Sen. John McCain said Monday that he does not view himself as a hero
but that Donald Trump owes an apology to veterans for his comments
about soldiers captured in war.
Asked on MSNBC's Morning Joe if Trump owes him
an apology, McCain responded: "No, I don't think so. But I think he may
owe an apology to the families of those who have sacrificed in conflict
and those who have undergone the prison experience in serving their
country."
Trump has faced blistering criticism for saying
over the weekend that McCain, who was held as a prisoner of war for more
than five years during the Vietnam War, was "a war hero because he was
captured. I like people who weren't captured."
McCain said during the exclusive interview with
MSNBC that it is his senior officers during the Vietnam War who should
be viewed as heroes, not him.
"A great honor of my life was to serve in the company of heroes. I'm not a hero," he said.
