WATCH John McCain Shut Down A Fox News Reporter For Asking A ‘Dumb Question’

Arizona GOP Senator John McCain is not a fan of President Trump. And he also doesn’t suffer fools gladly, as he proved Tuesday evening when Fox News reporter Peter Doocy stuck a microphone in his face and asked, in light of the back and forth between McCain and Trump over the past day or so:

“Has your relationship with the president frayed to the point that you are not going to support anything that he comes to you and asks for?”

Glaring at Doocy, McCain replied:

“Why would you say something that stupid? Why would you ask something that dumb? Huh?”

The goofy Doocy didn’t respond, only stood silent and waited as McCain lobbed another verbal bomb at him:

“My job as a United States senator, is a senator from Arizona which I was just re-elected to. You mean that I am somehow going to behave in a way that I’m going to block everything because of some personal disagreement?”

McCain finished off the clearly stunned Fox News doofus by repeating:

“That’s a dumb question.”

The already strained relationship between McCain and Trump has grown more heated this week. As he accepted the Liberty Medal on Monday evening, the Arizona Senator warned against the United States becoming a home for “half-baked, spurious nationalism.” McCain also noted:

“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 is as unpatriotic as an attachment to any other tired dogma of the past that Americans consigned to the ash heap of history.

“We live in a land made of ideals, not blood and soil.”

In response, Trump remarked during a radio interview on Tuesday that he would retaliate in due time:

“At some point I fight back and it won’t be pretty.”
