Republican Sens. John McCain and Lindsey Graham, two hawks on U.S. policy toward Russia, said they will lead the push in the upcoming Congress for sanctions on Moscow that are stronger than those the Obama administration announced Thursday.
"The retaliatory measures announced by the Obama administration today are long overdue. But ultimately, they are a small price for Russia to pay for its brazen attack on American democracy. We intend to lead the effort in the new Congress to impose stronger sanctions on Russia," the senators said in a joint statement Thursday.
The Obama administration issued an executive order Thursday authorizing sanctions on individuals and organizations it believes were involved in alleged Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. election.

I would call them Rocky and Bullwinkle, but that would be an insult to squirrels and moose.
Two more loathsome SOBs cannot be found.
Unless one looks in the current White House.
Why don’t you two lovers go f yourselves. RINO whores.

What is this really about? To discredit Trump? Pissed about Syria?
These two cowards have filled their bellies with the spoils of their serfs, for they see the people of liberty as a mob to be controlled by their own superiority in all things.
We are plagued by tyrants like these two vagabonds. They seek only opportunity to further their wicked ambition. They should be cast into the same stye infested by their like-minded charlatans.
Any list of enemies of the people of liberty should begin with these duplicitous fools. It is a long list but one that justice must detail.
How much is the Muslim Brotherhood paying these two, anyway? They're both hellbent on making sure the MB knows they're doing their best to show their anger about Hillary not winning.
They are Senators, not executives...They can do nothing more than introduce a bill that will go nowhere...
But it could turn into the “Day After”, if Obama and the likes of Graham and McCain keep up their threats and intimidation of Russia.
They just love to hear themselves talk...That’s about it...
The senile, old fool and the pink panties putz...what a pair. If they weren’t irrelevant, they both would be pitiful.
Mexico meddles in our elections far more than Russia.
Voter fraud is rampant and a significant number of illegal aliens live in some of the Congressional districts. It has to have an impact, especially in places like California and New York.
John McCain and Lindsey Graham would never hold Mexico accountable for tampering in U.S. elections.
McCain, Graham and Rubio were the ones who pushed for arming jihadis.
Lame senators, fake Americans.
Linseed, why don’t you have Johnny fly you over there, and you two “heroes” bomb them all to smithereens, mkay.
And Saudi Arabia giving millions to the Clinton fund?
My wife, who doesn’t pay close attention to most stuff but whose head is in the right place, asked me tonight out of nowhere, “Is Obama trying to start a war?”
