WATCH: McCain takes shot at Trump over draft dodging

McCain took a not-so-veiled shot at Trump over the weekend. He didn’t call trump out by name directly, but you know exactly who he’s referring to in this video:

Sen. John McCain took some veiled shots at President Trump over the weekend — slamming high-income draft dodgers for using their wealth to avoid serving in the Vietnam War.

“One aspect of the conflict, by the way, that I will never, ever countenance is that we drafted the lowest income level of America and the highest income level found a doctor that would say that they had a bone spur,” the Arizona lawmaker told C-SPAN3 in an interview that aired Sunday.

“That is wrong. That is wrong,” he said. “If we’re going to ask every American to serve, every American should serve.”

McCain, a Republican, didn’t actually name Trump — but the “bone spur” reference appeared to be a direct jab.

The president received several draft deferments during the war, including one in 1968 for bone spurs in his heels.

As much as I despise McCain, he’s not wrong on this.

But I’m sure Trump will jump on Twitter as soon as he reads this to bash McCain for saying it….or something.
