Andrea Mitchell: McCain Was So Consistently Tough on Putin in a Way His GOP Colleagues in the Senate Have Not Been

EXCERPT:

MITCHELL: “And the fact that John McCain has been so consistently tough on Putin, in a way frankly that a lot of his colleagues, the Republican colleagues in the Senate have not been. There has been so little action to ward off the ongoing, according to Dan Coats, Russian interference in our election in the cyberspace. The McCain statements after Helsinki also, probably his last statements criticizing Trump’s foreign policy were after Helsinki, calling it the most disgraceful performance of an American president. That was so pointed, so descriptive and it was really a touchstone of John McCain to be consistently critical of Donald Trump on foreign policy in a way that Republicans had always been, going back to the Cold War and Ronald Reagan. And it really is quite striking that there is so much waffling on the Russian threat right now.”
