President Obama “has his priorities so screwed up that it’s unbelievable,” says Senator John McCain (R., Ariz.), referring to the administration’s response to Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s reelection victory this week.
McCain urged the president to put aside his personal problems with Netanyahu and focus on addressing the larger issues in the Middle East rather than fuel further tension between the longtime ally.
“The president should get over it — get over your temper tantrum, Mr. President,” the senator said on State of the Union. “It’s time that we work together with our Israeli friends and try to stem this tide of ISIS and Iranian movement throughout the region which is threatening the very fabric of the region.”
“The least of your problems is what Bibi Netanyahu said during a reelection campaign,” McCain continued.
