Report: McCain Wants Congress to Pass ‘Gang of Eight’ Amnesty Bill When He Returns
Breitbart ^ | 08/03/2017 | by Tony Lee

According to The Arizona Republic, McCain, before leaving Washington to get cancer treatments in Arizona, reportedly spoke to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) about joining forces again to pass the “Gang of Eight” bill. After joining Sens. Susan Collins (R-ME) and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) to defeat the GOP’s “skinny repeal” of Obamacare, McCain, who has always wanted to be known as a straight-talking independent, was lionized by Democrats and the legacy media, with CNN paying homage to his “maverick moment.”

Referring to the “Gang of Eight” bill, McCain told the Republic on Thursday that he wanted “to reintroduce the same package that was passed through the United States Senate and never taken up in the House.”

“Immigration reform is one of the issues I’d like to see resolved,” McCain reportedly added. “I’ve got to talk to him (Schumer) about when would be the best time. I think there are all kinds of deals to be made out there. I really do.”

According to the Republic, McCain, “who turns 81 on Aug. 29,” is “in a more reflective place in his long Senate career as he faces” his “serious health challenge and undergoes chemotherapy.”

> McCain, who has always wanted to be known as a straight-talking independent,

Yet he always sides with the left when it really matters.

McCain’s tumor must be confusing him. He thinks he’s the President and gets to set the agenda.

Go away and spend your final crazy months with your family.

I’m ready for McCain to go to hell, rather than come back to the Senate

Yes, definitely an oversight!

In fact, yesterday I was getting my updated drivers license. Guy ahead of me, since we now register to vote at the drivers license office, was asked if he wished to designate a party. He said, well, I just want to register as anti Trump. As he was leaving I said, why not do us a favor and move back to South Carolina so you can vote for Lindasy. Trump carried this county by 74 to 26 or so just in case you think you are among like minded. He did not have a comment.
