Senator John McCain on Monday said Donald Trump's comments questioning his military record were “inappropriate” and “offensive,” but stopped short of calling for the real-estate mogul to drop out of the race for the Republican presidential nomination.
"There are so many men, and some women, who served and sacrificed and happened to be held prisoner and somehow to denigrate that, in any way, their service I think is offensive," McCain, an Arizona Republican, said on MSNBC's Morning Joe program. "It's just totally inappropriate for Mr. Trump to say that he doesn't like to be with people who were captured."
