Sen. John McCain said the US should toss the Turkish ambassador “the hell out” after a demonstration outside the envoy’s home in Washington turned violent and several protesters were beaten bloody.

“We should throw their ambassador the hell out of the United States of America,” the Arizona Republican told MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” on Thursday. “This is the United States of America. This isn’t Turkey. This isn’t a Third World country. And this kind of thing cannot go unresponded to diplomatically.”

The clash between the peaceful protesters and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s armed security guards took place after he appeared at the White House for his first face-to-face meeting with President Trump.

“These are not just average people at this meeting. This is Erdogan’s security detail,” McCain said. “Somebody told them to go out there and beat up on these peaceful demonstrators.”

He said there should be repercussions against Turkey for allowing such a violent put-down of a peaceful demonstration and called for the attackers to be identified and criminally charged.

“You cannot have that happen in the United States of America. People have the right in our country to peacefully demonstrate — and they were peacefully demonstrating,” McCain said.

The Turkish Embassy, in a statement Wednesday, described the protest as “unpermitted” and “provocative.”

It said the protesters belonged to the Kurdistan Workers Party, the PKK, which Turkey has labeled a terrorist organization.

Police in Washington broke up the melee, arrested two men and are pursuing charges against several others they are trying to identify with the help of the State Department and the Secret Service.

Metropolitan Police Chief Peter Newsham called the attacks “brutal” and vowed to “pursue everything that’s within our legal power to hold the folks that were responsible for their actions.”

State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert condemned the use of violence to stifle free speech.

“We are communicating our concern to the Turkish government in the strongest possible terms,” she said.
