WASHINGTON — Republican Sens. John McCain and Lindsey Graham pushed Sunday for greater sanctions against Russia for trying to influence the U.S. election and said President-elect Donald Trump is in danger of being in conflict with congressional Republicans if he doesn't get tougher on Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The two senators, in a joint interview on Meet the Press, also said the U.S. intelligence community's evidence of Russian interference during the American presidential campaign is overwhelming, and that Trump should accept those findings.

"You can't go on with your life as a democracy when a foreign entity is trying to compromise the election process," said Graham of South Carolina. "So Mr. President-elect, it is very important that you show leadership here. Let me say this: if after having been briefed by intelligence leaders, Donald Trump is still unsure as to what the Russians did, that would be incredibly unnerving to me because the evidence is overwhelming. All I'm asking him is to acknowledge that Russia interfered, and push back."

The media's favorite useful idiot Republicans in the U.S. Senate are at it again.

[marron]

The dynamic duo who served Obama faithfully for 8 years want to pick a fight with Putin and Trump.

[stars & stripes forever]

Is there a way for TRUMP to put a muzzle on these rabid SENATORS? They have no business discussing foreign policy on television.

DRAIN THE SWAMP.

[stillfree?]

Does on of these idiots ever do anything without the other?

[tennmountainman]

What these two want is WW3.

[LouAvul]

I am ashamed, and apologize for, for being so ig’nant as to vote for that buffoon.

[A_Former_Democrat]

Putin, whatever it is you have on these guys, please release it

[madprof98]

Unless and until this guy retires (or dies from AIDS), we will hear over and over again about his phenomenal bipartisan policy proposals, which will be contrasted with the bizarre partisan rantings of the intruder in Obama's house.

Faggot 1 and Faggot 2

[chris37]

I call for sanctions against Traitor McCain and Faggot Graham.

Useless trash.

[bigbob]

Those two should be told to sit down and shut up.

[Red Steel]

Like every Sunday from now on from Songbird and his sidekick Twit bird.

Here’s a hint for these two Morons, it’s not going to happen anytime soon under Trump’s presidency.

[Liberty Valance]

McCain never met a war he didn’t like.

[kingu]

So, umm, tweedle dee and tweedle dum, they think that Mr. Trump should focus on more punishments for Russia rather than, oh, I don't know, getting sworn in, submitting a nominee for the vacant SOCTUS position, getting his cabinet approved by the senate, overturning executive orders, etc, etc, etc.

Making more sanctions against Russia is, oh, I don't know, probably priority -2,000 at the moment.

[chuckee]

The two Republican senatorial drama queens have just discovered there is cyberhacking and spying in River City.
They are just mad that Putin backed Assad and defeated al Qaeda.Sore losers!!

[Farmer Dean]

I have two questions;
1.What’s in it for these two characters,how do they benefit.
2.What’s it going to take to shut these two bums up?

[Clean_Sweep]

Paid for by Democrats.

[Trump20162020]

We’re definitely going to be seeing “McCain and Graham say X about President Trump” dozens of times a year, every year, for four years.

[zaxtres]

Shhh now everyone if McLame and Pansy Grahm didn’t have this coverage they would have no coverage at all! Let McLame and his butt-buddy talk all they want, for they will receive it in the end. /s

[SaxxonWoods]

Talk is meaningless, pass the sanctions, tough guys.

Let’s see how Trump responds.
