Phoenix, AZ John McCain issued the following statement today withdrawing his support of Donald Trump:
In addition to my well known differences with Donald Trump on public policy issues, I have raised questions about his character after his comments on Prisoners of War, the Khan Gold Star family, Judge Curiel and earlier inappropriate comments about women. Just this week, he made outrageous statements about the innocent men in the Central Park Five case.
As I said yesterday, there are no excuses for Donald Trumps offensive and demeaning comments in the just released video; no woman should ever be victimized by this kind of inappropriate behavior. He alone bears the burden of his conduct and alone should suffer the consequences.
I have wanted to support the candidate our party nominated. He was not my choice, but as a past nominee, I thought it important I respect the fact that Donald Trump won a majority of the delegates by the rules our party set. I thought I owed his supporters that deference.
But Donald Trumps behavior this week, concluding with the disclosure of his demeaning comments about women and his boasts about sexual assaults, make it impossible to continue to offer even conditional support for his candidacy. Cindy, with her strong background in human rights and respect for women fully agrees with me in this.
Cindy and I will not vote for Donald Trump. I have never voted for a Democratic presidential candidate and we will not vote for Hillary Clinton. We will write in the name of some good conservative Republican who is qualified to be President.
Another one of Hillary’s Bitches.
The Cheap Labor Express Republicans have been looking for an excuse to dump on Trump.
McAmnesty, who is a Democrat in an R jersey, needs to be defeated, even if a Democrat in a D jersey replaces him.
And I will not vote for McCain!
This whole situation is just a media creation to try to make a mountain out of a molehill.
No FReeper should be doubting Trump from this in any form.
Stop having the vapors, people. You crazies are helping fan these flames of idiocy.
“Cindy and I will not vote for Donald Trump. I have never voted for a Democratic presidential candidate and we will not vote for Hillary Clinton. We will write in the name of some good conservative Republican who is qualified to be President.
Damn liar. You are voting for Illary all the way.
Absolutely, Trump has got nothing to lose now and you can bet he’s going to unleash hell on these mofos, nothing is off limits and he’s got an entire month, he’s going to expose them like an atomic bomb.
Coward is an understatement.
This SOB dumped his disabled wife to run off with the blonde bimbo with family money.
To his credit he (actually his home wrecking wife) is still paying for her medical expenses after the accident she had while out working for those missing in action and prisoners of war.
He should’ve stayed in Viet Nam. He and John Kerry. Both pieces of you know what.
Just what I always thought.
Good post 2DV
So I guess McCain won’t vote for himself either.
Thanks to FReeper Bobalu for that graphic!
Who cares what the POS McCain does?
Whom he would later ally with.
McCain has always been a jackass..like he was ever going to vote for Trump to begin with..yeah LOL McCain is going to go vote for a “Good Conservative” meaning while Juan..Jeb Bush LOL
John McCain pulling his endorsement makes me want to illegally vote 5 times for Trump.
