It’s just totally wrong for Juan to still be in the Senate and to get his views rebroadcast by the LSM as Fake News.

Mac is likely exposing classified data just to get even with Trump on his “Military Failure” remarks.

Our society is full of these classes of people who "must not be criticized."

They get into positions of power, do irresponsible or unethical things, and there's nothing anyone can do about it.

It doesn’t matter if McCain is a hero or not. He willingly ran for political office.

You buy the ticket, you take the ride. The *whole* ride.

Every politician is a legitimate object of criticism. Hold the “hero” crap.

790th out of 795–of USNA class of 1958.

795th gets a dollar from every student so $794.

So the 795th is arguably smarter than the 790th.

It’s now 50-50. And three comments that sound like something Freepers might say.

There is no question that McCain was a POW for five years, and thus an American hero. Acknowledging his past service to this country is warranted.

Criticizing his political performance as a Senator is fair game. If he does not accept criticism he should get out of politics.

In addition I believe that he is a broken man well beyond the ability to make rational and just decisions as a Senator. He should retire.

McCain showed disrespect and lack of compassion for families of those lost in the raid.

What, is McCain the Pope or something? No one in this country is above criticism. NO ONE.

No politician is immune to criticism. Especially those who wave their medals in their critics’ faces.

How about is it wrong for Senator McCain to criticize the president on a difficult military mission?
