Republican senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham blasted President Trump on Sunday — issuing the first GOP statement condemning his Muslim ban on travel to the United States in a tag-team assault that later sparked tweets of “World War III” from the president.

“Our government has a responsibility to defend our borders, but we must do so in a way that makes us safer and upholds all that is decent and exceptional about our nation,” the senators said in a statement.
McCain (R-Ariz.) and Graham (R-SC) added that Trump’s executive order ultimately “may do more to help terrorist recruitment than improve our security.”

“The joint statement of former presidential candidates John McCain & Lindsey Graham is wrong,” the president tweeted. “The two . . . Senators should focus their energies on ISIS, illegal immigration and border security instead of always looking to start World War III.”
Amen. these two are going down.
I agree with President Trump, (Dear Lord that feels good to say), These two GOPe Senators have been trying to get the United States into another war that can be pushed into WW III status.
Why that is, I’m not sure. But it certainly has become more obvious over the last two years.
McCain and Graham are using the Obama Approach of “if you protect yourself from them, they’ll just get worse.” I suspect there’s a LOT of muslim money in McCain and Lindsey’s pockets.
McCain just said that the ban would give ISIS more propaganda. What about the Western world saying they will destroy ISIS? What about the United States and other countries actually fighting back. Will that give ISIS propaganda? Would surrender to ISIS give ISIS propaganda? These people are a few degrees beyond being fools.
Yes!!!!
President Trump is CORRECT!
Thank you Sir for saying this!
McCain and Graham are nothing but slime bag politicians working hard to undermine Trump, because he so vividly has exposed their malfeasance and self-serving behavior. They are also USELESS and corrupt in the role of protecting America from both INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL enemies as seen over the past 8-10 years for sure.
They need to be replaced along with all the other political parasites in the Congress.
ISIS is the new Nazis and new fascists. McCain and Graham are fools who would sell out there own country to save their lives. When you are freaking at war with someone you decimate them, and make them beg. You don’t worry about offending the enemy, you get the poor !/$^#/ to die for their cause.
The 2 clowns are bought by foreign oil money. They are totally disgusting.
Someone posted this on the Daily News Facebook page. Is this factual??
Fun Facts Journalists Know, But Won’t Report...
1. Trump did not create a law. His executive order carried out an existing law.
2. The text of Trump’s executive order on immigration does not list any particular countries. That formula was in the existing law that his order is carrying out.
3. The law Trump is carrying out is the Visa Waiver Program Improvement and Terrorist Travel Prevention Act of 2015, which was signed into effect by Barack Obama.
Obama banned Iraq migration for 6 months in 2011. Clinton and both Bushes banned immigrants by class. Carter banned Iranians during the hostage crisis, FDR interned Japanese, Italians and Germans during WWII. What were those bans? Forgotten?
Section 212(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 states: Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate.
McCain and Graham want your son or daughter to die defending Europe.
McCain and Graham want your son or daughter to die defending Libya, Iraq, Iran, Somalia, Saudi Arabia, and Syria.
McCain and Graham don’t give a ******* if working class Americans die here or over there.
McCain and Graham are elitist scum.
I am so glad to see Trump swat these two corrupt people. I think he needs to investigate those two and follow the corrupt money trail to find out why they are working against the will of the American electorate.
It’s funny how those two are the darlings of NPR. The hve become a comedy team. Does ANYONE take them seriously?
McCain just said that the ban would give ISIS more propaganda.
Two of the biggest dingle-berries in the Republican Party. Disgraces, the both of them.
If these two had a brain, this spotlight on their never ending attempts to fight the Saudi’s battles, would dull their efforts for a spell. However, see the part about having a brain. I fully expect these two idiots to start braying for war with some other enemy of their King inside of a week.
These two clowns, McCain and Grahamnesty, should flip to the Democrat Party where they both belong. When will a couple of true Conservatives from Arizona and South Carolina get a pair and run against these sorry Rinos?
Straight to the point.
This is going to be a great administration!
Propaganda doesn’t matter if they are dead.
In Trump’s place I would give them plenty of plenty of propaganda when I ordered the US Armed forces to help the Russians and the Syrian government wipe them out man, woman, and child.
Identical talking points to Schmuckie. What ‘Rats these two schmucks are.
