‘I Was Never a Fan of John McCain and I Never Will Be’
An angry President Donald Trump just revealed why he recently has been again attacking the late Republican Senator John McCain, a war hero who served in both the House and the Senate for 35 years.
“I was never a fan of John McCain and I never will be,” President Trump told reporters in the Oval Office during a joint press availability with the President of Brazil, far right extremist Jair Bolsonaro. It’s likely Trump’s remarks will be published internationally.
“I’m very unhappy that he didn’t repeal and replace ObamaCare,” Trump told reporters when asked why he continues to posthumously attack the late Senator from Arizona, who died of brain cancer last summer.
“It got to a vote and he said, ‘thumbs down,’ and our country would have saved a trillion dollars and we would have had great health care,” Trump added, which is false.
McCain did not say, “thumbs, down,” but he famously made the thumbs down sign as he announced his vote on a failed ObamaCare repeal bill that would have stolen health care coverage from millions of Americans.
During Trump’s now-infamous weekend of rage-tweeting he attacked McCain viciously, including in this tweet, which is false:
Here’s Sen. McCain, one year before he passed away, destroying Republicans’ hopes of repealing ObamaCare and replacing it with a dangerous bill that would have harmed many.
