The upheaval came Thursday on Capitol Hill after members of an anti-war group calling itself Code Pink approached a witness table where former secretaries of state Henry Kissinger, Madeleine Albright and George P. Shultz were testifying. The protesters carried signs calling the 91-year-old Kissinger a war criminal.
McCain blurted out, “Get out of here, you low-life scum.”
Capitol Police removed the protesters from the room.
The hearing was the third in a series in which the Arizona Republican has called luminaries from the foreign policy world to share their experiences with lawmakers on the panel.
What kind of lousy security?
It’s the first time that John McCain has something right.
Way to go. This man is a war hero and should have been our President.
It just so happens, that Kissinger is a criminal
Calling people “scum” ? That’s like using the “n” word ……I’m kidding !!! Don’t have a heart attack .
