Its really good to be with you. Im annemarie green. This morning President Trump is firing back at a report claiming that he called american soldiers who died in war suckers and losers. According to the article in the atlantic, mr. Trump did not want to support the 2018 funeral of senator john mccain, a decorated navy veteran, who spent years as a prisoner of war because he was a loser. The atlantic also reports mr. Trump was furious flags were flown at half staff for mccain. Last night the president was quick to refute those claims. I disagreed with john mccain, but i still respected him. I had to approve his funeral as president. We lowered the flags i had to approve that. Nobody else. I had to approve it. The president did not take questions after making that statement. Rkura podesta is here in new laura, the president didnt want to talk to reporters after that statement, but he still had plenty to say on twitter. Reporter thats right. Late last night, President Trump sent out a barrage of tweets really doubling down on what you just heard in that brief interview. He said, i was never a big fan of john mccain, disagreed with him on many issues, but the lowering of our nations american flags and the firstclass funeral that he was given by our country had to be approved by me as president , and i did so without hesitation or complaint. I felt it was well deserved.

Win or lose, im going to go down fighting. And im going to go down reporter rallying in latrobe, pennsylvania, mr. Trump suggested for the second time this week to vote twice. Sign your mailin ballot. You sign it and send it in. Then you have to follow it. And if on election day or early voting that is not tabulated and counted, you go vote. Reporter on his way back to washington, the president rejected a new article in the atlantic. It claims in 2018 he canceled a visit to an american war cemetery in france because he feared his hair would become disheveled in the rain. He referred to the dead soldiers as losers and suckers. And i would be willing to swear on anything that i never said that about our fallen heroes. There is nobody that respects them more. Reporter meanwhile, biden spent the day in kenosha, wisconsin, the site of recent protests following the Police Shooting of jacob blake. So regardless how angry you are, if you loot or burn, you should be held accountable as someone who does anything else. Reporter the former Vice President spoke on the phone with blake, who is partially paralyzed after being shot in the back. He talked about how nothing was going to defeat him. Reporter biden is expected to deliver remarks on the economy later today. I also want to mention the Trump Campaign put out a list of staffers it says can refute the atlantics claims. It also said it was the secret service that made the call to cancel that cemetery trip because of bad weather. Annemarie . All right. Laura podesta in new york. Thank you so much.
