Watch: John McCain’s Weird Questioning During Comey Hearing [video]
Has John McCain finally lost control of his faculties? In Thursday’s questioning, the Senator from Arizona looked frail while issuing a bizarre line of questioning to the now fired FBI Director.
McCain tried, and failed, to link the Hillary email investigation to the Russia interference probe. The corollary between the two is unclear as was his point for bringing it up.
Stuttering and stammering his way through questions, he seemed to lose track of who was who and what was what. But at least, everyone can be certain that something is a “big deal” as McCain issues the phrase constantly during his questioning.

Is anyone else suddenly worried about @SenJohnMcCain? I'm not following this.

McCain then blamed the bumbling line of questions on a baseball team and that people were just too stupid to keep up. The Arizona Diamondbacks issued a clever response.

Social media became even more unkind to poor John – deservedly so.
