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 Montenegro’s 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 number—perhaps 98, at least, of his colleagues—would 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.”

I’ve had my doubts about KY Rand, but he is light years ahead of the AZ McPain. If Rand had run his presidential campaign as he has performed in the past two months, he may have caught on, but there was too much competition.
Just to give the old demon a heart attack, Rand should have said “are you accusing me of treason? Because, I’m not the pilot to sang like a canary for the enemy during war.”
Take it to the old fart. He’s way too full of his nasty self.
I am working for McCain, he told me to lie, steal, kill, blame, or whatever it takes to kill Trump
McCain is a friggin turd, somebody wipe this piece of dogshit off of America’s shoe please.
My doctor friend suspects that McCain’s brutal treatment in the Hanoi Hilton affected his brain.
McCain has a lifetime record of selling others out to promote his own career, or cover his butt ...Hanoi Hilton ...Keating Five ...Gang of Fourteen ...etc., ...etc.
Very off the rails….guy needs a long vacay in a soft room.
He’s been unstable for a very, very long time. Decades. But perhaps he is now beginning to show early signs of dementia.
I watched a bit of a Senate hearing McCain chaired. It was pretty clear he is not all there.
McCain is a walking Thorazine advertisement.
It’s time to ready the 7th floor Farragut Suite at Bethesda.
Thanks for the link. The guy is quite interesting and knows what is happening. Funny, I probably wouldn’t talk to him if he was sitting next to me on a plane... and would have missed out. YouTube is really great.
He owns the machine here in AZ.....
I love my Senator Rand Paul
He was a willing cohort with his communist captors.
FUMcLame...traitor.
Here is one video that is really good from him too:
