It would be a worthwhile news story just to hear that Sen. John McCain said something good-naturedly, especially to a fellow Republican. But for McCain to call fellow Sen. Bob Corker — also absent from the list of 19 Republicans who voted against cloture and Obamacare — a “traitor,” even as a joke, just goes to show where McCain proudly stands between the aisles of the Senate.
He wasn’t so good-natured when he labeled Sen. Ted Cruz and company “wacko birds,” and this morning Corker accused Cruz and Sen. Mike Lee of Utah of grandstanding out of a desire for the spotlight.
The spotlight was on the entire Senate today as they voted, and conservatives weren’t so good natured about the traitors congratulating each other over their victory.
I will say it because no one else will: John McCain is a TRAITOR, his 'war hero' card was played out long ago #tcot #RednationRising

There’s no love lost for Corker either.

Corker doesn’t seem to be bothered by his new nickname.
Corker's response, with equal measure of humor: "I've learned from the best traitor."
