During a rally in Ohio on Sunday, a man asked Donald Trump about his comments about Senator John McCain’s time as a POW.
In July, Trump said, “He’s not a war hero … He was a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren’t captured.”
During the rally on Sunday, a man said to Trump, “I come here because you made a comment to John McCain that you don’t think that captured soldiers are heroes—”
Trump interjected, “oh no no no I was, I never did that—”
The man went back to explaining. “What I want you to do, is just clarify that for me because I think it’s important for all these people here, and for a lot of veterans in Ohio—especially Ohio—and I know what you were doing—”
Trump interjected, “you know exactly when I was doing. But they are heroes, just so you understand, they are real heroes. Thank you.”
