'It's an emergency that we step up and deal with this axis of evil...because it's an immediate threat to the United States,' the GOP senator said.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell on Sunday invoked the controversial phrase 'axis of evil' to describe growing global threats to the United States and its North Atlantic Treaty Organization allies.McConnell, a Kentucky Republican, made the comments during interviews on both Fox News and CBS News.
'Later on CBS News' Face the Nation, the senator added: 'There's an axis of evil in the world: China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran, and we need to stand up to the axis of evil, not try to do business with them.'The phrase 'axis of evil' was most famously employed by former President George W. Bush in the wake of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in New York City, referring at the time to North Korea, Iran, and Iraq.
