Senator John McCain on US role in Syria ‘massacre’

Senator John McCain (R-AZ) joined Soledad O’Brien on CNN’s Starting Point to talk about the crisis in Syria, including military assistance.

McCain says, “Right now, we should be finding ways to help the people who are being slaughtered as we speak…. There’s no legitimacy left in the Assad regime. So we can work with countries to provide assistance in a broad variety of ways… military equipment… is an option that should be considered, but maybe not directly…. For us to sit by and watch this massacre and allow Russia and China to their everlasting shame veto resolutions in the United Nations Security Council is not acceptable. There are many things that we can achieve working with Turkey, the Arab League and other concerned nations and we ought to get about it quickly to stop this massacre.”

Starting Point with Soledad O’Brien airs week mornings from 7-9am ET on CNN.
