US President Donald Trump launches a fresh mocking attack on John McCain, the Republican senator who died in 2018, after McCain’s widow threw her support behind Joe Biden in the election.
In a particularly aggressive tweet the Republican leader once again criticizes John McCain, who was one of the few in the Republican party to openly castigate him.
“I hardly know Cindy McCain other than having put her on a Committee at her husband’s request,” he tweets.
“Joe Biden was John McCain’s lapdog,” he says of the Democratic challenger he will face as he seeks a second four-year term on November 3.
Denouncing “bad decisions on endless wars,” Trump states that he was “Never a fan of John.”
“Cindy can have Sleepy Joe!” concludes the US president.
