John McCain’s Son Slams Trump's Arlington Appearance | The View

SO, THE FALLOUT, THE FALLOUT FROM REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE'S VISIT TO ARLINGTON NATIONAL CEMETERY KEEPS GROWING. YOU KNOW, HE KEEPS INSISTING HE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG AND STILL HAS HIS POLITICAL SUPPORTERS, BUT THE SON OF THE LATE REPUBLICAN SENATOR JOHN McCAIN, FIRST LIEUTENANT JIMMY McCAIN SAYS, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. TAKE A LOOK. >> THE POINT OF ARLINGTON CEMETERY IS TO GO AND SHOW RESPECT FOR THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO HAVE GIVEN THEIR LIVES TO THIS COUNTRY. WHEN YOU MAKE IT POLITICAL, YOU TAKE AWAY THE RESPECT OF THE PEOPLE WHO ARE THERE. I FEEL THAT KAMALA HARRIS AND TIM WALZ EMBODY A GROUP OF PEOPLE THAT WILL HELP MAKE THIS COUNTRY BETTER, THAT WILL TAKE US FORWARD, AND THAT'S REALLY WHAT MATTERS AT THE END OF THE DAY. >> THEY INVITED HIM TO BE THERE. THEY ASKED HIM TO POSE FOR PHOTOS WITH THE FAMILY MEMBERS OF THE FALLEN, SO I DON'T SEE, YOU KNOW, THE OUTRAGE, BUT HERE'S THE THING, IF PEOPLE LIKE HARRIS AND THE MEDIA ARE GOING TO EXPRESS MORE OUTRAGE AT THAT THAN THE PEOPLE THAT MADE THEM GOLD STAR FAMILIES IN THE FIRST PLACE, SOMETHING IS WRONG. THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE. [ APPLAUSE ] >> Joy: WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? >> Whoopi: WELL, ACTUALLY WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, RON, IS THAT IT'S OKAY TO BREAK THE LAW. IT'S THE LAW SAYS YOU CANNOT SHOOT IN THIS SECTION, JUST THIS SECTION, AND WHEN ASKED TO NOT DO IT, THERE WAS A PROBLEM. SEE, IF EVERYBODY JUST DOESN'T FOLLOW ANY RULES, WHERE ARE -- WHO ARE WE? THEY SAID DON'T DO IT HERE, PLEASE, PARENTS OF A YOUNG MAN WHOSE GRAVE IS IN THIS SHOT SAID, YOU KNOW, OUR SON TOOK HIS OWN LIFE. WE DIDN'T ASK FOR THIS, AND NO ONE ASKED US IF WE COULD DO THIS, SO I'M NOT SURE WHAT DeSANTIS OR WHAT PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND. THE RULES SAY, DON'T DO IT HERE. IT DOESN'T SAY YOU CAN'T DO IT AT ALL. >> Sunny: IT IS AN ESPECIALLY SACRED PLACE. >> Whoopi: PLEASE DON'T. PLEASE DON'T, THEY SAY. >> Joy: I'M SORRY. IT WASN'T JUST HARRIS WHO REBUKED HIM, IT WAS ALSO THE UNITED STATES ARMY, OKAY, SO LET'S GET THAT STRAIGHT, AND WHEN HE SAYS -- IS HE BLAMING THE DEMOCRATS FOR WARS? >> Sara: HE'S BLAMING I THINK PRESIDENT BIDEN AND -- >> Alyssa: HE'S TALKING ABOUT THE WITHDRAWAL FROM AFGHANISTAN. >> Joy: THAT HAD A DATE ON IT GIVEN BY TRUMP. AM I UNDERSTANDING CORRECTLY? >> Sunny: YES, YOU ARE. >> Joy: SO, THEY HAD TO GET OUT AT A CERTAIN POINT, SO IT WAS MESSY. >> Alyssa: