Trump mocks McCain at Nevada rally
The Hill ^ | June 24, 2018 | Emily Birnbaum

Posted on 06/23/2018 9:05:45 PM PDT by Trump20162020

President Trump again mocked Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) on Saturday for McCain’s thumbs-down vote on the Republican plan to repeal ObamaCare.

Though Trump did not mention McCain by name, he has attacked the senator several times in recent weeks for his “no” on the GOP measure and has blamed McCain for the collapse of the Republican effort to repeal the act.

Trump at a GOP rally in Nevada said McCain went thumbs-down on the bill, a reference to McCain using the gesture to signify his vote.

"Nobody talked to him. Nobody needed to, and then he walked in: thumbs-down. It’s alright, because we’ve essentially gutted it anyway," Trump said of ObamaCare at the rally.

That was not mockery
It was straight out criticism of McCains legislative sabotage
Fact

Meghan McCain says you can’t mention her dad because he is dying.

That should apply double, once he's really gone.

I realize President Trump is sort of endorsing Heller but I refuse to vote for him. I’ll vote none of the above there.

Thus you refuse to help our President when he could use help.

Remember, principles have no place in the voting booth. Voting is tactical. You hold your nose and do it!

The act of voting is simply to choose the least evil outcome. Heller may be a filthy RINO ass, but he's still better than the 'Rat.

The evil man outright lied to his voters. This was the central promise of McCain’s 2014 campaign. If he had been honest that he supported ObamaCare,, he would have lost in the primary.

He broke that promise with his last major vote in the Senate. McCain mocked the voters of Arizona. He mocks them every day that he draws a paycheck for a job he can’t do but refuses to relinquish.

He doesn’t get a free pass from criticism, just because he has a brain tumor.

It’s not mockery it’s reality.

Exactly. I read the article, and all I could find was President Trump accurately describing No Name's treachery.

I’m beginning to think McCain isn’t really sick. He’s just faking it for cover cause he wants to avoid the dossier fallout.

Interesting parallel of a previous Q post from 29 October:

Follow the money, it’s the key.
What is Pelosi’s net worth by way of one example. Why coincidentally is her memory apparently going?
Cover for possible future indictment to plead what?
What if John M never had surgery and that was a cover for a future out if needed against prosecution?

And again, an early Q post from 31 Oct:

Why did Mueller meet POTUS 1-day prior to FBI announcement if Mueller COULD NOT be offered director due to prev term limits rule? 
Why is Pelosi begging for a new special counsel? 
What is Pelosi’s net worth?
How was this obtained given salary as career official?
Why is Pelosi’s memory going?
Could it protect against prosecution?
How so?
What if John M’s surgery was fake?
Why would this occur?
What could this prevent potentially?
What is the Mayo Clinic?
Who sits on the BOD there?

Longest living glioblastoma survivor I have ever known. My dad was dead in 4 months. God has reasons, but are you kidding me?

Thank you. I have been saying McCain was way past his expiration date here for awhile now.

His alleged cancer is his free pass to continue his treason with minimal negative comments about it. Faker.

Um NO. Heller was a stock broker. Not a Dr. He is a Navy Vet.

There hasn't been a comparable death bed marathon since Generalissimo Francisco Franco.

Trump mocks McCain at Nevada rally

It is truly a miracle from God that President Trump felt the calling to step forward.

Just reflecting...

McCain is a Senator worthy of mocking if not outright criticism. He ordered the IRS to harass the Tea Party. He voted FOR Obamacare. Mocking? McCain deserves worse.

So an “attack” on McCain is now mentioning McCain’s voting record? Are you kidding me?
