Sen McCain gets called an “Interventionist” on Fox News

On Fox’s Studio B this afternoon, Shepard Smith put the pressure on Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) to explain his seeming disdain for Sen. Rand Paul‘s filibuster regarding the executive branch’s authority to use targeted assassinations against American citizens on U.S. soil. At one point during the interview, McCain became offended at Smith’s suggestion that he is an “interventionist” when it comes to foreign policy.

Part of this is about the battle for the heart and soul of the party. The long-held Republican and conservative view on war is to avoid it at all costs. That sort of a voice has had a difficult time. The Rand Paul wing, if you will, has had a difficult time having its voice heard. You and others have been interventionists.
