McCain steps into diplomatic vacuum to soothe allies Mr. Trump’s blustery phone call with Australia’s prime minister, Malcolm Turnbull, was enough to pull the chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee into the diplomatic breach.

In a remarkable statement, Mr. McCain, Republican of Arizona, announced that he had called Australia’s ambassador to the United States, Joe Hockey, to assure him of an “unwavering support for the U.S.-Australia alliance.”

“I asked Ambassador Hockey to convey to the people of Australia that their American brothers and sisters value our historic alliance, honor the sacrifice of the Australians who have served and are serving by our side, and remain committed to the safer, freer and better world that Australia does far more than its fair share to protect and promote.”

Our President doesn’t need a stand-in. . . .and certainly not McCain.

Unless it's to take his seat at the Ford Theatre for a showing of "Our American Cousin".

It’s not borderline. It IS sedition, which is a crime.

The violent rioters, the MSM, the politicians, the Hell-yweirdoes, professors, etc., ALL of them are committing sedition.

I am hopeful that as soon as Jeff Sessions is sworn in, he will go after these people like the pitbull patriot our country needs him to be.

It was reported on tonight’s TruNews show that right now, they are working on hacking into Republican politicians computers and doing a Wikileaks-type of release when they come up for re-election. The sooner we realize Commies will NEVER EVER give up, the sooner we will be on the road back.

It is very clear this must be done if we are to truly save our nation and restore our Republic.
