Arizona Sen. John McCain insists his vote against a GOP plan to repeal ObamaCare is not payback for Donald Trump demeaning the former POW’s heroism during the Vietnam War when the president remarked, “I like people who weren’t captured.”
“If I took offense at everybody who has said something about me, or disparaged me or something like that — life is too short. You’ve got to move on,” McCain, a Navy pilot who spent more than five years in a North Vietnamese prison, told CBS’s “60 Minutes” in an interviewed that aired Sunday.
“And on an issue of this importance to the nation, for me to worry about a personal relationship, then I’m not doing my job,” the senator added. see also McCain deals potential death blow to GOP health bill McCain deals potential death blow to GOP health bill
McCain, the Republican presidential nominee in 2008, said the president has never apologized to him for making the caustic comments in July 2015, a gesture that would help repair the ongoing feud between the two.
But McCain said they are ”different people,” with a “different upbringing” and “different life experiences.”
“He is in the business of making money and he has been successful both in television as well as Miss America and others,” McCain said in the interview that aired on Sunday. “I was raised in a military family. I was raised in the concept and belief that duty, honor, country is the — is the lodestar for the behavior that we have to exhibit every single day.”
“I don’t know what he’s going to do tomorrow … or say tomorrow,” he said of Trump. “He changes his statements almost on a daily basis. So for me to spend my time trying to analyze what he says, I don’t know.”

Well, John, YOU’ve not yet apologized to American citizens you’ve continued to fleece these many years. YOU, go first!
McCain and the other brain dead morons in Congress haven’t apologized to Americans for causing our insurance rates to go through the roof.
McStain disobeyed orders and flew below the ceiling....he got shot down.
The other men in his squadron obeyed orders; they flew ABOVE the ceiling, and were NOT shot down.
And what about all the valuable intel McCain told his North Vietnamese captors about America’s tactics? Charlie didn’t call McCain “songbird” for no reason.
>>F* ck you McNuts! My father was a POW in WWII and you wouldn’t make a pimple on his ass! You’re a worthless piece of shit!
Thank you for telling it like it truly is, and prayers up for your father.
I agree with your comments about Senator John McCain. He did come back alive from his dangerous duty. So many other unsung soldiers did not.
>>His brain tumor owes us an apology for not being aggressive enough.
