McCain: Infighting in GOP is Helping Democrats Win Battle Over Obamacare

Says GOP has become "dysfunctional"

|

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) on Friday said the GOP has become a "dysfunctional" party that has spent more time infighting over ObamaCare than targeting Democrats who passed the law. 

McCain blamed Sens. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Mike Lee (R-Utah.), the leaders of the movement to tie defunding of ObamaCare to the threat of a government shutdown, for driving wedges between Republicans. Both have appeared in ads attacking fellow GOP lawmakers.
