McCain clarifies his Watergate comparison
Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), who compared the current controversies to Watergate on Tuesday night, shed light Wednesday on his attention-grabbing remark.
“What I was saying was that these scandals need to be completely — all the information needs to get out as quickly as possible so we can resolve the issue and move forward,” said McCain.
He added: “It is a serious issue the way other scandals have been serious issues.”
In the Watergate scandal, President Nixon resigned before he could be impeached.
