Yikes. More from the Washington Examiner:
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., on Wednesday accused Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., of “working for Vladimir Putin” after Paul blocked consideration of a treaty that would allow Montenegro into the United Nations.
McCain tried to call up the treaty and warned that anyone blocking it would be helping Russia maintain its influence over the small country across the Adriatic Sea from Italy.
“If there’s objection, you are achieving the objectives of Vladimir Putin,” McCain warned. “If they object, they are now carrying out the desires and ambitions of Vladimir Putin, and I do not say that lightly.”
What to make of this? Initial reactions are all over the map:
Insane McCain, strikes again……

McCain has discovered that Rand Paul is a Russian sleeper agent. Either that or McCain is officially senile. https://t.co/7lJ6gpfGE2

Wow! You tell him Senator McCain a true American Hero! Maybe Paul is also on the dole from the Kremlin.
