The long-simmering war between Sens. John McCain and Rand Paul boiled over on Wednesday when the Arizona lawmaker directly accused his colleague of working for Russian President Vladimir Putin.
While speaking from the Senate floor in support of a bill advancing Montenegros bid to join the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), McCain noted objection from his Kentucky colleague, saying that if you oppose the measure, You are achieving the objectives of Vladimir Putin... trying to dismember this small country which has already been the subject an attempted coup.
Several moments later, after the 80-year-old senator asked for unanimous consent to move the bill forward, Paul took the mic to raise his objection before dramatically exiting the room.
In response, McCain began railing against Paul, his voice trembling with anger: I note the senator from Kentucky leaving the floor without justification or any rationale for the action he has just taken. That is really remarkable, that a senator blocking a treaty that is supported by the overwhelming numberperhaps 98, at least, of his colleagueswould come to the floor and object and walk away.
He then directly connected Paul to the Russian government: The only conclusion you can draw when he walks away is he has no justification for his objection to having a small nation be part of NATO that is under assault from the Russians.
So I repeat again, the senator from Kentucky is now working for Vladimir Putin.

“Crash” McCain has lot it.
This crazy obsession with Russia, war, etc is exposing his senility.
He needs mental evaluation.
Did it ever occur to this self hating anti Vietnam war idiot McCain that Montenegro might still have deep state communists and Soviet trying to infiltrate Nato?
What
Must
It be like to overhear mcain
And Lindsay when they are alone??
Thanks, Arizona. Thanks for nothing.
There’ll be no more, ah!
But you may feel a little sick.
I agree, Ron Paul is a bit weird and a bit of a “know it all.” But he is personable and his stances are always principled, as far as I can tell from afar. McCain? POS
You know, McCain made a lot of money in the Lincoln Savings and Loan scandal. Not only did he not go to jail, he never really apologized or admitted more than making a “mistake in judgment.” That McCain has the audacity to lecture Ron Paul makes me sick. It was cool that Paul simply walked away as he remembered the Kentucky saying about not “rasslin a pig.”
Sen. Rand Paul, not Ron the retired Congressman.
He's been unstable for a very, very long time. Decades. But perhaps he is now beginning to show early signs of dementia. Calling a fellow senator an agent of the Russians simply because McCain doesn't agree with what Rand Paul said surely is not the sign of someone completely in his right mind. It's genuinely bizarre behavior even for the infamously nasty McCain.
I've known ALL about sicko McLame since he was finally sprung from the Hanoi Hilton. The POS has ALWAYS been a rotter and as corrupt as can be.
Thank you for your service, Senator McCain. Your porch and cane are over there - please stay there.
That picture looks like Soros is trying a jedi mind trick on McCain and he’s saying “put that away, you don’t need it with me. I’m on board.”
His mind is completely gone. Something needs to be done with him and strip him of the office he holds.
What a disgusting man. He needs to be swept out of office with all the other ancient rubbish infecting DC.
McCain’s mind is not gone. He is merely serving his masters, but Trump is foiling their plans and that has driven McCain into fits of rage.
Did McCain crash another plane and suffer a head injury?
Johnny is suffering from Rooskiphobia.
I’m going to assume it’s because the Dems vote for him and support him, knowing full well their Dem would never win, and McCain is a very useful idiot of the left and most likely compromised by his days in vietnam, and possibly something scandolous like pedophilia or homsexuality or ??? He truly behaves like a man that is being blackmailed.
Am I off base??
McCain is finished. He needs to be wheeled out to the farm.
