        The GOP Senators lack of even making a statement during the session or at lunch is the "REAL DISGRACE" to John McCain and probably the most heartbreaking to him personally. Senator McCain doesn't expect much of Trump ... but of his colleagues ... he likely expected some support.

        They were individually privately “outraged” - as a group, not so much. Disgraceful

        Because there is no defense of the Traitor and Coward John "Songbird" McCain.

        Relative to Corker's statement .. not that kind of meeting .. heck, it was for policy & political strategy! Nobody could say, "Mr. President as a matter of strategy it is unwise for your staff to insult a dying colleague and an American Hero who is respected cross-party." Done.

        The .@GOP should be ashamed of itself and deserve whatever becomes of them at the hands of this President. May those who have spoken up find solace someplace if the rest insist on bolting on.

        Man, screw McCain. Yeah, he was a war hero back in the day. As a politician, he was a low down, dirty, POS. He’s been pissing on everyone he has beef with lately so, he doesn’t deserve an apology. Even on his deathbed.

        Appalling display of cowardice. Especially Lindsay Graham, supposedly a good friend of McCain’s. With friends like this, who needs enemies

        What's there to defend? When it comes to military service, we thank him. When it comes to political service, we loathe him. Simple as that.

        In the very near future, Senators will be asked if they put party over country and common decency. The answer won't be pretty for the GOP.
