McCain still 'calls the shots' on Armed Services Committee from Arizona, Inhofe saysThe Hill, Jan 28, 2018, Rebecca Kheel
Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman John McCain (R-Ariz.) continues to “call the shots†for the panel while battling brain cancer in Arizona, the committee’s No. 2 Republican says.
“I’m chairing the meetings, but we’re chairing the meetings consistent with what John feels we should be doing,†Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.) said in a clip released Friday of an interview for C-SPAN’s "Newsmakers." “In fact, actually deciding on what hearings we’re having, that’s a decision that’s coming out of the chairman, who is John McCain.
“So obviously during his recovery period, he can’t be here for these, and you can’t stop everything now. So I give you two answers to that: He’s calling the shots, and I’m showing up.â€
