“He’s a War Hero Because He Was Captured. I Like People That WEREN’T CAPTURED” – Trump
Yikes. Trump took a swipe at John McCain today in a way that is really upsetting a lot of people.

Some responses on Twitter:
Trump, asked if he'll apologize to McCain: "No."

I think John McCain is a RINO who needs to bow out of politics but I 100% Respect his Service to this country and Always will. #Trump

Trump apparently doesn’t understand that the conservative objection to McCain never included his military service. Moron.

Will be interesting to see whether Trump apologists contort themselves to defend his indefensible comments on McCain.

Asked Trump why, in context of McCain, he said he prefers soldiers who weren't captured. He didn't answer.

Plenty of things to disagree on with @SenJohnMcCain but that Trump comment was low low low. If I was McCain, I'd roll out on him for real.

Trump attacking McCain's war record gives other Rs what they've badly wanted: a zero-risk opportunity to whack the guy on fighting dirty

Why doesn't Trump make the legit criticism of McCain, that his career is a product of his father's status and inherited wealt…oh. Right.

This defense of his comments is actually pretty good considering…

I don’t really care much for McCain myself, but this seems like a low blow at his military service.
