John McCain Unloads On Senate

The Senator from Arizona is miffed at members of his own party.

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) took to the Senate floor Thursday to castigate fellow Republicans for holding up aid to Ukraine over provisions boosting funding for the International Monetary Fund.

“What has happened? Where are our priorities? Is the IMF, no matter whether it’s fixed or not fixed with this legislation, more important than the lives of thousands of people? Is that what we’re talking about here?” he said.

He invoked Republicans’ secular saint — President Ronald Reagan. “I will say to my friends who were objecting to this — and there are a number of them on my side — you can call yourself Republicans. That’s fine, because that’s your voter registration. Don’t call yourself Reagan Republicans. Ronald Reagan would never, would never let this kind of aggression go unresponded to by the American people.”
