McCain, Graham and Rubio were arming jihadists in Libya and Syria.
They are enemies of the American people.

If Trump has any evidence of this, he must wave it in front of them and threaten to expose it unless they play ball and vote for his nominees.
Then expose it anyway afterward for the death blow...
There are pictures of them meeting with founder of ISIS.
I have seen them here on FreeRepublic.

December 8, 2016 Press Release
Rep. Tulsi Gabbard said, “Under U.S. law it is illegal for any American to provide money or assistance to al-Qaeda, ISIS or other terrorist groups. If you or I gave money, weapons or support to al-Qaeda or ISIS, we would be thrown in jail. Yet the U.S. government has been violating this law for years, quietly supporting allies and partners of al-Qaeda, ISIL, Jabhat Fateh al Sham and other terrorist groups with money, weapons, and intelligence support, in their fight to overthrow the Syrian government.[i]
“The CIA has also been funneling weapons and money through Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Qatar and others who provide direct and indirect support to groups like ISIS and al-Qaeda. This support has allowed al-Qaeda and their fellow terrorist organizations to establish strongholds throughout Syria, including in Aleppo.
“A recent New York Times article confirmed that ‘rebel groups’ supported by the U.S. ‘have entered into battlefield alliances with the affiliate of al-Qaeda in Syria, formerly known as al Nusra.’ This alliance has rendered the phrase ‘moderate rebels’ meaningless. Reports confirm that ‘every armed anti-Assad organization unit in those provinces [of Idlib and Aleppo] is engaged in a military structure controlled by [al-Qaeda’s] Nusra militants.’
“A recent Wall Street Journal article reported that many rebel groups are ‘doubling down on their alliance’ with al Nusra. Some rebel groups are renewing their alliance, while others, like Nour al-Din al-Zinki, a former CIA-backed group and one of the largest factions in Aleppo are joining for the first time. “The Syria Conquest Front—formerly known as the al-Qaeda-linked Nusra Front—is deeply intermingled with armed opposition groups of all stripes across Syria’s battlefields.”
“The CIA has long been supporting a group called Fursan al Haqq, providing them with salaries, weapons and support, including surface to air missiles. This group is cooperating with and fighting alongside an al-Qaeda affiliated group trying to overthrow the Syrian government. The Levant Front is another so-called moderate umbrella group of Syrian opposition fighters. Over the past year, the United States has been working with Turkey to give this group intelligence support and other forms of military assistance. This group has joined forces with al-Qaeda’s offshoot group in Syria.
“This madness must end. We must stop arming terrorists. The Government must end this hypocrisy and abide by the same laws that apply to its’ citizens.
“That is why I’ve introduced the Stop Arming Terrorists bill—legislation based on congressional action during the Iran-Contra affair to stop the CIA’s illegal arming of rebels in Nicaragua. It will prohibit any Federal agency from using taxpayer dollars to provide weapons, cash, intelligence, or any support to al-Qaeda, ISIS and other terrorist groups, and it will prohibit the government from funneling money and weapons through other countries who are directly or indirectly supporting terrorists,” concluded Rep. Tulsi Gabbard.
I like his style
Awesome interview. Awesome lady. She’s a decorated war veteran, a military officer, and a foreign policy expert. She is so reasonable and winsome.
The Islamofascists in the ME are wearing and shooting US military equipment. We, the American people, are suckers.
Gohmert on WBAP this morning gave respect to McCain for his experience as a POW. Then he listed several things McCain has done and supports that Gohmert said caused him to have real concern about McCain’s decision making and what he supports that are not good for the US. Wasn’t it established that McCain hired a PhD who supports our enemies? Either he is corrupt or gets terrible advice and is a tool of whoever tells him what to say. Both possibly.
I will start recording Tucker’s show so I can start my day off with a good mood.
Our local tv stations are full of Never Trump BS and fake news re Trump.
Not guilty.
A pleasant looking woman.
True and this is all getting ready to come out!
