'Mean McCain' never left
Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), this week:
[McCain] blasted Sen. Kay Hagan (D-N.C.) on the North Carolina campaign trail, saying she skipped meetings of the Senate Armed Services Committee while Islamic militants executed two U.S. citizens.
“Here we are with Americans being beheaded, and Sen. Hagan doesn’t even show up for the briefing,” McCain told reporters after a Tuesday stop for GOP Senate hopeful Thom Tillis, The Charlotte Observer reported.
Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), two years ago:
Senator John McCain is demanding answers on the Benghazi attack, but his office tells ABC News he missed a classified briefing on the subject because of a “scheduling error.”
The classified briefing was held on Wednesday before the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee – of which Senator McCain is a member – and lasted three hours…. During part of the briefing, McCain was holding a press conference demanding answers about the administration’s handling of the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya.

McCain, however, justifies going to North Carolina and New Hampshire to attack his colleagues by pointing to the so-called “nuclear option.” In other words, Republicans abused filibuster rules to a degree without precedent in American history; Democrats restored majority rule to votes on most nominations; and McCain’s feelings are so hurt that he’s decided to campaign against his fellow senators in their home states.
