Republican senator slams Trump for McCain criticism

Republican senator slams Trump for McCain criticism

Sen. Johnny Isakson, a Georgia Republican, will denounce President Trump's criticism of the late Sen. John McCain in a radio interview Wednesday afternoon.

"I just want to lay it on the line, that the country deserves better, the McCain family deserves better, I don't care if he's president of the United States, owns all the real estate in New York, or is building the greatest immigration system in the world," Isakson said about Mr. Trump in an interview with the website The Bulwark on Tuesday evening. "Nothing is more important than the integrity of the country and those who fought and risked their lives for all of us."

Mr. Trump has mocked McCain's time as a prisoner of war in Vietnam and repeatedly slammed him for his vote against repealing and replacing the Affordable Care Act in July 2017. McCain, perhaps the last lion of the Senate, died of brain cancer in August.

It would be a good revenge from old McCain if this was the one thing that turned even a few Republican senators against the turd. I mean Trump.
