GOP Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul blasted Arizona Sen. John McCain for his comments criticizing President Donald Trump\u2019s approach with the press during an appearance on ABC\u2019s \u201cThis Week\u201d Sunday.
McCain voiced opposition to Trump\u2019s alleged ongoing attacks on the fourth estate while appearing on NBC\u2019s \u201cMeet the Press\u201d earlier in the day, saying, that\u2019s how \u201chow dictators get started.\u201d
Paul said McCain\u2019s comments may be fueled more by personal issues with the president than valid concern.
\u201cThis is colored by John McCain\u2019s disagreement with President Trump,\u201d Paul said. \u201cEverything that he says about the president is colored by his own personal dispute he has got running with President Trump \u2014 and it should be taken with a grain of salt because John McCain is the guy that has advocated for war everywhere.\u201d
Paul went as far as calling McCain \u2014 the chairman of the Senate Committee on Armed Services \u2014 a warmonger.
\u201cActually we\u2019re very lucky John McCain is not in charge because I think we would be in perpetual war,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf you look at the map, there\u2019s probably at least six different countries where John McCain has advocated for us having boots on the ground.\u201d
