Klobuchar: McCain Recited Names of Dictators During Trump Inauguration
American Greatness ^ | 5/27/2019 | Liz Snead

This seems particularly unhinged. The media is constantly buzzing about how President Trump is unstable, but McCain’s behavior seems a bit…unusual.

Presidential hopeful Senator Amy Klobuchar told a crowd on the campaign trail that the late John McCain muttered the names of dictators as he watched Donald Trump’s inauguration.

“John McCain kept reciting to me names of dictators during that speech,” the Minnesota senator said, “because he knew more than any of what we were facing as a nation, he understood it.”

She continued: “He knew because he knew this man more than any of us did.”

Or it was because he was angry he would never be president like Trump and that despite his best efforts, Trump won the election? That could be a reason too.

One of McCain’s final public statements about Trump was made in reference to Trump’s meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin. “The damage inflicted by President Trump’s naiveté, egotism, false equivalence, and sympathy for autocrats is difficult to calculate,” he said.

McCain’s role in disseminating the salacious and unverified dossier, used to interfere with Trump’s election, should not be forgotten.

“… I think he (Steele) felt that … having Sen. McCain provide it to the FBI would give it a little more oomph than it had had up until that point,” said David Kramer, former McCain associate said in a deposition.

It helped that McCain, a six-term senator and chairman of the influential Senate Armed Services Committee, “was better to be the recipient of this rather than a Democrat because if it were a Democrat, I think that the view was that it would have been dismissed as a political attack.”

It was Kramer who gave the dossier to BuzzFeed and the website subsequently published the entire thing.

Kramer acknowledged during the deposition that he gave a copy of the memos to reporters at BuzzFeed News, McClatchy news service, the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal and National Public Radio. Kramer said Steele and Simpson were aware of some of his contacts with media outlets; he said Steele specifically asked him to meet with a BuzzFeed reporter and veteran journalist Carl Bernstein, which he did.

“I, you know, became aware that other journalists either had seen it or had it,” Kramer said in the deposition. “I stressed to every person I met the sensitivity of the document, the need to verify or refute it, and not to publish it. Unless or until that would be done. And if it was refuted, it was obviously no reason to publish it.”

Kramer met with a BuzzFeed reporter on Dec. 29, 2016, at the McCain Institute in Washington, D.C. The office was closed for the holidays, he said. They met for no more than an hour.

“I was never a fan of John McCain and I will never be,” Trump said earlier this year.

Since Mccain is dead, Amy Klobuchar can attribute anything to him, now, and he cannot correct her, and since he was such a jackass, people will believe it, true or not.

Klobuchar: McCain Recited Names of Dictators During Trump Inauguration.

Whack jobs past and present. McStain was a national disgrace, notwithstanding his father’s and grandfather’s “pull” as former big shot admirals. Without their “influence”, Johnboy would have been cleaning spittoons.

Liar. So here we have a Democrat smearing Trump by way of a deceased person who - obviously - cannot refute anything she says.

So what’s next? Maybe Klobuchar will say that back in 1975 Elvis told her that Trump was secretly a Russian colonel.

Everybody here knows I’m no fan of mcqueeg, but it’s just as likely that klobuchar is lying.

And she and others--the totality of Democrats--want us to accept the actions, words, and thoughts of an old, sick man suffering brain cancer as some things that are reliable and trustworthy?

I understand that Democrats have difficulty understanding the untrue from the true, but I remember and take McCain's last days for what they were.

Here's what he actually was saying.

"I suppose you're wondering why I called this meeting. As you all know we had an excellent dessert for dinner tonight: ice cream and frozen strawberries. About an hour ago, I sent Whittaker to the pantry to bring me another portion. He came back with the ice cream, all right, but he said: "Sir, there ain't no more strawberries." Now, Gentlemen, I do not believe that the officers of this ship consumed a full gallon of strawberries. I intend to prove it."

McLame simply worked for the Left. He was turned to communism long ago. Once I accepted that years ago, he no longer bothered me. Just another commie Demonrat.
His job running against Obama was simply to make it appear that we had a fair election and that the better person won. It was rigged from the beginning.

McLame was a professional GOP backstabber.

And a professional democRAT ass-kisser.

He didn't have a bone of integrity in his body.

“”He knew because he knew this man more than any of us did.””

And just why/how does she think McCain knew Trump better than anyone else did? When and where did they become acquainted with one another? Probably news to the president!

McCain could say any crazy sh!t possible and people would say, sure I believe he could say something like that. Klobuchar could lie about anything possible and people say, sure I believe she could make crazy sh!t like that up.

I believe McCain suffered from mental illness mixed with hatred for this country. His hostile reaction to the families of POW/MIAs (available on YouTube) makes me wonder if he had something to hide. No wonder he was referred to while running for president as “the Manchurian Candidate.”

Maybe McCain is getting to know some of those dictators personally in hell.
