Arizona Sen. John McCain delivered a series of blows to President Donald Trump Friday during a speech in Germany, and at one point he compared today's political atmosphere to the Nazi years of the 1930s and 1940s.
"In the four decades I have attended this conference, I cannot recall a year where its purpose was more necessary or more important," said McCain, who never mentioned Trump by name during his speech at the Munich Security Conference but referenced his policies several times.
"This panel is going to ask us to consider whether the West will survive. In recent years, this question would invite accusations of hyperbole and alarmism. Not this year. If ever there was a time to treat this question with a deadly seriousness, it is now."
While making his case, McCain — who like Trump is a Republican — mentioned Ewald-Heinrich von Kleist. Von Kleist was part of the group that plotted to assassinate Adolf Hitler in 1944.
"What would von Kleist's generation say if they saw our world today?" McCain asked. "I fear that much about it would be all too familiar for them. And they would be alarmed by it."
McCain then tried to dismantle Trump's foreign policy (America First), his recent immigration order that critics called a Muslim ban, and some of the alleged untruths that have emerged from Trump's White House.
"They would be alarmed by an increasing turn away from universal values and toward old ties of blood, and race, and sectarianism. They would be alarmed by the hardening resentment we see toward immigrants, and refugees, and minority groups, especially Muslims," McCain said.
"They would be alarmed by the growing inability, and even unwillingness, to separate truth from lies.

When you have Obama Caucasian problems here at home and McCain causing problem overseas with foreign policy, Trump needs to send them a clear message in way pf the justice deptartment
This infuriates me! There has to be something we can do to stop this madman.
No, what a COWARD!
(He's hoping the voters don't hear about his behavior.)
McLAME went to Syria and made nice nice with Al Baghdadi..McCain is a traitor!!
McCain....Sad!.....
( FYI did you know the Trump famous “sad” statement is really an acronym for “Suck A Dick!”)
“He DARES to imply that Trump is equal to Hitler, and seems to suggest that Trump should be assassinated for the good of Our Republic?!?”
That is PRECISELY my take on that statement. He exalted the efforts of an attempted assassination to be the standard to which we are shamed by comparison.
And there is only one leader to whom it could apply. The Secret Service should look into this.
The son-of-a-bitch is no good.
He wants the media to like him..in 2008 the media went after him and he just stood there and said that we had nothing to fear from an Obama Presidency..NO ONE likes McCain so he wants to be invited to media cocktail parties
Even I’d a dem was elected in AZ could it be any worse? The media love him, they can say “a leading republican...”.
Why mention von Kleist unless one is thinking about assassination?
McCainiC has to go!
What is McCain’s goal with this tantrum?
I hope the RNC is studying up on the 2018 Senate races.
Perhaps it’s time that Mr. Sessions take a look at just who McCain has been helping during the Syrian civil war...and press charges.
If so, McCain needs to be smart enough to know how his comments will be used by the left and the MSM. He’s become an embarrassing dunce. Always willing to compromise when the GOP has power.
Can he be recalled in AZ? If so then some group should get it started. He needs to be gone, mentally ill.
“The global struggle writ large is between Western Civilization and the the rest. McCain falls squarely on the side of the former.”
What part of his speech actually upholds Western Civilization; he actually mentions, favorably, Islam, which is trying to destroy Western Civilization.
I am okay if he just goes ahead and croaks. I don’t like this pos.
He’s not a war hero. He’s a fraud. He’s a weird sob.
He never even did that with Obama. He was one of Obama’s good will ambassadors overseas. An a$$ kisser, and a traitor.
