WATCH: Radio host mocks Trump on Fox News by holding up John McCain's photo
.
Talk radio host Chip Franklin has made no secret of his disdain for President Donald Trump, and he expressed that disdain during a Fox News appearance on Sunday by holding up a photo of the late Sen. John McCain.
Franklin has been weighing in on the controversy surrounding reports that someone in the White House hid the USS John McCain, a U.S. Navy warship, during Trumps recent visit to Japan where the president met with Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. There was no love lost between Trump and the late Arizona Sen. John McCain, who died of brain cancer in August 2018 and someone in the White House reportedly wanted to keep the USS John McCain out of sight when Trump was in Japan. Trump, however, has denied that the warship was hidden on his orders, although he said that if someone in the White House did conceal it, they were probably well-meaning.
Discussing the controversy outside the White House last week, Trump said of McCain, I wasnt a fan. Trump bitterly resented McCain for, among other things, helping to derail a GOP-sponsored Obamacare replacement bill in 2017 and McCain was highly critical of Trump during the presidents summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Helsinki, Finland in July 2018.
Unfortunately, it looks like it's only on Twitter right now.
