Trump Attacks McCain: ‘I like people who weren’t captured’

July 18, 2015

Speaking in Ames, IA at the Family Leadership Summit Donald Trump took his feud with Sen. John McCain to a new low, saying:

“He was a war hero because he was captured, I like people who weren’t captured.”

The disgraceful comment was met with scattered boos and now has begun a firestorm.

Sen. John McCain was a Navy pilot shot down over Vietnam and spent five and a half years in the infamous Hanoi Hilton.  He famously refused to be released when his captors found out he was an officer’s son.

This spat began when McCain suggested that Trump’s candidacy was riling up “the crazies.” Now, Trump is proving him right and losing a tremendous amount of support.

His 2016 opponents are also piling on. Here are some of what has been said by his opponents.

When asked if he’d apologize, Trump said “no.”

Here is an interrogation video from McCain in Vietnam:
