John McCain Denounces Donald Trump’s Comments on Family of Muslim Soldier
New York Slimes ^ | AUG. 1, 2016 | JENNIFER STEINHAUER

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.”

I have a great idea, since we can’t disagree with him, let’s just make Mr. Kahn president.

John McCain Denounces Donald Trump’s Comments on Family of Muslim Soldier

And once again, John McCain comes out of the woodwork to once again cause damage to his party and his party's nominee.

I hope to God Arizona retires that fool. I've had enough of him and his family. Shut up and go away John!

What exactly did Trump say? The news is full of peacocks like McCain stampeding to a microphone to denounce Trump. but short on the actual quote.

So here is the actual Trump statement as quoted way down in the article:

“This story is not about Mr. Khan, who is all over the place doing interviews, but rather RADICAL ISLAMIC TERRORISM and the U.S.,” he wrote. “Get smart!”

And the problem with that is?

I really wish Trump would tweet about the fact check done on the Republican mom from Bengazi by the DNC and no fact check done on the Khan man con man Muzlim Mo’bro’hood dad on this.

We may be pleasantly surprised in a day or two when the Kahnman's Muslim Brotherhood and other anti-American affiliations and activities begin to permeate the news....and Brother Rat McCain find himself with egg on his face from premature oral ejaculations condemning Trump.

Leave it to McLame to defend a Muslim Brotherhood activist who has a record of promoting Sharia Law, which is unconstitutional. No need to add to the comments above this same muzzie is on the dole from the Clinton Foundation. What a jerk.
