John McCain (R-AZ) offered up the lamest
Republican excuse possible for the GOP’s treasonous letter to Iran.
McCain admitted that he didn’t read the letter carefully because he was
in a hurry to leave Washington before a snowstorm arrived.
John McCain (R-Ariz.) said Republicans — many of whom blessed the missive during a brisk signing session at a Senate lunch a week ago, as senators prepared to flee a Washington snowstorm — should have given it closer consideration.“It was kind of a very rapid process. Everybody was looking forward to getting out of town because of the snowstorm,” McCain said. “I think we probably should have had more discussion about it, given the blowback that there is.”
John McCain wants the American people to believe
that the 47 senators who signed this letter were more worried about
getting out of D.C. ahead of a snowstorm than doing their jobs.
The Arizona Republic was blunt in condemning McCain,
“A letter to Iran, signed in part by Arizona's John McCain,
irresponsibly undermines our commander in chief.”
If McCain is more worried about the weather than
doing his job, he shouldn’t be a United States Senator. If what McCain
said is true, the Republicans who signed the letter didn’t read it
carefully, those 47 Republicans don’t deserve to be United States
Senators.
There
is no excuse that McCain could offer that would excuse an act of
sabotage. Instead of blaming the weather, it would have been refreshing
to hear Sen. “Straight Talk” admit that he screwed up and apologize. If
there is one thing that the American people know about Republicans, it
is that they never apologize. Since Republicans have decided to stand
behind their act of sabotage, voters should put their “Country First”
when they cast their ballots in 2016.
