McCain Says Derogatory Comments Hurting GOP

Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) told CNN that the Republican presidential candidates who use — or don’t correct — those who use derogatory language are hurting the GOP’s chances at the White House.

Said McCain: “I think we are hurting ourselves and our chances to win the general election. If we disparage each other and impugn character of each other, then after the primary is over then obviously there’s a trust and support deficit among the American people.”
