The long-simmering war between Sens. John McCain and Rand Paul boiled over on Wednesday when the Arizona lawmaker directly accused his colleague of working for Russian President Vladimir Putin.
While speaking from the Senate floor in support of a bill advancing Montenegro’s bid to join the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), McCain noted objection from his Kentucky colleague, saying that if you oppose the measure, “You are achieving the objectives of Vladimir Putin... trying to dismember this small country which has already been the subject an attempted coup.”
Several moments later, after the 80-year-old senator asked for unanimous consent to move the bill forward, Paul took the mic to raise his objection before dramatically exiting the room.
In response, McCain began railing against Paul, his voice trembling with anger: “I note the senator from Kentucky leaving the floor without justification or any rationale for the action he has just taken. That is really remarkable, that a senator blocking a treaty that is supported by the overwhelming number—perhaps 98, at least, of his colleagues—would come to the floor and object and walk away.”
He then directly connected Paul to the Russian government: “The only conclusion you can draw when he walks away is he has no justification for his objection to having a small nation be part of NATO that is under assault from the Russians.
“So I repeat again, the senator from Kentucky is now working for Vladimir Putin.”

Good. Just a little pin prick McCain.
Yep.
I thought there was a Senate rule about saying nasty things about another Senator from the well of the Senate. Why was Elizabeth Warren told to shut up and sit down but not McCain??
Please don’t disparage grandfathers by crooks ‘grandpa’ or even including them in a sentence with McKeating.
McCaca is a fraud. Call him what he is, a fraud.
Senile old bastard HSA to have Keating five stuffed up his ass.
Just STFU, Juan!

Yeah.
This is what I mean when I say he’s going over a line.
It’s becoming too obvious to anyone.
Mccain is the perennial tapeworm in the anus of life.
“It was the strawberries...thats when I knew I had ‘em...”
Comrade Juan McNuts needs involuntary commitment for his own good.
Someone needs to “accident” the sob.
McCain is Insane in the Membrane
John McCain, in his senility, wants WWIII with Russia.
Drooling old fool...
This is the best response about this I have heard all day:
