“He suffered a LOT under the torture of his captors. He stayed alive. He might have never been the same after that, but to say he isn’t a hero, is bunk”
Colaborating with the enemy does not make you a hero. Anyone that belittles the families of MIAs and has as their best friend the traitorous John Kerry has lost what little respect he ever had for serving his country. As a veteran, McCain is not owed an apology, but he does owe the veterans of this country an apology for voting to limit and deny veterans benefits that they have earned. And he’s made a career out of doing just that.
McCain is a slug...no question. But if Trump was truly unapologetic for the comment, he wouldn’t have back tracked. This might be nothing or this might have ended his campaign.
Again, we talk about image and low information voters, Trump just bashed military men and women, including McCain, in the minds of the voters.
We shall see how they react.
