Trump hits McCain for voting against Obamacare repeal just weeks after his death

President Trump attacked the late Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) at a campaign rally on Friday in Missouri for his vote last year against repealing the Affordable Care Act.

“We had it defeated, unfortunately we lost a certain vote, but we lost all the Democrat votes when you think,” he said.

McCain's was the deciding vote against the GOP’s push to overhaul former President Obama's signature health-care plan.

McCain, who famously broke with his party with his vote, died last month at the age of 81 after being diagnosed an aggressive form of brain cancer.

McCain and Trump traded harsh rhetoric since then-candidate Trump's time on the campaign trail.

Trump said McCain, who was tortured as a prisoner of war in Vietnam and who refused early release, was not a war hero because he was captured.

McCain frequently criticized the Trump administration’s policies and the president’s rhetoric.

Trump took aim at McCain for his vote in multiple campaign rallies while the senator was receiving treatment for cancer at his home in Arizona.

Petty jackass. He did, however, perfectly justify McCain's choice of eulogies. Bleacher Creature Sep 2018 #3
Would love for him to do that in Arizona. LiberalFighter Sep 2018 #4

This orange fuckstick with his mushroom head is a despicable piece of shit. Let's get the blue wave going (it's refreshing) and stop harping on Ancient Orange. Unless, of course, he strokes out — then we can celebrate.
