Arizona Sen. John McCain was allegedly conned by two Russian pranksters into discussing America’s foreign policy via the phone.

As reported by Sputnik, notorious pranksters Vladimir Kuznetsov and Alexei Stolyarov — aka Vovan and Lexus — made hoax phone calls to three U.S. political figures: Sens. John McCain, Lindsey Graham, and Mitch McConnell.

While the precise details of the latter two calls remain unclear, a recording of the call with McCain has been published to YouTube.

Stolyarov, who pretended to be Ukrainian Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman, warned the Arizona senator that Russian President Vladimir Putin was preparing to release evidence showing that he — McCain — is a Russian spy and had been recruited during his time as a prisoner of war in Vietnam.

“I thank you, Mr. Prime Minister — I will look forward to them revealing how I was brainwashed by our North Vietnamese friends,” McCain replied. “Maybe you could ask your ambassador to tell me more about that.”

It gets worse.

When the pair of pranksters questioned McCain about whether Trump intended to lift the sanctions imposed on Russia by former President Barack Obama, the Arizona senator assured them that he would do everything in his power to make sure this does not happen.

“I have to be very frank with my friend, the prime minister, and that is that I do not know what the president is going to do,” he said. “We will continue to advocate, including our Senate leader, Senator McConnell, for maintaining sanctions and increasing sanctions.”

Assuming this recording is legitimate — it certainly sounds like him — it just goes to show that the senator’s age may be catching up to him.

The fact that he did not display even an iota of suspicion during the inordinately odd call was is beyond disturbing.

How could he not suspect ANYTHING? Just consider the absurdity of some of the idiotic questions these pranksters posed to him.

While McCain is a distinguished Vietnam veteran and patriot who has served decades in the Congress, perhaps it is time for him to step down?

What do you think?