ARGUABLY. I THINK THERE BEARS A LOT OF RESPONSIBILITY, REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS, FOR THE WITHDRAWAL FROM AFGHANISTAN, BUT I DO WANT TO SPEAK TO JIMMY McCAIN, BECAUSE I THINK THIS WAS INCREDIBLY HONORABLE. >> Joy: CAN I FINISH THIS ONE IDEA? THIS RON -- WHATEVER HIS NAME IS -- DeSANTIS. [ LAUGHTER ] DIDN'T TRUMP CALL HIM MEATBALL RON? >> Whoopi: HE'S CALLED HIM ALL -- BUT HE CAN'T QUIT HIM. >> Joy: AND NEITHER COULD TED CRUZ, WHO TRUMP SAID HAS AN UGLY WIFE AND FATHER WAS INVOLVED IN THE KENNEDY ASSASSINATION AND YET THEY BOW DOWN TO THIS GUY, SO I WANT TO SALUTE THIS McCAIN PERSON, JIMMY McCAIN, GOOD FOR YOU. HE STUCK UP FOR HIS -- FOR THE CORRECT THING, FOR THE COUNTRY AS OPPOSED TO THE PARTY. >> Sunny: HE WENT FURTHER, THOUGH, WHICH I FOUND EXTREMELY IMPRESSIVE. HE IS A REGISTERED INDEPENDENT, AND WE KNOW THAT SOME INDEPENDENTS NEVER VOTE REPUBLICAN AND SOME INDEPENDENTS NEVER VOTE DEMOCRAT SO THEY'RE ACTUALLY IN ONE CAMP OR THE OTHER. HE SAID HE SWITCHED FROM BEING AN INDEPENDENT TO BEING A DEMOCRAT, AND HE WILL BE VOTING FOR THE HARRIS/WALZ TICKET. >> Joy: YEAH. >> Sunny: THAT SAYS TO ME A LOT, BECAUSE THIS RACE IS REALLY -- THIS ELECTION IS REALLY COMING DOWN TO VALUES AND CHARACTER. >> Joy: THAT'S RIGHT. >> Sunny: AND TWO VERY DIFFERENT VISIONS OF AMERICA, AND AT THE DNC, YOU COULD SEE IT WAS ABOUT CHARACTER AND VALUES AND HOW WE DO THIS TOGETHER. WE'RE IN IT TOGETHER. THE OTHER SIDE IS REALLY TALKING ABOUT A VERY DARK VISION WHERE IT'S NOT ALL INCLUSIVE, AND SOME OF US ARE GOING TO DO JUST FINE, AND THE REST OF US ARE NOT GOING TO DO WELL AT ALL, AND THAT IS NOT THE PROMISE OF AMERICA. THE PROMISE OF AMERICA IS THAT ALONE YOU SURVIVE, BUT TOGETHER YOU THRIVE, AND THAT'S WHAT MAKES THIS COUNTRY SO GREAT, AND SO FOR THIS -- THIS YOUNG MAN, WHO COMES FROM A WAR HERO, RIGHT, WHO IS DEEPLY CONSERVATIVE AND HAS BEEN TO SAY THE VALUES THAT I HOLD ARE HELD BY THE HARRIS/WALZ TEAM, I THINK THAT IS -- THAT SHOULD BE ON ADS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. [ APPLAUSE ] >> Joy: YES. >> Alyssa: SO, THERE'S THIS QUESTION OF WHETHER THESE REPUBLICAN DEFECTIONS FROM DONALD TRUMP ARE GOING TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE, AND I WOULD REMIND FOLKS THAT JOE BIDEN BEAT TRUMP IN GEORGIA BY 11,000 VOTES, SO NOW LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR GEOFF DUNCAN CAME OUT AND SAID HE'S NOT SUPPORTING DONALD TRUMP BUT KAMALA HARRIS. JIMMY McCAIN? WILL IT MATTER ALL OVER THE COUNTRY? NO, BUT IT MIGHT MATTER IN ARIZONA WHERE HIS FATHER IS BELOVED. I THINK IF PAT TOOMEY, WHO DIDN'T SAY HE WOULD SUPPORT KAMALA HARRIS BUT