@SenJohnMcCain 1/ Damn John,
You had me going for a minute there.
I thought wow, here is the John McCain of his younger days, a heroic, brave patriot.
@SenJohnMcCain
And then I read the last line & was taken aback, saddened, shocked, disappointed.

@SenJohnMcCain 2/ I read your last lines John:
"Americans are waiting and hoping for (censored title) Trump to embrace that sacraed responsibility. One can only hope they are not waiting totally in vain."

And I realized, there is no line for Trump to cross where you will utter the words.

@SenJohnMcCain 3/ I realized if today will not cause you to choose to put county before party and use your power as a US Senator, and war hero, to call for Trump's impeachment, there is nothing that will bring a single Republican to the side of our Republic.

@SenJohnMcCain 4/ This is pure cowardice John McCain.
And it pains me to use that word towards someone who gave so much to honor his country.
But you are a US Senator, who should know better than anyone in Congress the dangers of an authoritarian regime, so this is on you @SenJohnMcCain

@SenJohnMcCain 5/ You could have resigned a few months ago, allowed someone to be appointed who might stand up to Trump.
But you didn't.
You decided holding onto your seat, to protect Mitch McConnell, who would protect Trump, would be your legacy.

@SenJohnMcCain 6/ Senator John McCain,
it is your time to lead.
It is your time to be the man that you were as you served our country, in the air, and in a POW camp.
You know what you must do.
You know what has become of your party.
It is time to stand up and call the traitors, traitors.

@SenJohnMcCain 7/ John McCain,
it is time for you to step up & demand immediate impeachment of Donald Trump.
You have spelled it out in your statement:
Donald Trump is a traitor to the USA, to the office he possesses, to freedom, to democracy.

@SenJohnMcCain 8/ Donald Trump is loyal to authoritarians, and opposes all of our allies.
There is NO REASON to allow him to continue in office.
From today on, any US official in power supporting Donald Trump is a traitor.
It CAN NOT be stated more simply than this.
#TreasonSummit

@SenJohnMcCain 9/ You can either join us with #ImpeachTrump @SenJohnMcCain
or you can join Putin, Erdogan, Kim Jong Un and the rest of the authoritarian tyrants of the world & side with Trump.
You can either side with the USA, democracy & freedom & #ImpeachTrump or you can chose a dictator.
