McCain says Trump adding Bannon to Security Council is concerning

President Trump’s decision to shake up his National Security Council by removing a prominent military leader in favor of political adviser Steve Bannon is worrisome and a “radical departure,” Sen. John McCain said Sunday.

Trump signed executive action Saturday adding Bannon, who headed the alt-right Breitbart web site before joining the campaign, to his core security council while removing the Director of National Intelligence and chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staffs.

“The appointment of Mr. Bannon is something which is a radical departure from any National Security Council in history,” McCain (R-Ariz.) told CBS’s “Face the Nation.”

“The role of the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff has been diminished, I understand, with this reorganization. One person who is indispensable would be the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, in my view. So it’s of concern.”

McCain also took issue with Trump’s travel ban on travelers from seven Muslim countries as a “confusing” process. Listing Iraq on the travel ban could stoke anti-American sentiment when Iraqis have been working with the US to root out ISIS....

We would probably be in the midst of WWIII right now if McCain had his way. How did he ever get to be the ‘08 nominee? I watched the whole thing, and still can’t figure out how that old bas**rd got in.

What's troubling is that the folks of Arizona keep electing this schmuck.

God Bless him for his service but I think he actually became deranged - there have been times when the madness showed in his eyes.

The traitor McCain needs to be in prison, at the very least, for his providing aid and comfort to the enemy, ISIS and al quaeda.

Why is Trump pussyfooting around with this SOC?
