19. The USS John S. McCain is named after 3 American Military heroes

May 2019

Senator McCain's father & grandfather were admirals. President Half Day insulted all three, everyone serving onboard today, and everyone who's ever served onboard that ship.

And the families of the 10 sailors who died (on Trump's watch, I might add) in 2017 have been gutted once again.

It matters.
