While Senators McCain, Warren & Graham visited US troops in Afghanistan, Drumpf played golf,,




Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) were among the bipartisan group of senators who visited American troops stationed in Afghanistan for the Fourth of July on Tuesday.

Sen. John McCain led the congressional delegation as the lawmakers met with top government and military leaders in Kabul, the Associated Press reported.

“As we celebrate Independence Day, may we show our gratitude and keep in our prayers the brave and selfless patriots serving around the world and their families, who shoulder our burdens every day to protect our freedom and keep us safe from harm," McCain said in a statement.

The visit comes at a time when President Trump and Defense Secretary Jim Mattis are weighing whether to deploy more U.S. troops to the state.
