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 Trump’s 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 Trump’s 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.”
“Can I cancel my vote for McCain in the 2008 Presidential election?”
It turns my stomach to think how much I contributed to this neocon fecal smear. In truth though, I was hoping he would die a few hours after inauguration so that we would have the first real American president since that black day on January 20, 1989.
haha. The ball less politicians that got us into this position in the first place are just doing what they’ve ALWAYS done—being spineless, in effective, cowards cowing to the libs/Dems, and the main stream media (otherwise known as the Democratic Party Media arm and Propaganda disseminators.)
No surprise John - we know that all along. Hillary in the White House will make John happy.
You have a LOT of company, brother.
To hell with McCain. He is a communists Democrat and always has been. Fooled much of America but many of us knew who he was. He lies so much that it can be confusing.
Trump for President.
You think we could run him for a National Assembly seat in Hanoi? I know he's popular there, but I'm worried they'd think he's too pro China.
Need to create the “American First Party” around the core issues of this election.
Coward? Yes, most definitely. Enemy of the state? Absolutely. Traitor? Most clearly. There is a statue in Hanoi celebrating McCain’s support for Ho Chi Min during his stay with the North Vietnamese.
McCain can drop dead.
He sure as hell is no “war here.”
He got shot down because he disobeyed orders and flew below the ceiling.
The other guys in his squadron flew above the ceiling, as ordered, and were NOT shot down.
Phony twerp.
He lost by 10 million votes to Barack Obama, a nobody. He told us we have nothing to fear. His opinion is meaningless.
He loves Hillary. He drinks with her, he may even grab her nasty...but I don’t want to get banned here.
In response, Mr. Trump should give McCain a chance to come clean on the Forrestal disaster and why VietNam vets in the know refer to him as ‘Songbird’.
Give him 24 hours. If not, spill the beans. All of them.
McCain was no ‘hero’, did not serve honorably, and prevented other POW’s from getting released. And flies a plane like a drunken soldier.
Tell the story, Mr. Trump.
He missed the third wire and flew off the deck and crashed into the Crazy Ocean.
“Is it too late to give McCain back to the NVA?”
Yes, but it’s not too late to try him for terrorism and war crimes in Syria.
....from the spineless one who was scared to say
“Hussein”....
I should have wrote in Fred Thompson in 2008.
Comrade Juan McNuts will be more comfortable voting for the rapist enabling lying corrupt criminal.
Make that no “war hero.”
