Trump again criticizes ailing McCain over health care vote
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump renewed his criticism of John McCain for the senator’s dramatic thumbs-down deciding vote last year against the GOP health care repeal.
Without using McCain’s name, Trump spoke of his move in December that effectively defeated the overhaul in a close vote.
The president told the Conservative Political Action Conference that “except for one Senator, who came into a room at three o’clock in the morning and went like that,” Trump gave a thumbs-down, “we would have had health care (reform), too.”
The crowd booed.
