Trump attacks John McCain even more in an TV interview scheduled to air tomorrow morning
"I'm not a fan of John McCain," Trump said again Thursday in an interview taped for Fox Business Network's"Mornings With Maria."
Added Rep. Dan Crenshaw of Texas, a former Navy SEAL:"Mr. President, seriously, stop talking about Senator McCain." A few Republicans, such as Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah, objected. Then Trump on Wednesday fired back at an official event in Lima, Ohio. Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, who attended the Trump event, told The Columbus Dispatch afterward:"John McCain was a war hero."
Trump has said for years that he doesn't think McCain is a hero because the senator was captured in Vietnam. McCain was tortured and held prisoner for more than five years. Trump's relentless new targeting of the deceased senator seemed to cross a boundary for several Republicans.
