24. No, John McCain NEVER...

had a Moral Compass. Remember Sister Sarah Palin anyone?

[jaysunb]

28. +1 n/t

[niyad]

36. did he ever have one? cheating on one wife, calling another a **** on a live mic, and PALIN

and what was the name his fellow pow's called him? songbird???

[BumRushDaShow]

Hey Mclame - THAT is how he talks. Have you not been paying attention? He is "street" - rude, crude, and abrupt. He spouts endless fabrications, exaggerations, and lies and his "base" likes him that way, and people like you cower in the corner and support his ass.

[sprinkleeninow]

18. "...don't know why someone would say something like that."

Doh! Squatter-in-so-called-chief has no scruples. How these republicants spew loads of stupid hovno. The 's' word in Czechoslovak of which I yam a proud derivative. (My ancestry, not the 's' word!)
Drumpkopt's blender doesn't' go all the way to 'puree'. His elevator doesn't go all the way to the top.
Am presently Inna nasty girl mood.

[BumRushDaShow]

21. LOL

[kpete]

15. Almost

?

[Julian Englis]

19. Will Trump ever do something so outrageous that McCain finally acts?

Or is that too much to expect.

[mwooldri]

20. That makes at least two of us, Senator McCain.

I can't explain his actions either. Nor understand them.

[theaocp]

22. And who exactly give two fucks what that mummy says anymore?

He sold out his soul fucking years ago. Let him rot. Stop posting his shit unless he talks openly about impeachment. Fuck.

[LovingA2andMI]

25. This Right Here

[Dopers_Greed]

26. McLame is partially responsible

He cowered to Chump during the election.

[BeyondGeography]

27. I feel a sternly-worded letter coming on

And now, back to our regularly-scheduled programming.

[TryLogic]

29. OK, McCain. What are you going to do about it ???

[Bengus81]

30. McCain is always "shocked" and then you hear nothing from him. More of the same.....n/t

[JHB]

31. Say, senator, you could rectify that. It's not as if you're never on the shows...

You have every opportunity to not be "speechless" about it.

Do we need to say "please"? Get cracking!

[Enoki33]

32. He's also speechless about a lot of the other disgusting things

trump and his fellow Republicans have done.

[VWolf]

33. Speechless, concerned, disturbed

I'm getting pretty damn tired of these words, from ALL the repubs.

Do something, or STFU.

[dalton99a]

34. "I'm troubled by reports that Donald Trump shot somebody on 5th Avenue"

[unblock]

35. *almost* speechless? what would it take...?

[Jakes Progress]

37. mccain gets all his exercise by walking . . . back.

Gutless.

He loves the press he gets when he acts all mavericks in front of cameras. Back in Congress, he kisses mcdonnell's ring (ass) and falls in line.

What a sorry excuse for an American hero.

[NoMoreRepugs]

38. Poor Johnny McLame works so hard to

find a shred of the spotlight to stand in. Time to fade away and then blow away.

[hibbing]

39. Is he the only guest available for these Sunday shows?

I swear he's on them every damn week. He needs to just retire already.


Peace
