On Wednesday, Cindy McCain publicly spoke about President Donald Trump’s past remarks about her late husband, John McCain, reports Fox News.
A Look at Cindy McCain’s Interview
The recently widowed Mrs. McCain covered several points in her interview with BBC. First, she noted that the president’s statements about her late husband were unkind to military veterans.
“I think that was a wrong thing to say, and I don’t know if I’ll ever get over it. But I’m the wife, that’s my prerogative.”
McCain’s comments pertain to 2015 remarks which Trump made regarding John McCain. In essence, the then-future president expressed his preference for war heroes who managed to avoid enemy capture.
“He’s a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren’t captured.”
The foregoing statements prompted widespread censure from Americans on both sides of the aisle.
The Funeral of John McCain
In another segment of the BBC interview, Cindy McCain also addressed existing perceptions that John McCain’s funeral served as a rebuff to President Trump.
