Sen. John McCain exploded on Fox News’ Peter Doocy on Wednesday for asking him if he would oppose everything that President Trump asks him to do.
Doocy asked Sen. McCain if his relationship with the president is “so frayed” that McCain would “not support anything that he comes to you and asks for?”
McCain snapped, “Why would you say something that stupid? Why would you ask something that dumb?”
“My job as a United States senator — you mean I am somehow going to behave in a way that I’m going to block everything because of some personal disagreement?” McCain said incredulously. “That’s a dumb question.”
There has been a significant amount of tension between McCain and Trump over the past few days. On Monday, McCain bashed Trump’s “America First” nationalistic policies, to which Trump warned McCain that he “fights back” and “it won’t be pretty.”
