McCain: Trump defamed Khan, does not represent GOP

Washington (CNN)Sen. John McCain accused Donald Trump of defaming Khizr Khan and argued the Republican presidential candidate does not represent the GOP.

"While our Party has bestowed upon him the nomination, it is not accompanied by unfettered license to defame those who are the best among us," McCain said in a statement Monday. Did Trump go too far? Trump's criticism of Khan after he spoke from the stage of the Democratic convention last week resurrected the billionaire developer's past comments accusing McCain of not being a war hero because he was captured in Vietnam.

All I read was the headline.

No, John, with all due respect, he represents the rank-and-file republicans. Not, the GOPe.

And we’re happy about it.

This is a moment in time. The good things are most Americans are incredibly fickle and wll fly back to Trump on the next terrors attack.

And if we dont win, I’ve seen more than enough to justify any action on November 9.

Trump is a success. The GOP is a failure. Says it all.

Hey John - isn’t there a war somewhere you need to be starting? Don’t get distracted.

The RINO’s ‘bestowed’ the nomination to Mr. Trump? I think not.

They have done everything imaginable to derail his candidacy and shamefully continue to do so.

We the People did the bestowing, John.

John McCain.... the guy who helped inflict 8 years of Obama on us accuses Trump of being mean.

Let’s remember McCain had plenty of nice things to say about Obama but he’s unsparing in his criticism of Trump.

Screw him!

Trump did no such thing. Show me the defamation.

In fact the opposite is true. I’m tired of people who don’t think reality matters, just media spin.

Khan is political. He could have appeared in the GOP convention and told Hillary she sacrificed nothing.

Judging from recent criticism of Trump from the GOP, I agree. Trump DOESN’T represent them. That’s why he has the support he does!!

And all I can think of to say is, “Thank God that Donald Trump does not represent the GOP! The GOP in it’s present makeup needs to die a ignominious death.

McCain needs to educate himself.
