'You mean Senator McCain?'

Think North Korea and Charlottesville have made President Trump forget about that “no” vote Sen. John McCain cast July 28 on the ObamaCare “skinny repeal” amendment?

Think again.

From all indications at Trump’s Tuesday press conference at Trump Tower in New York City, the Arizona Republican’s vote remains very much on the president’s mind.

In fact, it came up when a reporter asked Trump about McCain’s defense of H.R. McMaster, the national security adviser who has been targeted with criticism from alt-right activists, the Arizona Republic reported.

“Senator McCain? You mean the one who voted against ObamaCare?” the president responded. “You mean Senator McCain who voted against us getting good health care?”

Trump even brought up McCain’s name a second time, the newspaper reported, when the president was asked if his infrastructure plan would advance -- unlike stalled agenda items such as health care reform.

“We came very close with health care,” the president said. “Unfortunately, John McCain decided to vote against it at the last minute. You'll have to ask John McCain why he did that."

John McCain is not a hero, is not a very good senator, and is a very good RINO.

McCain is being publicized by the President for the RINO he is!

McCain, McConnell, Pelosi, Schumer, more dumbocrats, and more republicans...perfect examples of why we need term limits!

Did you see where McCain, Biden, CIA, state dept., and others used neo-nazis and other tactics against the president in Ukraine? 2014 I think was the year.
