Is McCain senile or drunk?

[SharonClark]

He is confusing the Clinton email investigation with the Russian-Trump investigation. He keeps saying Comey when he means to say Trump.

[wcmagumba]

1. Listening to him I'm just OMG...nt

[mopinko]

2. one or the other. he is making no fucking sense.

[Ninga]

3. Yes

[The Blue Flower]

4. He's past his pull date for occupying that seat

Not of sound mind.

[DURHAM D]

5. Shocking.

Clearly he has dementia.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

6. I think senile. He's completely confused about the difference

between the closed email investigation and the ongoing Russia hack investigation.

[elleng]

7. Something like that,

I agree, he appears to be confused, but could be deliberate to make political 'hay.'

[Lint Head]

8. McCain is implying Hillary colluded with the

Really? Really? McCain needs to buy a clue. Hillary did not consort with the Russians. Trump did.

[marylandblue]

9. He is trying tonimply that the Russians may have coordinated with Clinton!

And making himself sound senile.

[R B Garr]

10. Does he really think both investigations are exactly the same?

That's what he is implying. Wow, he's still going with it.

[mama]

11. Call 911, I think he's having a stroke.

[eissa]

31. No joke, I think that's what's happened

A friend was watching and she said one side of his face is drooping. If that's not it, then mental incompetence is the only other explanation, and either way it's a career-ender. What a spectacle.

[CottonBear]

49. He had extensive, invasive skin cancer surgery on his face

which resulted in a major scar on one entire side of his face.

[avebury]

12. He is not even on that committee so WTF is he

even allowed to sit at the table and ask questions. If McCain can be there, I want Al Franken at the table asking questions.

[jimsey]

50. McCain on committee

Just found this out yesterday, "...Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Sens. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Jack Reed (D-R.I.) ..... are “ex officio” members of the committee given their Senate leadership positions (McConnell, Schumer) or leadership of the Senate Armed Services Committee (McCain, Reed)."

[Flo Mingo]

13. WOW

McCain really sounds like he's lost it. Making no sense at all. Like he can't distinguish between a completed investigation of Clinton and an on-going investigation of Trump/Russia.

[AngryAmish]

14. ¿Porque no los dos?

[progressoid]

15. Sweet jesus. He's lost it.

[Renew Deal]

16. He's a hack

He's trying to make a connection that's not there

[Sneederbunk]

17. He moved into Strom Thurmond territory

[beachbum bob]

18. Looks like full scale Alzheimer's

Calling president comey and confusing investigation of Hillary email and Russian hacking....what embarrassment

[H2O Man]

19. Senile.

How sad. Yet, I can't stop laughing.

Recommended.

[Penn Voter]

20. Next

we are going to hear McSenile wondering why no one is talking about Bengazi.

[Ezior]

21. Wow. That was really crazy. Should see a doctor! (eom)

[nolabear]

22. That was a total mess. He needs to go home.

If he was my senator I'd be really horrified.

[StarryNite]

46. He is my senator...

and I AM really horrified!

[AnotherMother4Peace]

23. Forgot to take his meds? Kept confusing Comey w/Trump & Trump w/Comey - several times...

[LenaBaby61]

24. McCain ....

Needs HELP .....

He's confusing HILLARY with that FAT OOMPA LOOMPA

[democratisphere]

25. Damn! I can't believe what is coming out of John McCain's bumbling, stumbling mouth.

I think McCain has absolutely lost his f'ing mind. Somebody needs to give McCain the hook!

[stevenleser]

26. I thought so at first too but he is being dishonest

he's trying to create the impression that there is a double standard that Hillary and her campaign aren't being investigated regarding the Russian interference when there is zero evidence or attempts at contact between her campaign and the Russians.

All the evidence has to do with Trumps team having contact with the Russians.

[herding cats]

38. That was my impression as well.

Luckily his bumbling of names he ended up looking like an idiot and discredited his attempt.

[bettyellen]

51. I have to believe he was handed a script that others had convinced him made sense....

And it clearly did not. I thought Comey was quite kind about his confusion. If he honestly believed what he was saying, McCain needs a doctor.

[Egnever]

27. That was difficult to watch

He was trying desperately to make comey out to be a partisan but it was so incredibly stupid he only made himself look foolish.

[Old Terp]

28. He is in bad shape

Something struck him pretty hard. His mind is completely shot. He was babbling.

[TheBlackAdder]

29. Can't you be both senile and drunk?

[DesertRat]

30. "Senator McCain's time has expired"

That's the truest statement I've heard all day.

Link to tweet

[rufus dog]

32. He is doing it on purpose

TRUMP VOTERS ARE FUCKING STUPID!

He is trying to comingle the two situations AND trying to claim HRC was part of the Russian influence of the election.

[Zambero]

40. That could be it

Targeting Trump's cherished low-info dim bulb base in order to neutralize or impugn the integrity of the current investigation. But he sounded out of it nevertheless.

[delisen]

33. McCain seems very confused about something that is not confusing.

He seemed unable to comprehend that the Russian interference in the election is related only to the Trump campaign

[trueblue2007]

34. John McCain sounded totally out of it. Dementia ???

Got no information out of his rambling, he didn't even know he was out of time. He must be deaf.

[trueblue2007]

41. #impeachMcCain

[Zambero]

35. Reminds me of Reagan in year 8

Only worse. Equating Hillary's closed email investigation with on ongoing investigation of the Trump campaign over Russian interference. And why the conclusions are different, when there is no conclusion (yet) on the latter. If this was an attempt at applying false equivalence, it was a dismal failure. Whether the absurd line of questioning on McCain's part was intentional of the result of dementia is anyone's guess.

[Guilded Lilly]

44. Agreed that his presentation was blowhard oafish but his intent was

Quite clear. To insinuate that Clinton was involved as something other than a victim and that the process against the Cretin is unfair.
He looked and sounded doddering and his obsession to seem important and deep was typical MCCain ego.
He is still a total, old fart jerk.

[N_E_1 for Tennis]

36. Wowsers... He didn't really understand anything.

[Polly Hennessey]

37. I'm sleepy, slipping away

Something is wrong. He is befuddled and looks like he is losing weight (not in a good way).

[Guilded Lilly]

39. His expiration date as an important influence has long passed but...

His self-serving deceitfulness is still quite evident. He is bitter, he is bumbling, he is two-faced.

[Elwood P Dowd]

42. He looked like Red Skelton doing a comedy routine of an old drunk.

Comey look shocked. I imagine he was saying something like "what the fuck is this old fool talking about".

[Les Cowbell]

43. He kept going after the gavel came down

He didn't hear it until Burr finally told him his time was up - then he shook his head as if he wasn't allowed to ask questions. No hope for him being the adult in the room.

[Doreen]

45. He is not senile or drunk. He is just an asshole.

Always been an asshole and always will be an asshole.

[asuhornets]

47. President Comey????? n/t

[sarcasmo]

48. Johnny needs a Doctor visit.

[C_U_L8R]

52. He's Republican.

They've lost their minds.

[Grammy23]

53. McCain chalked it up to staying up late watching a ball game, I think.

Given the coherent nature of his tweet, I'd guess that one of his staff members wrote it. 😜😳😱
