McCain: Trump owes apology to veterans, not to him

In Vietnam, Galanti was captured and interred for over six years, a time that included a stay at the “Hanoi Hilton”, where McCain had been imprisoned.

This weekend, though, he went off the proverbial “deep end”, wasting any legitimacy his campaign had on a quip about, of all people, John McCain.

And for that, King said, Trump owes McCain “a full apology”.

The television personality and Republican presidential candidate does not owe him an apology personally, the Arizona senator and retired Navy captain noted, according to USA Today, but Trump should not have denigrated the memory of others who fell into enemy hands in Vietnam and other conflicts. The Republican plan to use his remarks about McCain to rid themselves of Donald Trump could be backfiring.

Sen McCain irked Mr Trump last week when he said his speech at a Phoenix rally against immigrants had “fired up the crazies”.

“I think the point here is that there’s so many men and some women who served and sacrificed and happened to be held prisoner”, McCain said in the interview. The Post might have been able to get away stating that Trump “implied” McCain was not a war hero because McCain was captured, but even that would have been a subjective interpretation since Trump had actually stated the opposite.

I do not need “to be lectured by any of them”, he wrote.

The poll found real estate tycoon Donald Trump received the second most support with 13 percent. “But we don’t talk about people who weren’t captured, and that’s what I was trying to refer to”. There’s certain things you just don’t do.

“I’m not going to shut somebody down”, Moon told The Detroit News.

The 78-year-old decorated aviator was shot down, captured, tortured and spent five years in prison camp during the Vietnam war.

A University of Nebraska-Omaha political science professor says Republican Donald Trump is getting a lesson in presidential politics.

But his brash style is also part of the reason he has risen in the polls, bring him near the top of a very crowded Republican field.

Speaking by phone Monday on NBC’s Today, Trump reiterated to host Matt Lauer that he’s “not a fan of John McCain“, asserting that “he’s done a bad job for the vets”. “That stands up, I think, against all criticism”, King told KSCJ Radio. Many also believe that the reality television star is not a serious candidate and is merely using this platform to push his agenda.
