McCain vows 'one hell of a fight' on sequestration | TheHill

McCain vows 'one hell of a fight' on sequestration | TheHill: Sen. John McCain, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, declared war on sequestration earlier this week.

"Next week, [Defense Secretary] Ash Carter is going to come over with a budget and then we're going to have one hell of a fight over sequestration," McCain said at a New America Foundation conference on Wednesday.

"I will not vote for a budget in the United States Senate that has sequestration in it. I can't do that to the men and women who are serving," he said.

McCain said he didn't know how many people were with him.
