Trump speaking:

“A week ago, I had thousands of people in Phoenix, Arizona, talking about the whole horrible situation with illegal immigration,” Trump said on Fox News. “We had thousands and thousands of people. And he called them ‘crazies.’ He insulted them. He should apologize to them, by the way. He insulted them, and then I insulted back.”

My question is why did McCain start this interaction with Trump? McCain started it by calling the American people “crazies?”  All Trump was doing by insulting him back by taking up for the American people.  Did he say this to start a war of words with Trump to reduce Trumps lead in the campaign stump?  Now McCain is going on all of the main street media stops and proclaiming Trump needs to apologize – hey, Senator you are the one who called the American people crazies.  Did the Elite Republicans set  you up to be the fall guy?

By the way why are you wasting all of this time instead of doing your job in Washington? That is exactly what is wrong with this country?

John McCain responds to Donald Trump: ‘I’m not a hero’

Sen. John McCain (R-Arizona) said Monday that real-estate developer Donald Trump should apologize for comments he made over the weekend — but not to him.  (You have to remember he was talking to you not all prisoners of war – you are trying to deflect the matter to win  a point.)

“I think he may owe an apology to the families of those who have sacrificed in conflict and those who have undergone the prison experience in serving our country,” McCain said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” (You are trying to deflect from the real subject, Sir.)

McCain was responding to Trump, a GOP presidential candidate who panned his war record over the weekend. Trump ignited a media firestorm by saying McCain was a war hero only because he was captured during the Vietnam War.

“He’s not a war hero,” Trump said Saturday while speaking at a forum in Iowa. “He is a war hero because he was captured. I like people that weren’t captured, OK? I hate to tell you … I believe, perhaps, he’s a war hero.”

Almost every Republican running for president quickly condemned Trump’s remarks and praised McCain as a true war hero. But McCain, whose fighter plane was shot down over Vietnam and who was held prisoner for more than five years, said the real heroes were some of his commanding officers.

“In the case of many of our veterans, when Mr. Trump said that he prefers to be with people who are not captured, well, the great honor of my life was to serve in the company of heroes,” McCain said. “I’m not a hero. But those who were my senior ranking officers … those that have inspired us to do things that we otherwise wouldn’t have been capable of doing, those are the people that I think he owes an apology to.”

Trump repeatedly refused to apologize and on Sunday argued that McCain began the feud by dismissing his supporters as “crazies.”

Repeat:

“A week ago, I had thousands of people in Phoenix, Arizona, talking about the whole horrible situation with illegal immigration,” Trump said on Fox News. “We had thousands and thousands of people. And he called them ‘crazies.’ He insulted them. He should apologize to them, by the way. He insulted them, and then I insulted back.”

So who started all of this flap – will let you be the judge!
