Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) on Sunday said he is concerned with President Donald Trump's recent memorandum that reorganizes the National Security Council (NSC).
"I am worried about the National Security Council," McCain told CBS's "Face the Nation."
Trump on Saturday signed a memorandum that restructured the NSC, adding White House chief strategist Stephen Bannon to "the principals committee," and removing the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the director of national intelligence.
According to the memorandum, the director of national intelligence and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff "shall attend where issues pertaining to their responsibilities and expertise are to be discussed."
McCain, who chairs the Senate Armed Services Committee, called Bannon's placement on the NSC a "radical departure from any national security council in history."

(3,040 posts)Sometimes the enemy of our enemy is our friend. We need to win over some Republican senators if we want to be able to fight back against Trump and the batshit legislation that is sure to be coming down the pike. Hopefully we win big in 2018 so we don't have to team up with these guys, but as it stands now, we are in the minority and we need to win.
I am not saying to back their legislation, but if we can convince them to dissent from the GOP majority to block legislation and appointees, it will benefit us in the end. Because, sometimes what is done will not be able to be undone even if we win in 2018 and 2020.
