Yeah. He may be able to walk it back.
Putting it in the context of what McCain said in Phoenix - utterly normal for him to spit on ordinary Arizonans who are patriotic - does help.
People have gotten used to McCain’s sneering at anyone who wants the border controlled. It should be thrown in his face every time he shows it.
Two words: Bob Krentz
Frankly I don’t think he owes a walk back for McCain’s sake. He probably wants to clarify for the sake of other veterans.
One of the things I like about Donald Trump is that he is willing to talk off the top of his comb-over. He walked back the statement on McCain right after he said it. But the MSM picked up on it and jumped all over it, like it was the most important statement ever made.
Trump is going to say a lot of stupid things over the course of the campaign. I think it is to his credit that he does not have every statement run by some committee to see if it will play well.
He is the Anti-Candidate Candidate.
In that sense it is refreshing to see him out there making the MSM go insane.
That being said, McCain is an ass.
Yes, I’m still waiting for the $50 an hour McCommunist said no American would take to pick lettuce.
His office is full of the most disrespectful trolls I’ve ever talked to. Ten to fifteen years ago, they would argue with me about why all of Southern Arizona’s ERs were shutting, why we should allow open borders, etc.
Gateway Pundit has the entire video which puts his statement in context.
As for McCain, as an Arizonan, no use for the man whatsoever. What his war record means to him is re-election, and it gets used every time.
He ran last term on the promise of securing our southern border. He’s not done one thing in that regard, and people like Bob Krentz paid for his blatant disregard for the people of Arizona.
AFAIC, Trump doesn’t have to walk anything back. McCain, though, should answer for his repeated insults to his own constituency!
And in case no one knew, Senator McCain received $51K in the first quarter of 2015 for his yes vote on the trade agreement.
