The Republican chairman of the Senate Veteran Affairs Committee was slated to deliver a major rebuke of Donald Trump after his repeated attacks against the late war hero and former Senator John McCain.
Johnny Isakson, a Georgia Republican who heads the veterans committee in the US Senate, told journalist AB Stoddard he would deliver a “whipping” towards Mr Trump after he attacked Mr McCain in a series of misleading tweets over the weekend.
Mr Trump capped off his criticisms of the late senator by saying during a televised meeting in the White House, I never was a fan of John McCain and I never will be.”
Mr Isakson, who has previously described Mr Trump’s attacks against Mr McCain as “unthinkable,” told the journalist he wanted to “elevate John” with a speech scheduled on Wednesday.
“America deserves better, the people deserve better, and nobody — regardless of their position — is above common decency and respect for people that risk their life for your life,” the senator said in an interview published in The Bulwark on Wednesday. “When the president is saying that that he doesn’t respect John McCain and he’s never going to respect John McCain and all these kids are out there listening to the president of the United States talk that way about the most decorated senator in history who is dead it just sets the worst tone possible.”
Mr Isakson’s speech will likely take these criticisms a step further, delivering one of the first major rebukes against the president’s Twitter attacks on Mr McCain from a sitting senator.

Except there is this: The Trump will never get a 'major whipping.'
Because; Secretary Pompeo confirmed that the Trump was delivered onto us by gawd as the Savior of Israel.
McCain is dead. In nanosecond Trump World the 'time of the McCain' is farther passed than The Jurassic Period. The Trumpian Base does not waver.
This too. Isakson is a day late and a dollar short. Same thing he always was.
