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mandate that required people to buy health insurance, lamented the Affordable Health Care Act would have been repealed in its entirety if the 81-year-old Arizona Republican had not voted against repeal.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.

This was as much a warning to incoming Romney as it was a slam at Mac.
McCain CANNOT be slimed enough for his repeated perfidy.
Why shouldn’t he, when McCain campaigned on repealing it?
Bush League Republicans like Romney do not care about anything but turning the USA into North Mexico.
Hmmm. I’m thinkin’ mclame is on auto slime anyway. He doesn’t need any help.
McSlime deserved it. He campaigned to repeal obamacare and to build the danged fence. He’s a liar.
Slimed? It’s 100% true that McCain campaigned on repealing Obamacare then refused to vote for the repeal when he had the chance. The only slime here is McCain.
And the sliming isn’t going to stop once he croaks. The son of a bitch.
how true, McCain gave the country the finger on his way out, very sad legacy.
It is impossible to slime Songbird McCain, the undocumented communist democrat Manchurian candidate in the Senate.
You speak truth!
Eggs actly. Sorry if that wasn’t clear.
“...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...”
That’s SLIMING McCain? It’s the frigging truth.
By the way, how do we know McCain’s even ALIVE? He hasn’t been seen in public since December, as far as I know.
McCain - the male Jane F’n Fonda.
Good for Trump. The swipe was deserved. The NY Post is trash.
What’s he supposed to do?
Not mention the vote?
McCain - the male Jane F’n Fonda.
Two scum bags, who have hated America for decades.
...cancer-stricken Sen. John McCain...
Gee, I guess that means we should be nice and give him what he wants. Where I work, if I’m “cancer stricken”, I bow out and someone more capable would take my place. McCain seems to be a narcissistic attention junkie. Power is a drug.
