Schumer Hits Trump With His Own Words After POTUS Claims He Never Called John McCain a ‘Loser’

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) is taking aim at President Donald Trump after a report about the president making some harsh remarks about late-Sen. John McCain.

The Atlantic published a report on Thursday, which alleged the president called Americans who died in war “losers” and “suckers.” It also suggested Trump said of flags at half-staff after McCain died, “What the f*** are we doing that for? Guy was a f***ing loser.”

The publication also cited a remark Trump said in 2015, “I like people who weren’t captured,” regarding McCain, who was a prisoner of war for over five years.

Schumer then took a moment to offer his thoughts on the report.

Schumer then pulled some of Trump’s previous tweets, writing, “Keep your receipts.” The tweet referred to was Trump calling McCain a “loser.”

The Democratic lawmaker also took aim at Trump after the president tweeted following the report’s publication, “I never called John a loser and swear on whatever, or whoever, I was asked to swear on, that I never called our great fallen soldiers anything other than HEROES.”

However, Schumer responded to that tweet, writing, “Too many lies for too long.”
