Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) blasted Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) Sunday, saying the U.S. is “very lucky” that President Donald Trump is in office instead of McCain during an interview on ABC News’ “This Week.”
The former 2016 Republican presidential candidate derided the 2008 GOP presidential nominee for allowing his “personal dispute” with Trump to cloud his criticism of the new administration.
