Republican U.S. Representative: John McCain supports terrorism in Egypt and Syria
Al Sahafa : Cairo Louie Gohmert , the Republican U.S. Representative, has attacked John McCain, Senator for Arizona, and a member of the committee of Military Forces and Defense, for his support to the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt who were responsible for burning churches, museums, and terroristic actions, besides his support to the terrorists in Syria claiming that they are "rebels".
According to CNN web site, McCain started to comment on the Ghomert's remark implied that he , Sen. John McCain, is a "supporter of al Qaeda and rebels" during an appearance on NBC Nightly News Wednesday night. McCain responded to the remark by dismissing Gohmert as someone of “no intelligence.”
Gohmert responded Thursday, saying that McCain "would be better off with 'no intelligence at all.' "Obviously, Senator McCain would be better off with ‘no intelligence’ since he does not know the Syrian opposition he met with is infested with al-Qaeda and terrorist kidnappers," Gohmert said: "His 'intelligence' even caused him to support the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt that burned churches and killed Christians, as the senator stood against the will of the massive majority of Egyptians including moderate Muslims, Christians, and secularists who demanded the Muslim Brotherhood extremist persecutions must end" on 30 June.
It is not the first time for McCain to attack senators and throw verbal punches because of some differences of opinions about some local and national issues. Once he called the senators of his party "angry birds" and criticized their decision to disable budget and shutdown the government for days .
During his last visit to Cairo in August, he called ouster of President Morsy a 'coup'. He avoided using the exact word "coup", but he said that the ouster of a president is called "coup", but he added that they were not in Egypt to dwell on the past but to help the country move forward in a peaceful, democratic manner.
Till now , The White House has avoided using that term for the Egyptian military's ouster of Morsy. "It wasn’t a coup — it was a restoration of democracy", said U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, in recent remarks about the Egyptian military’s ouster of President Mohammed Morsi during his visit to Pakistan .
