Trump continues to attack McCain with lies. He has no decency. McCain on his worst day was a much better person than Trump on his best day. Trump’s friend Graham is unwilling to take Trump on – coward!
McCain wouldn’t have wanted it any other way. You often can know a man by—and respect a man for—the enemies he’s made. https://t.co/2xGrtuiWD6

Loves Kim Jong Un, adores Balsonaro, Duterte, Putin and Erdogan and what they stand for. Hates John McCain for what he stood for. Pretty clear what kind of president the United States has. https://t.co/BbvanAxssS

One of the more disturbing aspects of the Trump phenomenon is the way in which his movement has elevated reprehensible people. https://t.co/USf3lrlIFj

The president is lying here about a dead Republican war hero. Every Republican member of Congress should be asked to comment on this.

For the record, McCain handed the dossier to Comey AFTER the election. And not that it matters, but McCain wasn’t last in his class. https://t.co/2HucQ1f48E
Silence would have been much better than this pathetic offering. If you aren't willing to call Trump out when he insults your best friend in the Senate, then it's hard to see how you could see this as anything but shameful. https://t.co/E0TnJV77iV

Trump’s nauseating, continuing attacks on the late Sen. John McCain are the latest manifestation of Trump’s incurable sickness—the inability to let anything go, the instinct not just to defeat but to destroy any opponent, a debilitating jealousy that continues beyond the grave.

Lindsey Graham. Shameful. He has lost every bit of his integrity. https://t.co/blLdmYmzGP

Two very, very, very dark stains on Kenneth Starr. Real ones, as opposed to the made-up one about John McCain. He should be sanctioned by the bar, if not disbarred https://t.co/iVVBSFTXm5

Exactly. Trump’s latest attacks on the heroic @SenJohnMcCain are beneath contempt and utterly unprecedented. Like so much of what this ghastly president says and does. A bottomless pit of inhumanity. https://t.co/IrZ3Czhn0j

Trump's obsession with tearing down John McCain is another demonstration of what a genuinely broken soul the president is. His resentment & utter lack of dignity/empathy for the family of a war hero who recently died is but one reminder of the president's disordered personality.

So, you condemn Donald Trump then? https://t.co/oHdJKKf0bw

Re-upping this from May: "We should be clear about this. John McCain haunts the Trump White House, not because of his votes or policy disagreements, but because he represents the man that Donald Trump cannot ever be." https://t.co/7qsZHET1rF

Even here in good ol’ 2019, I did not expect to wake up to the President of the United States attacking a deceased veteran and Senator, again. https://t.co/KVD6Vp0Blt

'Weak' Lindsey Graham destroyed for staying silent about Trump's ugly attacks on his friend John McCain https://t.co/RVDteg6h7o

Trump now attacking the late senator’s grades at the Naval Academy before he went to Vietnam. Trump did everything he could to prevent his own school records from being released and lied about having bone spurs to avoid serving in Vietnam, per Michael Cohen’s testimony https://t.co/Ax3hyEUEkj

Trump slandering John McCain is expected. He earned respect that Trump will never have. That so few of McCain's fellow Republicans defend a recently passed hero against these attacks is even more pathetic.

Not only is this wrong (see @NatashaBertrand's TL), but once again, taking on a dead war hero and a man vastly more respected – as most men are – than himself. https://t.co/j0w6vjLbYN

Wrong. McCain’s associate David Kramer wasn’t briefed on the dossier until after the election, in late November 2016. Kramer then returned to the US and gave a copy to McCain, who then gave it to the FBI. Again, all well after the election. https://t.co/E4eaEnJ7eT

He doesn't consciously understand it, but I think what REALLY burns Trump about both of them is that both McCain and GHWB is that they were actual warriors.

Trump is a cosseted, spoiled brat, a vain and weak man who is a slave to his impulses. https://t.co/xoVIRrzzPt
Trump hadn’t used this insult of McCain, who is dead, since 2015: pic.twitter.com/hw4mCHJHI9
