The Blaze reported Saturday that McCain told Todd in the same interview that Trump’s assertion on Twitter that the media was the “enemy of the American people” was “how dictators got started.” He then went on to suggest that an investigation into the Trump administration’s alleged ties to Russia as they pertain to that country’s potential involvement in the 2016 election was an appropriate move for the GOP congressional leaders to make.
“There’s probably going to be more shoes to drop,” McCain told Todd when asked about the resignation of former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, who left the administration Monday over potential inappropriate conversations with Russia’s ambassador to the United States prior to the inauguration.
“Can be Americans be confident that a Republican-controlled Congress can investigate this president thoroughly if necessary?” Todd asked.
“I hope so. And I have to believe so,” McCain replied. “More hope than belief.”
