Miles Taylor Says the Day He Quit the Trump Admin. Was the Day John McCain Died and Trump Gave Them Instructions Not to Honor Him

TRANSCRIPT:

TAYLOR: "And I got to tell you, it was so unsurprising to see the Robert Mueller thing. The day that I decided to speak out from the Trump Administration, to quit that administration, was the day when a mentor of mine from Capitol Hill had died. His name was John McCain. The flags were at half-staff around the country, and the president was trying to call us in Australia, on the other side of the world, to say, not put out a statement in honor of John McCain, but to say, 'Raise the flags back up. I don‘t care if you agreed with John McCain or disagreed. It didn‘t matter. Like Bob Mueller, he served this country in uniform. He was a sitting United States senator. He deserved to be honored with the flags at half-staff. For the president of the United States to be so petty, so small and petty, to tell us to raise the flags back up in an act of active dishonor, tells you everything you need to know about that man and his lack of integrity and character."
