WASHINGTON — Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain denied Monday that he said U.S. leadership under President Donald Trump is worse than when Barack Obama was in office.
“I never said such a thing. A thousand times I said, ‘Look at the world in 2009 and look at it today.’ Of course, I never said [that]. If I did I was joking,” McCain told The Daily Caller.
The Guardian published an interview with McCain Sunday that quoted him as saying American leadership under Obama was better than it is now under Trump. The statement was in response to when he was asked about President Trump’s criticism of London Mayor Sadique Khan.

Who do you believe?
This idiot doesn’t know what he said two minutes ago. I’m surprised he doesn’t regularly wet his pants when he’s in the senate chambers…
John TRAITOR TRASH McCain, of course you liked Obama the Communist better than Trump. You McCain, are a communist TRAITOR SOCIALIST OPEN BORDERS GLOBALIST, just like your buddy Obama the Communist. Two COMMUNIST peas in a pod!
Liar, liar, pants on fire.. PITY its not just a nursery rhyme, and NOT an actual curse on these politicians (sorry, professional liars!!).. Either that, or the Pinocchio curse!..
QUOTE: “When the Guardian asked if the U.S.’s international standing was better under Barack Obama, McCain, responded: “As far as American leadership is concerned, yes.”” Different words for sure, BUT an idiot with and IQ of 2.3 would understand EXACTLY what was meant. Implying is exactly the same as outright stating something. With McCain, hemorrhoids and brain (singular in his case) are alternate and interchangeable with each other. Location makes no difference….
“I never said such a thing. A thousand times I said, ‘Look at the world in 2009 and look at it today.’ Of course, I never said [that]. If I did I was joking,”
This idiot can’t even remember if he was joking or not. But in this case, well, “if I did I was joking”. Did he say it or not? Based on his words, he did. So, what I is his excuse for being a traitor.
McCain is a coward and a ***. They called him song bird because he sang everything he knew to the Vietnamese. For being locked in a box and giving up everything he was asked for, he is called a hero?
How was he a hero for being a *** coward?
As a life long Republican I had a lot of respect for McCain. I voted for him on several different elections. However those days are gone. John transitioned to a far more liberal senator. In addition while he wanted to be known as a Maverick and he simply became unpredictable and frankly undependable. I became concerned about diminishing capabilities about 8 years ago when he was making really inappropriate comments. More recently he seems to be degenerating mentally almost daily. The things he says, then denies saying are the acts of someone who is loosing his grasp on his thought processes. He should have retired two elections ago while he maintained much of the respect he once had. He needs to retire now not five years from now. Unfortunately there is no mechanism to remove senators for being demented. If there were, we would probably remove more than just McCain. At this point he is a comic character that is made fun of by both sides of the aisle. It’s a shame but these guys get in power and they never seem to be willing to give it up.
I think you made a mistake voting for him so many times.. IMO he’s been useless since he got into politics..
This old gizzard, really does not know where or who he is. Or what is he there for.
I would not believe McCain if he told me that the SUN WOULD RISE TOMORROW !!!
When a man such as John McCain wants to be something more than a US Senator from the state he was elected to represent – in this case Sen. McCain wants to be known as ” the conscience of the senate”- it proves he been in D.C. too long, way too long. Sen. McCain usually is on both sides of the an issue at the same time. When the press starts give him attention he starts moving left of center. He said it and he knows it!
Arizona is ashamed of him, I think he has been a Senator way to long!
Hell the entire country should be ashamed of him and want him gone.
Why is it that the dems don’t have traitors on theirs side? It’s always the republicans that get elected and once in office turn their backs on the voters that supported them but can’t find the time to criticize the dems even when they are pushing a cocktail of dangerous schemes
Sorry for those low ratings, but I helped a little. You’re right, and even those who gave you three stars know it. The gutless republicans let Obama get away with far too much, including impeachable offenses, while some democrats were calling for Trump’s impeachment even before the inauguration. And now? Crickets.
Watching McCain ask questions during the last two Senate Hearings shows a man who is way, way past his prime (I am being generous). He showed incoherence, perhaps signs of dementia, so much that listeners could not understand where he was coming from, his question so simple but he made it difficult to fathom. He just won re-election last year so we have 5-1/2 years to put up with him.
I don’t trust the media any more than I trust McCain! And I am a Republican.
I’m Conservative, not republican..
Like Vidkun Quisling’s “leadership” of Norway was than Daladier’s of France or Chamberlain’s of UK…and then McLame tries to pull both feet out of his mouth.
When an elected official becomes unable to perform their duties due to physical or mental deficiency, they need to be removed from office.
In that case, John, Pelosi, and RBG should all be removed..
