A senior Republican senator is calling for Turkey’s ambassador to be thrown out of the country in response to violence involving members of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s (REH’-jehp TY’-ihp UR’-doh-wahns) security detail.
Sen. John McCain expressed outrage at video that appears to show Erdogan’s bodyguards violently breaking up a protest earlier this week outside the Turkish ambassador’s residence in Washington. McCain is chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee and spoke Thursday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”
McCain says, “We should throw their ambassador the hell out of the United States of America.”
