Letters: McCain speaks up for America

Re “McCain defends top Clinton staffer,” July 19

Since her failed presidential campaign, we hadn’t heard much from Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.), but her accusation against Huma Abedin, a top aide to Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, brought her back into the public eye.

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) condemned her attacks, and I hope she listens. Watching politics lately has been painful enough without having a McCarthy-like witch hunt.

Kudos to McCain for defending Abedin against baseless accusations of connections to the Muslim Brotherhood. He clearly sees the attacks as contrary to America’s national security interests.

Is McCain the sole remaining GOP statesman in the Congress?
