McCain Gets Testy About Trump’s Latest Tweet: I Won’t Respond To Every Stupid Thing That Guy Says [VIDEO]

CNN reports:



Republican Sen. John McCain said he’s still done with questions about President-elect Donald Trump. McCain, the 2008 Republican presidential nominee, was asked by CNN’s Manu Raju about Trump’s tweet about flag burning. “I have not been commenting on Mr. Trump and I will continue not to comment on Mr. Trump,” McCain told Raju. On Tuesday, Trump proposed a penalty — including possible jail time or loss of citizenship — for burning the American flag.

“I do not comment on Mr. Trump’s comments. I am not and will not,” he said. “Because that’s my choice … I was just reelected by the people of Arizona and during that campaign, I did not comment on Mr. Trump, I will continue to not because I have to defend this nation. I’m the chairman of the Armed Services Committee. We have all kinds of challenges. My time is devoted to trying to make sure this nation is secure. Not to comment on every comment of Mr. Trump’s.”
