Sen. Chris Coons on Sunday called on President Donald Trump to apologize for trashing the late John McCain on Twitter during the weekend, and backed the departed Arizona Republican for delivering to the FBI the so-called dossier on Trump’s alleged ties to Russia.
“I’ve long thought that his personal and direct attacks on Sen. McCain” were “one of the most detestable things about President Trump’s conduct as a candidate,” Coons told host George Stephanopoulos on ABC’s “This Week” in defense of the former GOP senator and 2008 presidential candidate, who“I frankly think the president’s continued attacks on now-late Sen. John McCain is something that’s regrettable and for which he should apologize,” Coons added.
Trump railed against McCain on Saturday for passing along to former FBI Director James Comey an explosive and largely unverified dossier compiled by ex-British intelligence officer Christopher Steele. The salacious report detailed years of links between Trump and Russia, and insinuated that the Kremlin possessed compromising information on the president.
