Phoenix, AZ John McCain issued the following statement today withdrawing his support of Donald Trump:
In addition to my well known differences with Donald Trump on public policy issues, I have raised questions about his character after his comments on Prisoners of War, the Khan Gold Star family, Judge Curiel and earlier inappropriate comments about women. Just this week, he made outrageous statements about the innocent men in the Central Park Five case.
As I said yesterday, there are no excuses for Donald Trumps offensive and demeaning comments in the just released video; no woman should ever be victimized by this kind of inappropriate behavior. He alone bears the burden of his conduct and alone should suffer the consequences.
I have wanted to support the candidate our party nominated. He was not my choice, but as a past nominee, I thought it important I respect the fact that Donald Trump won a majority of the delegates by the rules our party set. I thought I owed his supporters that deference.
But Donald Trumps behavior this week, concluding with the disclosure of his demeaning comments about women and his boasts about sexual assaults, make it impossible to continue to offer even conditional support for his candidacy. Cindy, with her strong background in human rights and respect for women fully agrees with me in this.
Cindy and I will not vote for Donald Trump. I have never voted for a Democratic presidential candidate and we will not vote for Hillary Clinton. We will write in the name of some good conservative Republican who is qualified to be President.
Chicken.
Thank you Arizona so much for keeping this POS around for another 6 years.
[Cindy and I will not vote for Donald Trump. I have never voted for a Democratic presidential candidate and we will not vote for Hillary Clinton. We will write in the name of some good conservative Republican who is qualified to be President.]
Yeah, I bet you won’t vote for Hillary.
I give you the multimillionaire political elite class.
Can I cancel my vote for McCain in the 2008 Presidential election?
Keating 5, Juan, Keating 5.
I wouldn’t vote for an ISIS supporter. Let Juan retire this year.
Did we hear the same tape??? Where did Trump boast about sexual assaults???? Do liberals hear the same words and interpret them differently??????
Arizona! You need to get rid of this man.
If Kirkpatrick doesn't beat him, Arizonians need to vote Democrat in November.
Why vote RINO when you can vote for a real Democrat
he was never voting Trump. the only people revoking were never with him to begin with
BTTT!!
Coward. Should have served time for the Keating 5
I didn’t vote for McCain, he’s a democrat.
Is it too late to give McCain back to the NVA?
Republicans and democrats are equally afraid of Trump. Scared to death that the people will know how they have been played for the past umpteenth years. God speed Mr. Trump.
STFU McSlime! Why Aren’t You Gone You Washed Up old Fart!!!
You have my full support.
