Tuesday on Arizona’s KTAR, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) said President Donald Trump saying North Korea would face “fire and fury” in response to their threats was not helpful.

McCain said, “I take exception to the President’s comments because you gotta be sure you can do what you say you’re gonna do.”

He added, “All I can say is that I don’t believe that President Reagan or Present Eisenhower or other presidents that I have admired would have said the same thing. They might have done as much as we could. But that kind of rhetoric, I’m not sure how it helps.”
