Sen. John McCain tweeted out a column by the New York Times’ Bret Stephens which decried President Donald Trump for his comments that immigrants from Africa are “people from shithole countries.”

The Arizona republican tweeted out Stephens’ Saturday column along with the caption “Must-read @nytimes column by @BretStephensNYT today”:

The column McCain is calling a must-read? It’s a vigorous rebuke of the president’s reported comments, titled “Proud to Live in a Nation of Holers.”

Stephens starts out by describing his grandfather’s humble beginnings in Moldova, which the columnist says would surely qualify as one of Trump’s “shitholes.”

1. Unfortunately, this seems to be the extent of McCain's resistance to tRump

I used to admire the man, even when I disagreed with him. Now? Not so much. Yes, he gets cut slack for facing his final foe, but....

2. I'd have had a lot more respect if he'd voted against the tax giveaway to wealthy and corporations

3. Agreed.

4. Yes, indeed!

Words supported by actions are what count.

6. Mayabe his wife would have made him sleep on the couch

if had had not voted for the bill. Afterall, she is the one with all the money.

10. He probably isn't able to do much because of his health

5. I can't imagine what John McCain went through as a prisoner of war

but I do know what he's going through in his fight against brain cancer. It's horrible and will require every ounce of courage he has. I thank him for his service and wish him well.

7. I Called McCain's Office

Begging for him to say something. Maybe he got the message.

8. Wasn't it the NYT who helped place this fucker into office in the first place, ie. No Russian help?

9. I will never forgive the hypocrites who voted for the

Tax Scam after going on and on about how terrible the Moron was. Corker, Flake, Collins, Murkowski, and McCain garnish little respect from me....I do not forgive and forget.
