Trump Just Sent Sickening Tweet Slamming the Late John McCain and Twitter is Disgusted
Donald Trump lashed out at John McCain on Twitter Saturday, criticizing the late Senator for his vote against a repeal of Obamacare’s individual mandate.
Trump quoted a comment from former independent counsel Ken Starr, who spoke on Fox News about reports that a McCain associate passed the Steele dossier on Trump to media outlets.
Starr called McCain an “American hero,” but said if the reports are true, it is “unfortunately a very dark stain” on the Arizona Republican who died last year.
In Trump’s tweet, he added that McCain “had far worse ‘stains’ than this, including thumbs down on repeal and replace after years of campaigning to repeal and replace!”
Spreading the fake and totally discredited Dossier “is unfortunately a very dark stain against John McCain.” Ken Starr, Former Independent Counsel. He had far worse “stains” than this, including thumbs down on repeal and replace after years of campaigning to repeal and replace!

The president has harsher language for a dead war hero than he does for dictator Kim Jong Un. https://t.co/7JlPG1efvy

And you dare to talk about stains?
Keep in mind that you are the world's darkest stain right now.
Even more so when you retweet an attack to a dead man that was a hundred times a better person than you are.
You are nauseously sick. https://t.co/Rrk5P72N4c

John McCain did exactly what he should’ve done with the dossier. That’s what any true patriot would’ve done.
I didn’t agree much with John McCain politically, but I respect his service to the country. He is respected and missed. Can’t say the same for you when you’re gone.— Lori (@LoHoFran) March 16, 2019
I am at loss for words regarding this tweet. Attacking a dead war hero, a man who dedicated his life to the service of his country in war and in the US Senate. Just when we think that you can't sink any lower you manage to surprise us.
