Sen. John McCain has been dead for more than eight months, but President Donald Trump’s feud with him appears far from over.
Trump, who was famously asked by McCain’s family to not attend the senator’s funeral, ripped McCain during his tweetstorm over the weekend, quoting Clinton-era independent counsel Kenneth Starr that McCain’s spreading of the Steele Dossier in late 2016 was “a very dark stain” against McCain’s legacy. Trump also criticized the late McCain for voting against a health care repeal measure in 2017.
The president attacked McCain again Tuesday, during a White House press availability along with Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, when a reporter asked Trump why he is attacking McCain.
“I’m very unhappy that he didn’t repeal and replace Obamacare,” Trump said at the White House, per ABC News.
