WASHINGTON — In a remarkable and lengthy rebuke of his party’s nominee, Senator John McCain sharply criticized Donald J. Trump’s comments about the family of a fallen Muslim Army captain, saying, “While our party has bestowed upon him the nomination, it is not accompanied by unfettered license to defame those who are the best among us.”
Mr. McCain, a war hero whose service and capture in Vietnam was also once derided by Mr. Trump, had stayed largely silent over the weekend as Mr. Trump’s feud with the parents of Capt. Humayun Khan brewed, waiting until Monday morning to release a prepared statement.
“In recent days, Donald Trump disparaged a fallen soldier’s parents,” he wrote of the parents, Khizr and Ghazala Khan. “He has suggested that the likes of their son should not be allowed in the United States — to say nothing of entering its service. I cannot emphasize enough how deeply I disagree with Mr. Trump’s statement. I hope Americans understand that the remarks do not represent the views of our Republican Party, its officers or candidates.”

This is why you were never president McCain, you dumbell
John McCain just, please shut up.
Thank you.
Trump did not disparage them, that is a fact.
Just when the story is dying down, McLame cranks it up again.
Out of touch and this guy is just plain stupid.
Have the RINOS done anything at all this election season besides bash their nominee?
The Uniparty strikes again.
Now we find out the dad is a Muslim Brotherhood open borders activist with ties to the Clinton (Crime) Foundation.
Shocker.
If they tried to get in under the exact same circumstances today, yes- I would be suspicious of them too.
Trump is right.
And that is why John McCain didnt win in 2008, a p*ssy that is what he is..ALL of these Republican scum coming out of the closet to bash Trump because they agree with Hillary Clintons agenda, its that simple..they dont want Trump to win because they agree with Hillary Clinton..on EVERYTHING..I tell you this, if Hillary Clinton wins because of these douche bags the Republican Party is dead to me, DEAD
“The likes of their son”... So then the son is defined as a muslim, regardless of country of origin.
I cannot support a party this stupid, and after Hillary and the dems called the Benghazi mother “insane”.
Always count on McCain to shoot our side in the back.
How is McCain doing in the polls? he needs to get primaried.
That ####. Go pose for ISIS again, PLEASE!! Offer yourself as a hostage!!
And Now for News headlines across the World:
TRUMP CALLS DEAD MUSLIM SOLDIER LOUSY SCUM OF THE EARTH AND CALLS THE MOTHER A PROSTITUTE WHO SHOULD BE IMPRISONED. HE ALSO SAID HE HATES EVERYONE THAT ISN’T WHITE AND HE MEANS IT
Back to your regular programming :)
If only it were complete jest.
That’s it McCain, get in there and support the speakers at the DNC who attacked Trump. Idiot.
You lost in 2008, and you're still a loser now...GO AWAY!
Hey Juan....where’s your friend Bagdaddi???? Why aren’t you over there visiting with him??? You kissed his butt all these years, why are you still in America???? We don’t want you here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! T R A I T O R!!!!
Be sure to thank McCain for his service when America becomes a destabilized muslim country.
McBlame is a closet Hillary fan. Actually he is part of the Republican Problem in the Senate/DC.
Respect his service, but since then I question his choices.
What we are witnessing this election cycle is the wholesale genocide of Strawmen.
Well, that seals it! Trump was right!
