Trump Laces Into McCain Over His Opposition to Health Care Bill
The move by Mr. McCain, whose “no” vote against an earlier iteration of a health care repeal bill killed
that effort in July, dealt yet another setback to Mr. Trump’s effort to fulfill his promise to do away with Barack Obama’s signature health care law.
— President Trump on Saturday morning lashed out at Senator John McCain of Arizona for breaking with him
and opposing Republicans’ latest plan to roll back the Affordable Care Act, saying the senator had let his state down and been deceived by Democrats into abandoning a promise.
In a series of angrily worded tweets sent from his golf resort in Bedminster, N. J., Mr. Trump argued
that Mr. McCain, whose announcement on Friday that he would not back the health care measure most likely doomed it, had knowingly misled members of his own party about where he stood on the legislation.
“Chuck Schumer sold John McCain a bill of goods,” the president said, referring
to the New York senator and minority leader, who was opposed to the measure.
