McCain Invokes Charlottesville Attack In Defense Of McMaster Against Alt-Right
talkingpointsmemo.com ^ | 8/14/17 | Matt Shuham

McMaster’s character has come under attack recently from various online personalities and outlets aligned with the so-called “alt-right,” a movement of misogynists and white supremacists birthed in online message boards like 4chan.

“I have had the pleasure of knowing General H.R. McMaster for many years, and greatly respect and admire his outstanding service to the nation,” McCain said in a statement. “The recent attacks upon him from the so-called ‘alt-right’ are disgraceful."

“I hope the President will once again stand up for his national security adviser and denounce these repugnant attacks, which arise from the same purveyors of hatred and ignorance who precipitated the recent violence in Charlottesville,” he added.

McMasters is where he is because he has a particular talent and purpose Trump deems to be necessary in regards to security. All the PC crap that comes from him is an unavoidable side effect. When he has served his purpose or when the PCitude begins to weigh more heavily than his purpose he will be dispensed with.

those assholes need to be expunged from the RNG as THEY are the ones aiding and abetting dividing the country.

They perfectly support racism in the guise of BLM
They perfectly support bigotry and hate in the guise of AntiFa
They perfectly support the violence and destruction of both by not calling them out for their hate, violence, racism and bigotry.

For the good of the nation I call for John McCain to step down as he obviously is not of sound mind.

McCain is a functional leftist radical. He sees evil only in the conservative side of the spectrum even as he claims to be conservative.

McCain is still angry he lost the Presidency to a communist Muslim from Kenya.

"McMaster nonsense?"

McCain says that all who politically oppose McMaster are the same "alt-right" who Antifa & BLM had a right to violently attack in Charlottesville or anywhere else. And you say time to back down and give that evil man McCain his way?

“So now we know McMaster is no good....mccain backs him is a tell take sign.”

McAinal, the lover of war and hater of Americans, is not a good character reference.

Dear Mitt and Traitor McCain: using your logic, you endorse violence against free speech and a group that had a permit to protest peacefully but we’re attacked by a group that had no permit.

POTUS supports McMaster. If you want to support him you need to aim your fire elsewhere right now, FRiend. The points about McMaster have been made about 1,000,000 times the past couple weeks. Time to move on. Bigger battles to fight.

McCain’s statement is word-salad. He should retire in his declining days, I would say in dignity, but those days are long past him.

People the murderer was with in C'ville were chanting, "blood & soil", the same thing Nazis in Ukraine chant at their torchlight rallies. Why does McCain love the Nazis in Ukraine but not in the US?

Well, that's actually simple. Soros uses the Nazis to cause the violence he can use to further his political agenda which nearly always leads to a coup. While the coup is brewing and violence growing, McCain is either ignores them or condemns them.

McCain only loves his Nazi pals after the coup when they're empowered and able to help Soros keep the coup government weak so the extortion and bribes that are Soros's stock and trade are most effective.

Is the Independent Party going to grow? Where do self-respecting former Republicans go after leaving the Republican party? Libertarian Party?

The main point of the thread is McCain and McMaster only enters into it because of the tyrannical proclamation McCain used to defend him.

But that McCain tactic illustrates another point: Anything or anybody McCain supports is (or will be) damaging to Trump or Trump's base of support - because that is his only purpose in life. I hope Trump realizes this and will deal with McMaster at another time

The people attacking McMaster on social media (Cernovich, Probosiac, etc.) are not the same people who organized the Charlottesville protests...in fact they smartly disavowed Richard Spencer and his crew a long time ago.
