John Mccain Issue News Today

Violence and bigotry. he spent a lot of time doing that. famously with president obama in 2008 in the campaign. but all together for the last 20 years or so, of his political career. and to see lindsey graham, whatever the merits, and i dont think theyre very great, of the legislation, just playing into it. what is he really doing? theres not going to be legislation, executive order. its all nonsense. what hes doing is fanning the flames. hes legitimizing it. its reasonable to be so concerned ab...
