McCain urges Trump to apologise to US military families

Trump, meanwhile, levelled new criticism against the Arizona Republican and 2008 GOP presidential nominee, saying McCain had made America “less safe” through his votes in Congress.

The remarks, which came after days of back-and-forth between McCain and Trump, were met with scattered boos.

The op-ed comes shortly after the Republican candidate ignited a major controversy with his comments Saturday about Senator John McCain. I believe, perhaps, he’s a war hero. He reportedly said McCain, a former prisoner of war who was tortured during the Vietnam war, was “not a war hero”, and that “I like people that weren’t captured“. Now, he’s watching again as his father’s reputation as a war hero becomes an unlikely subject of debate in the 2016 campaign.

“I had student deferments, like many other people had, during the war or around the time of the war”.

“You know the Republican Party – of course I was one of their darlings when I was a contributor”, Trump said in an interview with The Associated Press. “I agree with what Senator McCain had to say”.

His conversation with Matt Lauer grew tense as Trump was questioned on why he would bring McCain’s military service into their disagreement. I used to like him a lot.

But Trump appeared to tone down his rhetoric a bit late 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”.

“Somehow to denigrate that in any way is offensive, I think, to most of our veterans”.

Iowa’s top newspaper is calling on Donald Trump to bow out of the presidential race.

Like Trump, McCarthy was a bully, who was only stopped when he was asked, at a hearing by a Joe Welch of Boston representing a Boston attorney of being a communist “have you no sense of decency?” “Trump has proven himself not only unfit to hold office, but unfit to stand on the same stage as his Republican opponents”, the Register said.

McCain says Trump should apologize to veterans for the statement, but Trump is standing by his statements.

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, who has a commanding lead in the early caucus state of Iowa, according to a Monmouth University poll also published Monday, placed second in the ABC/Post poll with 13 per cent.

“To correct Donald Trump“, McCain said, “it was fifth from the bottom, not the bottom”.
