Republican senator says Trump will get a major ‘whipping’ after McCain attacks: ‘The country deserves better’
The Republican chairman of the Senate Veteran Affairs Committee was slated to deliver a major rebuke of Donald Trump after his repeated attacks against the late war hero and former Senator John McCain.
Mr Isakson, who has previously described Mr Trump’s attacks against Mr McCain as “unthinkable,” told the journalist he wanted to “elevate John” with a speech scheduled on Wednesday. While other Republicans have spoken out against Mr Trump’s tweets towards Mr McCain, their comments have also remained almost exclusively on the social media platform, rather than in public condemnations like the one Mr Isakson has prepared for Wednesday.
Senator Mitt Romney echoed those praises, writing on Tuesday, “I can’t understand why the President would, once again, disparage a man as exemplary as my friend John McCain: heroic, courageous, patriotic, honourable, self-effacing, self-sacrificing, empathetic, and driven by duty to family, country, and God.”
