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.”

Juan, you old geezer...put a sock in it.
That isn’t the original statement that started the whole mess. Trump said something about Khan’s wife not being allowed to speak (muslim woman).
It was stupid of Trump and he doubled down on stupid when he compared building his business to their sacrifice(Khan brought up sacrfice).
Trump has to stop making unforced errors and engage his brain before his mouth. Same for his tweets.
If he keeps alienating people with insults and name calling he’s going to blow an election against the (arguably)worst dem candidate ever. At least she’s the most transparently corrupt.
The hell with the RINOS. What about ALL Congressional and Senate Republicans? By and large, their silence has been deafening!
McQueeg’s daughter, the pleasingly plump Meghan McCain was bad mouthing Trump this morning on Fox News show “Outnumbered”.
Shut up, John.
......He's Juan McStain, the most INSIGNIFICANT man in the world........
FUJM
“He has suggested that the likes of their son should not be allowed in the United States” (McCain)
BS
STFU, McCain, you traitor trash POS.
Why doesn’t Johhny McStain ever denounce himself?
May he lose and spend a retirement contemplating his arrogance.
yes
MEANWHILE, Paul Ryan AND Mitch McConnell have joined McCain in jumping on the Dem-contrived grenade in hope undermining Trump.
I hope voters in AZ and WI of the upcoming election note that PAUL RYAN and JOHN McCAIN are both supporting Khan, this radical Muzzie Immigration Lawyer (who supports the Muslim Brotherhood) OVER DONALD TRUMP!
Shut up McLame! That’s part of the reason you lost in 08 because you got on your self-righteous throne proclaiming you would not run a dirty campaign and we see how that worked out. I hope you get defeated so we won’t have to look or listen to you again!!!
McCain is the one who stood against Michelle Bachmann and others In Congress who were opposing the Muslim Brotherhood “coup” happening in our Government offices.
What we’re seeing now with so many muslims in official positions in Homeland Security and otherwise...is the continuation of ushering in as many Muslims who want to come here under another Clinton Administration.....and to guarantee Hillary wins this election.
It’s not just the Republican Party alone...it’s most of the entire Congressional House and Senate in bed with the Global World Order ...where Trump is a Nationalist and seen as the only one that they don’t have leverage sufficient to stop...so they’re going after all the minority groups and pitting Trump against those groups “On purpose”.
Anything he says about minorities good or bad is going to be blown up by the media.
It’s one nasty thick and deceptive election.....there are no referees....no rules...and it’s going to get worse.
I just hope that Trump sticks with this all the way...he’s going to have ‘the world’s’ elites tackling him as well, and their media.....I hope he and his family have shoulders to carry what they will have to bare....and pray that God will help them do so....
