Trump Attacks John McCain Over Obamacare Repeal Vote
- 5 years ago
President Trump again went after John McCain on Twitter.
Senator John McCain died in August of last year, and months later, President Trump is still attacking him.
On Saturday, Trump took to Twitter and slammed McCain over the Russia dossier and Obamacare repeal vote.
"Spreading the fake and totally discredited Dossier 'is unfortunately a very dark stain against John McCain.' Ken Starr, Former Independent Counsel," Trump tweeted. "He had far worse 'stains' than this, including thumbs down on repeal and replace after years of campaigning to repeal and replace!"
The late senator's daughter, Meghan McCain, promptly fired back at the president.
"No one will ever love you the way they loved my father.... I wish I had been given more Saturday's with him," she tweeted. "Maybe spend yours with your family instead of on twitter obsessing over mine?"
After John McCain gave a deciding "no" vote on the GOP's effort to overhaul Obamacare in 2017, Trump repeatedly criticized him, even while he was battling brain cancer.
Cindy McCain, John McCain's wife, told the BBC late last year that Trump's attacks on her husband are something she may never get over.
