Republican Sen. James Inhofe told reporters Monday that Sen. John McCain was "partially to blame" for the controversy over the lowering of the White House flag.

Inhofe, a senior member of Senate Armed Services Committee, was highly complimentary of McCain but when asked about the flag flap he attributed it to the late senator's public spat with President Donald Trump in recent years. He described both men as "strong willed people."

"Well, you know, frankly, I think that John McCain is partially to blame for that because he is very outspoken. He disagreed with the President in certain areas and wasn't too courteous about it," Inhofe said.

No I did not make this up. Hit the link, Inhofe is standing up for Trump.. Supporting Trump in this so called "controversy." over a dead man.

1. Isn't he the next chair of Senate Armed Forces?

Taking McCain's former position?

[Stuart G]

3. Yes, you are correct, I looked it up. Another reason we need the majority in the senate no text.

[oberliner]

5. Makes his comments all the more distasteful

[mobeau69]

2. Another genius.

[Solly Mack]

4. Damn

[regnaD kciN]

6. I remember how Bartcop...

...used to call Inhofe “Senator Pissquick.”

[Bengus81]

7. This IDIOT continually makes Kansas look sane............

[7962]

8. He's right of course. McCain passed away to make Trump look bad.

That John, he had it planned all along.

[reACTIONary]

17. Actually it's a plot against ...

.... Kelli Ward.

McCain conspiracists say his brain cancer was a hoax

18. You should have seen what was said about McCain on Fox and FR

The deplorables were out in force.

[7962]

20. I was wondering about that. The Fox part that is;

one of the guys I work for plays Michael Savage on the radio and today I heard him talking about the "chickenhawk fake conservative commentators on Fox" talking down McCains service. But I never heard if he mentioned anyones name or when it happened. I was only in the office a short time so I dont know if he said names later.

34. They, rightwingers, have no class.

[Arkansas Granny]

9. That is one of the most asinine statements I've ever heard.

Inhofe needs to stick to snowballs.

[JohnnyRingo]

30. I know!

Inhofe is always saying something so dumb as to wonder how he came to be at this level of governance. I often look at him or that moron Gomert and wonder what kind of person would see them as an ideal representative for themselves. How stupid do people have to be...

I finally just threw my hands up after Trump was elected.

[WinstonSmith4740]

10. It's been a while.

There's been so much stupid out of Trump, and it comes so often, that it's been a while since I heard something that was so shocking as to be jaw dropping.

This did it.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

11. Inhofe, one of the stupidest members of the U.S. Senate ever.

[B Stieg]

29. "Senator Snowball," right?

This guy is right out of the Louie Gohmert mold!

[Stuart G]

12. Another important point: James Inhofe is NOT up for re-election till 2020.

I think he was sought out by the head stupid person to support him . I think that the head stupid person may have called him and asked for this statement.

He doesn't have to worry about re-election for 2 years. No one will remember what he said, especially if he retires and doesn't run for reelection. This is so stupid, that it smells from coming from "Mr. Stupid in Charge" and not Inhofe himself. Only one person around is this stupid..

13. Inhofe is just pure scum but he is not the only one.

Republican Senate Candidate Kelli Ward Slammed After Complaining About Timing of John McCain’s Death

A Trump supporter of course.

Arizona Republican Kelli Ward was blistered on Twitter on Sunday morning after it was revealed she and one of her staffers accused Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) of announcing that he was about to die at a time that would harm their campaign.

[Stuart G]

14. Yes, the Republicans are a pond of scum, with lots of scum bits here and there...

[CentralMass]

28. Until they do something demonstrable to prove otherwise, they are all scum.

[Vivid Lizard]

15. Thank You, Senator Idiot!

Gawd, what an incredibly stupid thing to say for 2 reasons...

1. No need to explain. The stupid hurts. But more importantly...

2. He is actually confirming (or at least agreeing) that the flag controversy is because Lumpy Trumpy is utterly petty and got his wittle feewings hurt by Senator McCain. Let that sink in. The POTUS SCROTUS actually REFUSED to follow the law and common decency in honoring a senator who passed away by DELIBERATELY refusing to lower the flag to half mast, AND, Inhofe said he not only thinks that is the case. but even that it was justified!

Holy Frikken Cow!!! W.....T.....F????????

[LiberalFighter]

16. I hope the family keeps him away from the funeral.

[Demonaut]

19. that man needs to resign

[truthisfreedom]

21. You gotta love these repukes backbiting endlessly.

It shows you exactly what they’re made of.

[klook]

22. And STILL no apology from McCain's corpse!

[Jedi Guy]

23. Okay, that legit made me laugh out loud.

[TomSlick]

24. GEEZ!

I know the Inhofe is an idiot - but Geez!

[Behind the Aegis]

25. Inhofe is a POS.

That any is hateful and ignorant in a way that makes a normal, average person's mind hurt.

[John Fante]

26. This is the same simple shit who brought a snowball

to the senate floor to disprove global warming. 😂

The GOP is officially braindead. Let's lower the flags for that.

[dem in texas]

27. As lacking in Character as his buddy Trump

Trump is pissed because McCain, in death is stealing the headlines. Not sure what Inhofe's problem is, he is revealing himself to be as sorry a piece of humanity as Trump.

[Angry Dragon]

31. blame the dead guy

[Paladin]

32. I honestly wonder if Inhofe has enough smarts to wipe his own ass.

Does Louie Gohmert take dumbfuck lawmaker lessons from him? I wouldn't be surprised.....

[Mc Mike]

33. Supporting T Rump over a dead man, because T Rump is the only guy in the world who could lose

a fight with a dead man.

So much winning.
