Sen. John McCain spoke up about the Trump administration’s policy of separating migrant families at the border, tweeting Monday that it’s an “affront” and that the administration has “the power to rescind” it.
The administration’s current family separation policy is an affront to the decency of the American people, and contrary to principles and values upon which our nation was founded. The administration has the power to rescind this policy. It should do so now.

Though the separations do stem directly from the Trump administration’s actions and not from any law, the Democrats (and Independents who caucus with them) have introduced the “Keep Families Together Act” to take matters into their own hands. No Republicans, including McCain, have signed it so far.
Have to give Gramps the props he deserves, especially for pointing out that Trump has the power to stop this, and doesn’t need Congress or the Democrats to do it.
I wonder if this whole disaster is driving Trump so crazy that he’ll attack McCain. He would be stupid enough to do so.
Trump’s numbers keep getting better though:
"No Republicans, including McCain, have signed it so far."
Oh so telling…
My Two Cents
The fact that “opposing” GOPers do nothing but tweet about family separations would be OK if Trump were merely tweeting about an intended action. He’s implemented an incredibly evil policy; they stop at tweeting. Do none of them have the decency to take real action?
The sad truth is that Trump’s dislike for McCain will cause Trump to dig in deeper to keep the policy in place.
