Senator John McCain issued a blunt condemnation on Thursday regarding the attack on protesters in Washington, D.C. by Turkish security personnel.

“We should throw their ambassador the hell out of the United States of America,” McCain said on MSNBC’s Morning Joe. “This is the United States of America. This isn’t Turkey; this isn’t a third-world country; and this kind of thing cannot go unresponded to diplomatically.”

Host Joe Scarborough pointed out that “these are thugs linked directly to Erdogan,” and wondered, “What should the White House do at this point in condemning it, and what can you all do in the Senate?”

The Arizona Republican repeated his call to “throw the ambassador out,” and underlined that “it should have repercussions, including identifying these people and bringing charges against them. After all, they violated American laws.”

1. I agree.

[malaise]

2. For once he's right

how dare foreigners attack Americans in their own country

[cyclonefence]

3. Me too

McCain lost all credibility when he tapped Sara Palin and made that sharp turn to the right, but this is a redemptive statement on his part.

Now maybe he'll be able to sleep at night.

[Me.]

4. Totally Agree

The Dems should demand 45 respond

5. McCain is right

It's a travesty that an attack on Americans, in America, by the hired thugs of a dictator will result in no punishment.

6. I'm pretty sure the current administration wholeheartedly approves of the actions

taken by the Turkish "security detail." According to numerous statements during the campaign, this is how the criminal in chief would prefer for protesters to be treated. If anything, he's probably disappointed that protesters were carted away on gurneys rather than in body bags.

7. Turkey is a terrorist-sponsoring nation no different from Iran or Syria

They just don't (much) use the facade of Islam to justify their actions. Much the same as present-day Russia is just like the Soviet Union, minus the ideology.

8. I agree

Can't prosecute him for letting his goons beat up protesters but can kick his ass out.

9. Something Trump should probably do but won't because of conflicting interests.

He has the Trump Twin Towers in Istanbul.

That is his major concern with Turkey right now.
