Trump: "I was never a fan of John McCain and I never will be"

President Trump attacked the late Sen. John McCain again during an Oval Office pool spray with Brazil's President Jair Bolsonaro, claiming he's still "very unhappy" with McCain for killing the GOP's efforts to repeal the Affordable Care Act in July 2017. McCain passed away 7 months ago.


"I'm very unhappy he didn't repeal and replace Obamacare, as you know. He campaigned on repealing and replacing Obamacare for years then he gave a thumbs down. We would have had great health care. He campaigned, he told us hours before that he was going to repeal and replace. And then for some reason, I think I understand the reason, he ended up going thumbs up. And frankly had we even known that we would have gotten a vote because we could have gotten somebody else. I think that's disgraceful. Plus there are other things. I was never a fan of John McCain and I never will be."
