McCain calls on PINO to speak out on Alt-Right campagin targeting McMaster

Trump did not call out Alt-right today, and retweeting a Alt-righter tonight...

"The recent attacks upon (McMaster) from the so-called 'alt-right' are disgraceful. Since this fringe movement cannot attract the support of decent Americans, it resorts to impugning the character of a good man and outstanding soldier who has served honorably in uniform and sacrificed more for our country than any of his detractors ever have," McCain said in a statement Monday afternoon. "Such smear tactics should not be tolerated and deserve an emphatic response."
"I hope the President will once again stand up for his national security adviser and denounce these repugnant attacks, which arise from the same purveyors of hatred and ignorance who precipitated the recent violence in Charlottesville," McCain added.

other members of congress understand precisely what alt right is. Even democrats are far behind on this. This should mount pressure on trump to fire bannon.
