Trump Mocks Late Sen. John McCain's War Injuries, Draws Ire from Daughter Meghan

Trump's Comments Spark Controversy, as He Continues to Lead in Republican Primary Race

Former President Donald Trump mocked the late Senator John McCain's war injuries during a campaign rally in Iowa, blaming him for the failure to repeal the Affordable Care Act in 2017.
Meghan McCain, the late senator's daughter, publicly denounced Trump's comments, calling him a 'piece of s**t, election denying, huckster whose own wife won’t campaign with him.'
Trump's comments were in reference to McCain's inability to raise his arms above his head, a result of injuries sustained during his five-and-a-half-year captivity in North Vietnam from 1967 to 1973.
Senator McCain's vote against the Obamacare repeal in 2017 marked a significant setback for congressional Republicans.
Trump is a leading contender in the Republican primary race, with recent polls showing a close hypothetical matchup between him and President Biden.
