Rep. John McCain Warns of Trump's "Half-Baked, Spurious Nationalism"
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Republican Senator John Mc Cain of Arizona condemned what he called
"half-baked, spurious nationalism" Monday, in a clear reference to
President Trump's foreign policy. Mc Cain made the comment during a
speech at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia.

Sen. John Mc Cain: "To fear the world we have organized and led for
three-quarters of a century, to abandon the ideals we have advanced
around the globe, to refuse the obligations of international leadership
and our duty to remain the last best hope of Earth, for the sake of some
half-baked, spurious nationalism, cooked up by people who would rather
find scapegoats than solve problems."
