McCain has made America less safe

The op-ed comes as Trump is on the defensive for dismissing McCain’s reputation as a war hero because McCain was captured in Vietnam and, “I like people who weren’t captured“.

Donald Trump owes veterans an apology for suggesting American prisoners-of-war may not qualify as heroes, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said Monday.

“But I think he may owe an apology to the families of those who have sacrificed in conflict and those who have undergone the prison experience in serving their country”, McCain added. I like people that weren’t captured, ok?

McCain was captured during the war when his plane was shot down during a combat mission.

“We will take this country back for our values”, Cruz declared during his appearance on stage, earning an immediate standing ovation from the crowd – and then Cruz got out of his chair on stage and stood to applaud, too.

Trump told the Today Show that the media (including Lauer’s colleague Savannah Guthrie) was grossly misrepresenting his remarks-and also McCain has “done a terrible job for the vets”.

Trump didn’t serve in the Vietnam War after receiving four student deferments and an additional medical deferment after graduating from the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School in 1968.

McCain said Trump’s remarks were “totally inappropriate”. His attack on veterans make him unfit to be Commander-in-Chief of the U.S. Armed Forces, and he should immediately withdraw from the race for President.

Trump pressed ahead Sunday with his critical remarks on McCain, who had no comment.

“What I do have problems with is he called 15,000 people that showed up for me to speak in Phoenix, he called them crazies because they want to stop illegal immigration.” he said. I said it on the stage. “Mr. Trump owes Senator McCain and all veterans an apology”, said Retired Navy Vice Adm. Norb Ryan, president and CEO of Military Officers Association of America.

“Trump’s asinine comments about Sen”.

“I don’t understand why somebody would say that and I’ve spent a lot of time with the POWs over the last three years and these guys are heroes”, he said.

Many GOP candidates were slow in their response to Trump’s comments as they searched for a way to reach out to Hispanics without alienating traditional GOP voters. John McCain despite the firestorm they touched off among fellow Republicans, and he said he does not plan to drop out of the presidential race.

“Early in his campaign, when he said something outrageous, people kind of said, ‘Just ignore it and move on; it will go away, ‘” Sen.
