Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey Friday visited the Navajo Nation reservation’s capital Window Rock to celebrate the Native Americans whose indecipherable language helped keep messages secret from enemies during World War II.

The event though was met by a protest regarding the federal government’s response to a toxic spill into rivers considered a lifeline for reservation and halted use of water for residential and agricultural use.

According to Native News, McCain and Ducey met with Navajo Nation President Russell Begaye and Vice President Jonathan Nez to discuss the creation of a Navajo Code Talkers Museum.

But the recent spill of millions of gallons of contaminated wastewater into the Animas and San Juan Rivers by a contractor doing work for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ended up being the focus for the tribal leaders.

Protesters ran after SUVs that some said included one for Sen. John McCain, chasing them from the Navajo Nation Museum.

Let me know if they need help.

I’ll look the other way if they catch -and do whatever they want- to that bottom dwelling low IQ smegma eating POS.

Hopefully the rest of Arizona does this during his primary. McLame must go! & his buddy Flake too.

Wow: when Americans demand foreign invaders leave, they’re shouted down as racist.

“Russell Begaye”?
That’s almost as silly as Gaylord Fokker or John McCain.

Two things:
1. Don’t name your kid “begaye.”
2. It’s their country, right?

Given all the pollution EPA released into the Animus River without remorse nor guidance, who can trust this US Government? No wonder the Navajo Nation is pissed! The American people at large remain clueless. Just wait till Lake Meade turns yellow and Las Vegans get SICK! McCain needs retire.

I just wish the people of AZ would do the same.

What a despicable human being he is.

He’s not even a native of AZ. He dumped his wife who had been ill and was not looking so pretty and went and got him a new younger, prettier, richer model. He moved to AZ where he ran for office as a ‘War Hero’ to replace the vacant seat left by Senator Barry Goldwater because he was told it was easy pickins. What a low-life.

Hope the Navajos catch him and throw him in the EPA’s toxic stream.
