about that vial message. mitt romney weighed in, i can t understand why the president would once again dispar ram a man as complexemplary as john m. just moments ago, we got the roots on the obamacare vote. what have you learned about mccann? reporter: anderson, i talked to a former mccain aide who worked with the senator right up until his death and was around for when this repeal and replace vote went down when john mccain gave that now famous thumbs down to the gop repeal and replace plan and angered the us who, angered the president. you heard the president talk about that today. in the word of this aide, nope, never happened. he was not one to consult the white house before he acted and then this aide added the question, you re surprised that
president clinton received a picture of himself playing the sax. when azerbaijan s leader gave the clintons their portraits on a rug, this may well have been the look on bill s face, faced with this gift. just peachy. jeanie moos, cnn, new york. all right. thank you very much for joining us. anderson starts now. good evening. if you are wondering if the president of the united states apologized today on his attack of a war hero months after his passing, he didn t. in fact, help continued to express his dislike of john mccain, blaming him on healthcare and other unnamed issues. in the past, one of the issues he disliked in the campaign about mccain is he got captured during the vietnam and he was a p.o.w. for six years, he was tortured. mr. trump, apparently doesn t like members of the military what get captured, so he said. the continued comments of the president released a flood of attacks by every day citizens
against the fa widow. cindy says she received one from facebook messenger, a note laced with obscenities, quote, your husband was a traitor s piece of warmongering s-word. the woman writes. i m glad he is dead. i hope your piggy looking daughter chokes on a burger down her fat neck, too, she puts another vial word i won t repeat. cindy mccain lashed out on twitter from the executive time in the white house, she took aim to a man that stood up in a prison. he blamed senior mccain and falsely claimed he graduated last in indianapolis. he graduated sixth from last, the senator had to make fun of for himself. he said he caused the obama repeal to fail. as we point out, mccain wasn t the only republican to fame. today as we note, the president
trump lied? this aide added. and so they, inside mccain world, they are furious with the way the president has been behaving over the last few days, going after john mccain. this is a factual error according to people who work for the late senator. has the white house had anything to say about what cindy mccain posted today? reporter: no, they haven t. i think it is worth reminding folks, anderson, this is the sort of thing that happens all the time. when the president lashes out at any number of targets. you and i know this, probably as well as a lot of people do. you do take on a barrage of social media attacks from the president s supporters, there is a whole legion of trolls and bots and so on to back up what the president sed says, sometimes those messages get very, very sinister and sometimes violent. i think this is a taste of what the mccain family i guess has gone through. but as for mccain s status as a war hero, you mentioned what
continued to comment on mccain. i m very unhappy that he didn t repeal and replace obamacare as you know. he campaigned on repealing and replacing obamacare for years. then he got to a vote and he said thumbs down. ourp country would have saved a trillion dollars and we would have had great healthcare. so he campaigned. he told us hours before that he was going to repeople and replace and then for some reason i think i understand the reason, he end up going thumbs up. frankly, had we known that, we would have gotten the vote. we could have gotten somebody else. i think that s disgraceful. plus, there are other things. i was never a fan of john mccain, i never will be. you don t have to be a fan to respect there s e memory or recognize their undeniable service to the country. you don t have to the contractor be a stable genius to understand your word and deeds can have circumstances. they can inspire. why cindy mccain made a message
