The discord between the two senators from the same party is remarkable even in the current political environment. Paul's comments came in an interview on MSNBC's "Morning Joe''. He was responding to remarks McCain made a day earlier while urging a Senate vote to include Montenegro as part of NATO.
Russia opposes Montenegro's inclusion in NATO. As debate ensued, McCain saw Paul come to the Senate floor and remarked that anyone who objected to his request would be carrying out "the desires and ambitions of Vladimir Putin.'' Paul objected anyway.
