Republican presidential candidate Donald Trumps criticism Saturday of fellow party member and Arizona Sen. John McCain for being captured during the Vietnam War brought sharp rebuke from others in the GOP field.
He was a war hero because he was captured, Trump said at the Family Leadership Summit, in Ames, Iowa. I like people who werent captured.
Most of the 14 other GOP candidates, including some at the summit, immediately criticized Trumps remarks.
Former Texas Gov. Rick Perry tweeted that McCain is an American hero and that all U.S. prisoners of war deserve our nation's highest debt of gratitude and that Trumps comments are disgraceful.

Thanks Jazzlite.
Exactly
Not a conservative
Not even a Krauthammer
You are quite welcome. I’ll go out on a limb here and say that I think Trump knows more about McCain than he is saying. He has people, ya know? I think McCain is a scumbag. I can’t wait to hear Mark Levin tomorrow about this subject. He detests McCain as well. And, for the record - McCain never once came to Sarah’s aide when she was being so viciously attacked. Not once!! So, in my book - he is a scumbag.
What bothered me the most about McCain not coming to her aide, she went right back out and endorsed the jackass to return to Washington, D. C.
I’m sorry, that’s not loyalty. That’s door mat territory.
He was a jerk and treated here terribly IMO.
It was no big deal to him, because if he had won the presidency, that would have been the end of her participation in his presidency IMO.
He planned on abusing her all along IMO.
