McCain: I'm 'Almost Speechless' Over Report Of Trump's Remarks To Russians
Source: Talking Points Memo

Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) on Sunday said he was almost speechless about a report that President Donald Trump disparaged former FBI Director James Comey during a meeting with Russian officials in the Oval Office.
Im almost speechless because I dont know why someone would say something like that, McCain said on Fox News Sunday.
The New York Times reported on Friday that Trump expressed relief about Comeys termination to Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Russian Ambassador to the U.S. Sergey Kislyak. According to the report, Trump called Comey a real nut job and said he had faced great pressure because of Russia that was taken off by his decision to fire Comey.
The White House did not deny the accuracy of those quotes.
McCain on Sunday called Lavrov nothing but a propagandist and the stooge of a thug and a murderer who had no business in the Oval Office. With regard to Comeys firing, McCain said he could not explain Trumps decision.
Mr. Comey was highly respected and highly regarded, so I cant explain it. I dont think it was a smart thing to do, he said. Honestly, I cannot explain a lot of the Presidents actions.

Hey Mclame - THAT is how he talks. Have you not been paying attention? He is "street" - rude, crude, and abrupt. He spouts endless fabrications, exaggerations, and lies and his "base" likes him that way, and people like you cower in the corner and support his ass.
