Sen. McCain Softens ‘Watergate’ Statement on Trump Administration Turmoil
The Wall Street Journal ^ | May 21, 2017 | Kate O’Keeffe

Sen. John McCain (R., Ariz.) on Sunday walked back earlier comments that the controversy surrounding investigations into potential collusion between associates of President Donald Trump and the Russian government had reached “Watergate size and scale.”

Mr. McCain, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, in an interview on Fox News Sunday said he had been referring to the way the Trump administration was managing the situation. “Now the question is, how is it handled? Is it handled the way Watergate was where it’s drip, drip, drip, every day more, or do we handle it like the—like Ronald Reagan handled Iran Contra?” he said. “It was a scandal. He fired people.

I hope that the Arizona voters have the good sense to replace this senile fool. He’s an embarrassment and is long overdue to be put out to pasture.
