They actually NEED excuses?
When President Trump says things like McCain is complicit in the bogus “collusion” claims against McCain, McCain’s vote saved Obamacare in spite of promises he made, McCain left the disabled wife who waited for him while he was in VN for a younger, rich heiress and McCain armed and supported terrorists in Syria, it can’t be refuted. But when President Trump says McCain is an evil traitor (or something to that effect), it gives the maniacs an opening to bring up the “war hero” stuff. It’s a debating technique, to not open that door to a defense.
