McCain on Trump: ‘To Look Back in Anger at Anyone Is Nonproductive’

‘Best thing to do is put it behind us and move forward and just express our gratitude to those who have served and sacrificed’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:

SCARBOROUGH: “ But what about Donald Trump, though? Are you not resentful that a guy that didn't serve in Vietnam is criticizing someone like yourself who still is paying the price day in and day out for what you did and what you endured while in prison camp?”

MCCAIN: “Joe, I put all that behind me. For me to look back in anger at anyone is nonproductive and our country is -- was divided and almost unprecedented fashion durinietnam war. When I came home, I was shocked. I worked ever since to heal those wounds. I spent time with veterans. I do everything I can to help them. As you know, major scandals going on. I had two pieces of legislation to try that issue. Best thing to do is put it behind us and move forward and just express our gratitude to those who have served and sacrificed. Who are the real heroes? They're the 55,000 names that are down on the wall engraved in black granite that I stop by sometime early in the morning and when the sun is going down. And I was fourth of July with the men and women who are serving in Afghanistan and I can tell you they are just wonderful. Better than my generation.”
