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.
Unsurprising. Weasel.
Tell me, how did your faux outraged wife feel about your calling her a "stupid c*nt" in public?
Good! Establishment is not popular so no loss.
2008 was the last time I voted for him and that was only because he was on the same ticket as Palin. Don’t know if I can bring myself to vote for Ann Kirkpatrick though
What a lying punk!
Another endorsement for Trump
This after Trump supported him. McCain is disgusting.
So I guess he didn't vote for himself.
Primary is over I guess
No Shi’ite!! Trump is REALLY outing all the Pansies.
Do liberals hear the same words and interpret them differently??????-——
Yes, they do. AND they always do it with a filthy mindset. They will even eat their own young.
Me too. And both Bushes, and Romney. I want Trump to win for the country, but I so want to see the faces of the wretched excuses we have for leaders when Trump wins. Talk about “unfit to lead”, all they’re good for is prancing around events and cocktail parties. If I sound mad it’s because I’m beyond furious
Whackjob McLame was looking for an excuse but this one is weak, he’s a spineless turkey.
John McCain Won’t Vote for Trump——
That works. Most of America wouldn’t vote for John McCain, either!!
In fact, they didn’t lol!
So, who is HE to talk???
You never intended to Juan. This fake scandal is just providing you with an excuse to say it publicly, as if it's on principle.
Didn’t vote for this POS in 2008. Will gladly vote for Trump in 2016.
One guy loves the nation and the other guy pretends to.
McCain is the sleaziest “Republican” politician I’ve seen in my lifetime. He bucked Reagan, Bush, Bush... and chummed it up with Hillary.
He sided with Hillary and Obama to arm and finance the Muslim Brotherhood and al Qaeda. He was a part of the arming and financing of the Arab Spring.
He helped destabilize the entire North of Africa, Iraq, Turkey, the Kurds region in Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and Syria. He helped put us into a WWIII level danger threat in Syria.
This guy talks about Trump.
Any guy that armed and financed the enemies of our nation, used to called a traitor.
Today they’re called anti-Trump statesmen.
PFFFFTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT! FUJM. He wasn’t going to vote for him anyway. Why the hell do you people in Arizona continue to vote for this traitor?
I like what it says, but, who says it’s all they have left to shoot at Trump?
There is still many weeks to go and Dems and Repubs will keep trying to fulfill that comment I saw on another thread by a Dem campaign person - their plan is not just to beat Trump but to completely ruin his life, marriage, business etc.
They likely have more ammo.
My prayers are with Trump and Pence that God Himself will thwart their enemies and do unto them all they tried to do to Trump.
Locker room talk does is not remotely the same as abortion on demand and other such evil, selfish things Hillary and so many of Trumps attackers stand for
