A bipartisan pair of senators penned a letter to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo urging him to withdraw the Trump administration's nominee to a high-profile role over concerns that he has "spread misinformation" about immigrants and displayed a "lack of empathy" towards refugees.

This is McCain's and the media's little trick.

John McCain is a liberal republican, who joined with a liberal democrat on policy. That's not "bipartisan," it's like-mindedness.

But McCain's been pulling this crap for years, lending his name to liberal legislation to make it "bipartisan."

I think McQueeg’s faking glioblastoma to avoid prosecution.

The open-borders, globalist crowd is beginning to run scared. Trump is over the target with his ZERO-TOLERANCE policy.

Is McCain even alive; we need a proof of life appearance.

McCain is a leftist democrat hiding in plain sight in the R party.
I saw the two names in the headline and said to myself, “Coons must be a democrat”.

Duh.

No republican would align himself with McCain at this point. They all know he’s been exposed.

I’d like to see proof McCain is still alive and able to communicate.

So if I take a 12 year old girl with me to Washington D.C., force my way into the Senate chambers past armed guards and check points, I should expect a stay with her at the Weston Hotel?

The Globalist Leftist Uniparty no longer even attempts to hide their desires to “repeal and replace” the voters in this country that resist their takeover. #Resist

When Liberals lose, democracy has “failed”!

Now your statement is correct.

As far as anyone has said....no one has seen McCain around in a number of weeks. So this letter is probably written by the chief of staff in McCain’s office.

"In the letter, McCain and Coons suggest the nomination instead of "someone who is committed to the United States' legacy of promoting the human rights of displaced people." "The nomination of Mr. Mortensen for this position sends a chilling message to all those around the world who look to the United States as a beacon of hope and security for persecuted peoples," the letter adds."

These are not 'displaced' people. These are people who have chosen to leave their own countries, bypass Mexico (if not from Mexico), and illegally enter the US. It's not as though they were pushed out of their homelands.

Persecuted? If they are being persecuted in Central America and Mexico, then why haven't McCain and others condemned Mexico and these Central American countries for persecuting their citizens? Why isn't the main story the persecution of people in these countries? If this persecution is occurring, then shouldn't the focus be on holding the offending governments accountable?

McCain can't conduct Senate business while on vacation in Arizona. If McCain wants to waste America's time, get back to Washington!

Exactly....it’s bad enough that these elites are allowed these career-for-life terms....it’s even worse that they’re afforded AFTERlife terms.

McCain appears in DC to spew this crap, or he needs to shut up.

We need to demand an appearance by McCain. He talks a lot, but is never seen.

Ought to be some kind of rule that if you don’t appear once a month in the Senate chamber....your status is revoked and the governor can fill the slot.

This is the Senator Bryd scenario.
Bryd was brain dead in a bed for years but Reed had his Left Wing Aides
still voting etc.... The only difference is Bryd never had a rich ambitious second wife named Cindy.
