Trump slimes John McCain over health care vote

President Trump took a thinly veiled swipe at cancer-stricken Sen. John McCain Friday during a speech at an annual gathering of conservatives — without mentioning him by name.

Trump, touting his tax reform bill that also killed the ObamaCare individual mandate that required people to buy health insurance, lamented the Affordable Health Care Act would have been repealed in its entirety if the 81-year-old Arizona Republican had not voted against repeal.

“We’re having tremendous plans coming out now, health care plans, at a fraction of the cost that are much better than ObamaCare. And except for one senator, who came into a room at 3:00 in the morning, and [voted] like that, we would have had health care too,” the president said to loud cheers at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Maryland.

“We would have had health care too. Think of that. People are getting great health care plans and we’re not finished yet. But, remember, one person walked into a room, when he was supposed to go this way, and he said he was going this way, and he walked in and he went [the other] way and everyone said, what happened? What was that all about?,” he continued.

“Boy, oh, boy, who was that? I don’t know. I don’t know. I don’t know. I don’t want to be controversial so I won’t use his name, okay? What a mess.

Before it’s over, we may find out that McCain had a prominent role in pushing the fake Trump dossier, as well. His legacy will be one of disgrace.

You would think.

Trump just told the truth, McPain lied to all of us in AZ and it wasn’t the 1st time.

BTW I haven’t voted for him in many years.
