Senator John McCain, who famously defended his then presidential opponent Barack Obama against an islamaphobic supporter during a 2008 campaign rally, defended President Obama once again on ABC’s This Week Sunday, cautioning his Republicans colleagues to cool it with talk of impeaching the President over the Benghazi attacks and its aftermath.
In response to Senator James Inhofe (R-OK) invoking the “I word,” McCain called for caution:
“With all due respect, I think this is a serious issue,” McCain told guest host Martha Raddatz. “I will even give the president the benefit of the doubt on some of these things. We need a select committee.”
On how much blame former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton deserves, McCain was much less generous:
“I think the Secretary of State has played a role in this…she had to have been in the loop in some way, but we don’t know for sure.”
McCain next turned his ire on the now official 2016 Republican attack-ad on Clinton’s “what difference does it make?” outburst during her Benghazi hearing....

McCain destroyed 4 aircraft during his career in the Navy.It would have been better for the country if he had ridden one of them into the ground.
The Dims have given McLame a lifetime senate appointment!
Why would they run a serious campaign against him? He votes with them at every turn anyway. As long as he goes with the flow, the Pubbies will call him a champion, and so will the Dims!
Time for TEA!
Once a clueless loser, always a ...
McCain is senile.
Only a fool or a criminal would give a serial liar the benefit of the doubt.
Which are you, senator, or are you in fact both?
He and Graham went around the country before the election. His whole stance was Benghazi, the enormity of the coverup, getting justice, blah, blah, blah.
Can the people in Arizona NOW see what a phony he is????
Somebody tell McStain to resign and let a real Democrat have that senate seat.
Ah, yes. That good ole’ RINO master stroke of political warfare: The pre-emptive surrender. Whenever the situation screams out for an unequivocal declaration of war, throw in the towel, just to remove all doubt that you were going to put up a fight. I passionately hate these people: Profiles in Feckless Groveling.
Yup, McCain vomiting over this issue as expected. Await for Graham’s spew to follow up.
Shills for the Left. Absolutely no doubt in my mind. Their role is to diffuse by manipulating expectations.
Benefit of the doubt until what point and how far?
It also means the RINO's and DINO's are circling the wagons. The natives are coming and they are angry.
Gratitude yes, loyalty no. McDemocrat is a loser. No good comes by associating with that angry nasty RINO.
He’s worse. BO at least follows his party’s platform.
McShame - shame on him! Shame on him! What a despicable traitor in “R” clothing!
Give the illegal traitor the benefit of the doubt? McShame joins him in equal infamy. He threw the election, and now he’s protecting him, just as you said he would.
Not one damn bit.Manchurian candidate all along.
What do Watergate and Benghazi/Benghazigate have in common?
Hillary Clinton.
