I hear *crickets*
For the media to ask such a question, wouldn’t they first have to think such a statement of McCain to be controversial?
LMAO....really????
Frank Luntz Explains Why Donald Trump Got A Standing Ovation For McCain POW Comments

We already know all those attacking Trump agree with McCain.
The cheap labor importers have outed themselves.
If Trump does nothing else, he’s done that.
I guess McCain acted further on that belief and apparently asked the IRS to target tea party groups with investigation.
What should we call McCain for what he did to POWs?

Finally, in addition to these hurdles and limitations, the McCain act does not specifically order the declassification of the information. Further, it provides the Defense Department with other justifications for withholding documents. One such clause says that if the information “may compromise the safety of any United States personnel … who remain not accounted for but who may still be alive in captivity, then the Secretary [of Defense] may withhold that record or other information from the disclosure otherwise required by this section.”
Boiled down, the preceding paragraph means that the Defense Department is not obligated to tell the public about prisoners believed alive in captivity and what efforts are being made to rescue them. It only has to notify the White House and the intelligence committees in the Senate and House. The committees are forbidden under law from releasing such information.
McCain goes further to hurt future POWs...
Another bill gutted in 1996And then there is the Missing Service Personnel Act, which McCain succeeded in gutting in 1996. A year before, the act had been strengthened, with bipartisan support, to compel the Pentagon to deploy more resources with greater speed to locate and rescue missing men. The measure imposed strict reporting requirements.
McCain amended the heart out of the statute. For example, the 1995 version required a unit commander to report to his theater commander within two days that a person was missing and describe what rescue and recovery efforts were underway. The McCain amendments allowed 10 days to pass before a report had to be made.

I do not agree with anything John McCain, D-AZ has to say!
I look at McCain as one sick puppy who never sees a potential war he doesn't love. It's like on some level he wants others to share the POW experience.
JMHO
Yup. Self deluded dupes who are deliberately ignoring Trumps long history of being a liberal. He’s lying to you people, stop feeding the ego.
Yep, he is a maverick alright.

Another name is coyote bait.
McRino is the crazy one.
I don’t recall the last time I heard a candidate defend his or her supporters like Donald Trump has.
To McCain: Those who live in glass houses, should not throw stones.
McCain’s the most deceitful, destructive, intolerant, insulting and mean old cuss Republican in the Congress (next to his girlfriend, Lindsay).
He finally got his glass house damaged. And it should happen until he’s standing in glass shards.
