Senator Reveals What John McCain Was Saying During Trump’s Inauguration Ceremony
Democratic Sen. Amy Klobuchar said the late Sen. John McCain compared President Donald Trump to notable dictators aloud during the president’s 2017 inauguration ceremony.
Speaking in Iowa on a campaign stop ahead of the 2020 presidential election, Klobuchar said she was seated next to Democratic Sen. Bernie Sanders and longtime Republican McCain, who “knew more than any of us what we were facing as a nation.”
“I sat on that stage between Bernie and John McCain, and John McCain kept reciting to me names of dictators during that speech because he knew more than any of us what we were facing as a nation,” Klobuchar said. “He understood it. He knew because he knew this man more than any of us did.”
McCain and Trump publicly squared off multiple times since the 2016 Election. Trump jabbed at the senator for his vote that killed the Obamacare repeal and raised eyebrows by mocking his capture while serving as a fighter pilot in Vietnam, saying he likes “people who weren’t captured.”
McCain’s August 2018 death brought the pair’s fraught relationship into focus, as Trump was asked not to attend the funeral and McCain’s daughter Meghan took aim at the state of the country under the president in her eulogy for the massive crowd of Washington heavyweights.
