Chip Franklin displayed the picture on Trump's favorite network 'in the off-chance the president’s watching.'
A Fox News segment went “off the rails” on Sunday when a guest held up a photo of Sen. John McCain , just in case President Donald Trump was watching.
Trump has made no secret of his disdain for McCain, and last month the White House asked the Navy to “minimize the visibility” of a U.S. warship named for the late Republican senator from Arizona so the president wouldn’t have to see it during a trip to Japan. The Navy confirmed to NBC News that it received the request, but said it did not act on it, and Trump insisted he had nothing to do with it.
“To me, John McCain — I wasn’t a fan,” Trump said outside the White House last week. “But I would never do a thing like that.” Trump chief of staff Mick Mulvaney said Sunday that it wasn't"unreasonable" to ask that the USS John S. McCain be hidden during Trump's Japan visit last week. Trump doesn't follow me, but I wanted him to see the hero he will never be. @realDonaldTrump #Resist pic.twitter.
— Chip Franklin June 2, 2019 “Chip, I’m trying to figure out why you’re putting John McCain’s face up,” anchor Leland Vittert asked. “In the off-chance the president’s watching,” Franklin said. “Real heroes out there, Pete Buttigieg, others that have served this country, just a thought.” John McCainJohn McCainJohn McCainJohn McCainJohn McCainLove HuffPost?
