Trump Ignores McCain at GOP Event

President Trump “ignored Sen. John McCain during his only public remarks Friday, declining to say anything about the former prisoner of war and 35-year veteran of Congress who has decided to end his treatment for terminal brain cancer,” NBC News reports.

“Trump’s silence about his fellow Republican — a frequent critic who the president often mocks at his campaign rallies — stood in jarring contrast to a bipartisan national outpouring of esteem Friday afternoon for McCain, who endured torture after his Navy plane was shot down in Vietnam and who launched a political career that saw him rise to win the Republican presidential nomination in 2008, after his family announced he had opted to stop being treated for cancer.”
