Dan Bongino: McCain a 'Pawn for the Media' With Trump Complaints
The Washington Examiner ^ | February 20, 2017 | Sandy Fitzgerald

Sen. John McCain has become a "pawn for the media" with his complaints about President Donald Trump, despite being treated poorly by the media himself while he was a presidential candidate, former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino said Monday.

"They beat him up when he was the Republican nominee, despite the fact they loved him before that," Bongino told Fox News' "Fox & Friends" program. "I wish he would see that he is being used here just to destroy Trump. That is his only role here, that [he] be that Republican voice against Trump."

.
"If they had a Democratic senator during the Obama administration speaking out religiously and fervently how bad Barack Obama was, the media would do everything they can to brush him aside, and give him five or six sections of airtime to discredit him later," said Bongino.

John McCain is a blithering idiot, an arrogant moron and a menace to America and Americans.

One of the dumbest things I have ever done in my life is vote for this a$$hole.

McCain is a pawn in a far, far bigger game.

The upcoming battle will be between Americanism and Marxism.

RINOs like McCain and Ryan are sideshows

This POS has used his time in Vietnam as a crutch. Frankly, my “appreciation for service meter” has run out! He is reminding me of Bowe Bergdahl.

Far worse than a pawn. Soros has been giving him money. McCain is no stranger to jail, anyway : )

I would say “useful idiot” is a better term that fits McCain better than pawn.

John McCain is no doubt doing the media’s bidding.

Sad to say but I believe that McCain has been a pawn for the left ever since he checked out of the Hanoi Hilton.

Yep, he gets no appreciation for that from me. He has used all that capital and then some.

The man is a straight up traitor. He disgusts me.

I agree with you 100% except for the labels. Whereas Juliet pondered, "what's in a name?", I think it's important for current and future generations to understand what this fight is really all about. If we can clearly establish descriptive terms, then ongoing discussions won't get 'lost in translations'. So here are my labels:

Individuals: Represented by sovereign nations controlled by the People that is subject to law and is responsive to their (social/economic) needs.

vs

Globalists: Hidden behind un-elected, un-accoutable supra-national associations that conspire to disenfranchise the People of their (social/economic) needs.

Individuals can be also referred to as nationalists & patriots, whereas globalists are aligned with the US uni-party.

The media, McCain, Graham, and a host of others are firmly in the globalist camp. They are in effect traitors to the very people they purport to represent. Once identified as an enemy tool, they shouldn't have any further influence other than that which is still allowed by custom and tradition. As time progresses, these roles tool will be removed so that a clear bright line is visible for any who wish to look.

McCain is not “being used”. He knows exactly what he’s doing.
