President Trump hit Sen. John McCain in a speech hours after signing a defense bill named after the Arizona Republican.
Trump, speaking at a New York fundraising event just hours after signing a bill named in Senator McCain’s honor, sarcastically referred to McCain as “one of our wonderful senators,” and referenced McCain’s key vote against a proposed repeal of the Affordable Care Act.
