John McCain is criticizing President Donald Trump's immigration ban, statements on torture, and attacks on the press while also pledging to investigate any possible ties the commander-in-chief and his administration may have to Russia and Vladmir Putin.
In an interview with New York Magazine, Senator McCain reveals that after President Trump defeated Hillary Clinton back in November he was fully prepared to back his fellow party member, despite the pair's contentious relationship in the past.
However he quickly found himself at odds with the billionaire businessman.
The 80-year-old war hero saves his harshest words however for Russia and leader Vladmir Putin, and says that their decision to hack the recent election was a greater threat to the United States than any recent terror attack.
'The severity of this issue, the gravity of it, is so consequential because if you succeed in corrupting an election, then you’ve destroyed the foundation of democracy,' says McCain of the hacking.
'So I view it with the utmost seriousness. I view it more seriously than a physical attack. I view it more seriously than Orlando, or San Bernardino.'
He then added: 'As tragic as that was, the far-reaching consequences of an election hack are certainly far in excess of a single terrorist attack.'
Senator McCain later explains that this is why the United States must confront Russia, and why the Senate must put together a bipartisan select committee to probe President Trump's possible involvement with any members of the foreign government or their leader.

Ditto.
Sorry Johnny Boy. You’ve fallen for the commie propaganda being spewed by your retarded friends “across the aisle.” They are laughing their asses off at you. You really do need to consider hanging it up.
When Trump criticized McCain during the campaign he validated the quiet criticisms of many that McCain was no war hero either in action or captivity. His career as a politician was based on that narrative. He has no real accomplishments to show for his “public service” He will never forgive Trump for his criticisms and has a pathological jealousy of Trump’s ascendancy and victory. He will attempt to put a dagger in Trump’s back whenever he has the right opportunity.
What the heck is wrong with Juan? He’s unhinged.
He’s worried about Term Limits and not being able to stay in the Senate for another 100 years
I watched Hannity tonight. He stated that there is no proof that the Russians were behind the DNC hacking. It could have been. Or it could have been Donald Duck.
His two guests agreed.
Assuming this is true (and I do), where is the Russian connection to Trump? What possible reason is there for all the fuss except the Dems need for some fuss.
Is there ANY THERE THERE?
Any?
Rinos never let Rats laugh at them. /s
I view moron warmonger neocon traitors in the Senate as more serious than Orlando and San Bernardino.
Judas McCain.
Click on that and scroll through the titles.
Rosie loves him on Twitter. She is begging for him to save the country from trump.
Arizona recall?
Reverse ace John McCain should stick to talking about stuff he is expert on like negligent airplane crashes.
She was probably calling him "Hitler" when he was running against Obama.
He keeps implying voting machines were hacked.
Trump won and they want to blame the boogeyman Russians.
There’s no basis in fact for it. There was allegedly some cyrillic (sp) alphabet hacking program used at some point, but that could have been from anywhere.
Podesta lost 2 blackberries and had a simple password. He also fell for a phishing online password request scam. Even AFTER Wikileaks began publishing his emails, Podesta didn’t change his Apple p/w. I saw on 4chan some guys showing they hacked him that night. They were just goofball kids - not Russian spies.
The whole narrative is concocted b.s. by the left.
The good people of Arizona need to recall this guy. He is no longer of sound mind.
I am starting to feel that the Russia meme going back to right after the election is a cover for some other much bigger story they wish for us to not learn about. Very similar to the internet movie coupled w gag orders after Bengazi.
Do him a favor and don’t build the wall on AZ border.
Pray America woke
The Senator’s new name is “John Insane”. No doubt about it. He’s ridden off the dusty Chisholm Trail into an arroyo of lunacy and he can’t get out.
