John McCain calls on Senate to reject CIA nominee Gina Haspel
CNN ^ | May 9, 2018 | Sophie Tatum

Sen. John McCain called on the Senate to reject Gina Haspel's nomination to be the director of the CIA, citing her refusal in testimony on Wednesday to acknowledge "torture's immorality."

"I believe Gina Haspel is a patriot who loves our country and has devoted her professional life to its service and defense," the Arizona Republican said in a statement Wednesday evening.

"However, Ms. Haspel's role in overseeing the use of torture by Americans is disturbing. Her refusal to acknowledge torture's immorality is disqualifying. I believe the Senate should exercise its duty of advice and consent and reject this nomination," his statement continued.

I wonder how long McCain has had his brain tumor.

I do not know but it has to be bigger than his brain. Even in the early stages.

DIE you traitor but before you do admit they turned you while you were getting fed well in the Hanoi Hilton and your brothers in arms were starving.

John more than likely has a drool cup attached to the side of his face and is incapable of making these statements himself. His never-Trump sycophants are issuing these diatribes on his behalf, I’m sure. The dude can’t make it back to DC to work for his constituents but can write a book, slam Trump nonstop and cause all sorts of trouble? While battling cancer?

Nope. I don’t but it. John is more like weekend at Bernie’s.

I was stung by a scorpion last summer and it was one of the least pleasant experiences of my life.

McCain is the undead. He is dead but just undead enough to stick it to Trump any chance he gets.

McCain is a disgrace.

“It’s hard to say how much of these comments are him right now and how much of it is the disease.”

It is also difficult to speculate as to how many of these comments are issued by his progressive staff advisors and not McCain. He could be in a weeks long coma and they continue to use McCain’s “voice” to further the anti-Trump left wing agenda to the end.

People in AZ never seem to tire of him or tyranny either.

This is so true; BMG was no AZ saint either, and he resented Reagan the way McPain loathes Trump.

June first can’t come soon enough. Maybe McCain will resign then.

I had a dear friend die from a GBM. So I can’t believe I’m saying this, but the cancer should just take him now. He had a very long run, but it’s clearly affecting his squash, and since he can’t be removed for this, it needs to just finish its mission as a disease. Lights out.

But only after June 1st, so the AZ governor can appoint an actual conservative. His giving the governor a list of folks he wants to see as his replacement is what did it for me.

On his way out he’s trying to rack up as many points with satanic forces as possible. Maybe he thinks this will get him an appointment to Satan’s Military Academy.

I wonder if John McCain is actually saying any of this or if it’s just the Deep State putting out statements

You have got to have a brain first and that is something that McScream has NEVER had. Stand him next to Obammy, the Klinton’s, John McKerry, and Mickey Mouse and they all look the same.

Johnnie, you will die, be buried and promptly forgotten.

What a mess you made with all the opportunities God gave you.

A perfect swing and a miss of a life.

Sadly, McCain was an instrumental part of the ongoing coup to overthrow the lawfully elected government of the United States.
