Giuliani: McCain Commented on Khans For His Re-Election

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani said Monday that John McCain only criticized Donald Trump for his comments about a gold star family because of the Arizona senator’s re-election bid. “I think you’re hearing a guy who’s worried about whether he can be reelected in Arizona,” Giuliani told The Washington Post. “John wouldn’t be saying this if he were running two years from now. He’d just keep his mouth shut.” McCain released a lengthy statement earlier Monday in which he lambasted Trump for “defaming” Khizr and Ghazala Khan, who spoke last week at the Democratic convention in Philadelphia and whose son was killed in Iraq in 2004. “While our party has bestowed upon him the nomination, it is not accompanied by unfettered license to defame those who are the best among us,” McCain said in part.

[olddad56]

21. Me too, fuck that fucking fucker

[Rex]

22. I would love to see Rudy's DD-214.

Fuck that warmongering draft dodger. I cannot stand McCain, but I will stand in his defense against a vile pox of a human like Rudy.

[MurrayDelph]

33. I wouldn't fuck him

with Ann Coulter's dick.

[brooklynite]

4. AND...another news cycle begins...

[BeyondGeography]

11. Seriously...

Political geniuses, I tell ya.

[Xipe Totec]

5. Like rabid weasels turning on each other. nt

[DinahMoeHum]

7. Pass the popcorn. . .

[RAFisher]

6. Awwww another Draft-Dodger doesn't give a shit about a family's sacrifice.

Color me shocked.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

8. Rudy the Skull is a complete and total shitbag

You know why he was so angry about people insulting Donald? Because they are both equally disgusting, immoral, scum sucking worms.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

9. Really Rudy?

[liberalmuse]

10. Trump must've promised Rudy a HUGE job!

Rudy needs to go away forever.

[VMA131Marine]

15. I think you are on the right track here ...

[no_hypocrisy]

28. ^^^THIS^^^

[bucolic_frolic]

12. Rudy, Baby

Think hard on this one: Trump thought it would help him get elected
when he said these nasty things. Makes you wonder, no?

[Liberal In Red State]

13. Giuliani is an ass of the highest order! This is the first time in 16 years that I have any

respect for John McCain. He let Bush slam his family in the 2000 election. His decency surfaced when he defended President Obama in a town hall meeting. Having done that though . . . John should be willing to go down with his principles in tack. He should stand up for Vets . . . Always and everywhere. I would think he would rather loose and not represent a state like AZ than keep quiet for a man like Drumpf! His daughter Meghann should stand up for her father as well and turn her back on the RNC. The grand daughter had more gumpshion than the both of them!

[Paladin]

14. When you hear Rudy, you're hearing a guy who's an asshole. Always. (nt)

[Eugene]

16. Geez Rudy, that's a really deep hole you guys are digging for yourselves.

Any adviser with two working synapses to rub together would say
change the subject and move on. And the Trumpians dig in further.

Don't bash Gold Star families. It's that simple. GOP politicians
are in a panic because Trump's and his surrogates' comments
are beyond the pale.

[Justice]

17. GOP attacking each other.

[femmocrat]

18. A repug circular firing squad has formed!

[SirBrockington]

23. After Orlando McCain said he blamed Obama directly

...walked it back after huge criticism... then a week later said it again.

[SticksnStones]

24. Hey Rudy, gotta ask...

Why didn't you keep your mouth shut?

Should have taken your own advice you tool you ~

[Schema Thing]

25. Rudy is exactly right.

[liberal N proud]

26. Giuliani doesn't know up from down.

[TheBaculumKing]

27. Sadly, Guiliani is Actually Correct

McCain IS only bucking Trump because he's worried about losing his cushy job. EVERY Republican Senator who has actually opposed Trump's attacks on the Kahns is in a serious fight for re-election.

Republican Senators in safe seats, or not up this cycle, ain't said shit.

[Bucky]

37. The moral courage of a man who keeps his head low in a bar fight

If your party nominates a trainwreck, I can understand a little bit of trying to stay above the fray. But when a man attacks the grieving parents of an American military hero, the silence of all those Republicans shouts volumes about the choices most Republicans are making between party and country.

[sailfla]

29. They are both of the same ilk, guys

They are eating each other. The end is near for the R's

[underpants]

30. How would Bernie Kerik have handled it?

Was I not supposed to mention Kerik?

[glennward]

31. And saying that helps McCain? nt

[George II]

32. Why doesn't he just go away? Nobody listens to that scary looking idiot anymore.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

34. Never thought I'd agree with this evil bastard but I do!

[roamer65]

35. 41 shots...n/t

[auntpurl]

36. Khan story still going then, is it?

What is that, day 5? 6? Unbelievable that they don't get how damaging this is to Trump's campaign.

Keep talking, f*ckmuppets. Looked at the polls recently?

[Bucky]

38. Speaking of unbelievable...

I have looked at the polls recently. The fact that Clinton is only 5 or 6 points ahead in the most recent polls really has my head spinning.

[ck4829]

39. It's just like in 2012 when Republicans just couldn't keep their mouths shut about rape

[auntpurl]

40. Was that the "women have ways of shutting that down" moment?

[ck4829]

41. That was one of them, yes.

[yellowcanine]

42. The Ghoul speaks! Finally! Can Crispy be far behind?

Now that Giuliani has led the way by insulting another war hero perhaps Christie can insult somebody while defending Trump.

[yellowcanine]

43. Oops I was wrong about Crispy - He did defend the Khans but without condemning Trump, of course.

Nary a word about Trump. As if the kerfuffle came out of nowhere.