SAID I CANNOT SUPPORT DONALD TRUMP IN CRITICAL PENNSYLVANIA, A MULTITERM SENATOR WHO IS BELOVED IN THE STATE, BUT I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THIS, WE KNOW THE CHARACTER REASONS NOT TO VOTE FOR DONALD TRUMP, AND HE VIOLATED THE CONSTITUTION ON JANUARY 6th, BUT FOR LIFELONG REPUBLICANS LIKE MYSELF, THERE'S ALSO POLICY REASONS. HE FLIP-FLOPPED ON BREAKING UP TIKTOK, CAVING TO CHINA. HE -- >> Joy: WHO? >> Alyssa: DONALD TRUMP. HE SHUT DOWN THE MOST AGGRESSIVE BORDER SECURITY BILL IN 30 YEARS AND IS CALLING FOR TARIFFS ON IMPORTS, WHICH WILL JUST BE A CONSUMER TAX THAT WE'LL PAY MORE FOR, THINGS YOU BUY ON AMAZON AND EVERY DAY AND FLIP-FLOPPED EVERY SIDE OF ABORTION AND CLAIMS THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WILL PAY FOR IVF. >> Sunny: WHICH IS NONSENSE. >> Alyssa: THAT IS NOT CONSERVATIVE AND WON'T SUPPORT UKRAINE. WE STAND WITH OUR ALLIES. I WOULD TELL REPUBLICANS, YOU DON'T NEED TO VOTE FOR HARRIS, BUT I WOULD SAY STRONGLY CONSIDER NOT VOTING FOR TRUMP. [ APPLAUSE ] >> Sara: YOU SAID WILL IT MATTER WITH ANYONE WHEN YOU WATCH JIMMY McCAIN. EACH PERSON THAT FINDS THEIR BACKBONE WHEN IT SUITS THEM FOR THE VALUES THEY'RE LOOKING FOR GIVES SOMEONE PERMISSION TO LOOK AT THAT, ESPECIALLY A McCAIN. I THINK A McCAIN IS SUCH A DEEPLY REPUBLICAN TRADITION. FOR HIM TO STAND UP, HE WAS INDEPENDENT PRIMARILY BECAUSE HE SAID AS A MILITARY MEMBER, THAT'S NOT POLITICAL. YOU'RE PART OF THE MOST PRECIOUS PART OF THIS COUNTRY, AND THAT'S WHY THE ARLINGTON THING BOTHERED ME, BECAUSE WHAT DONALD TRUMP'S PEOPLE KEEP SAYING IS THOSE FAMILIES INVITED US. THEY TOLD US, BUT THAT WOULD BE LIKE A 9/11 FAMILY MEMBER TELLING ME I COULD SWIM IN THE MEMORIAL FOUNTAIN. >> Alyssa: RIGHT, RIGHT. >> Sara: JUST BECAUSE THEY LOST SOMEONE DOESN'T MEAN THERE ISN'T SANCTITY AND RULES, AND IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT ONE HEADSTONE IN THE BACK OF A VIDEO BUT EVERY LIFE THAT IS THERE FOR US. [ APPLAUSE ] >> Whoopi: YEAH, RIGHT. >> Sunny: THEY GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR THIS COUNTRY. [ APPLAUSE ] >> Whoopi: LISTEN, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE KEEP MAKING EXCUSES FOR THIS CAT. YOU KNOW, I AM JUST -- I GET THAT THAT'S WHO HE IS, BUT I HAVE TO SAY, YOU KNOW, THIS DISREGARD FOR HOW JUST -- JUST BEING RESPECTFUL, DECENT. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE ARE SAYING, WELL, YOU KNOW, THERE WAS A REASON HE WAS DISRESPECTFUL FOR EVERYBODY, THERE WAS A REASON WHY HE POOPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE THING. IT'S NOT OKAY. THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT ARE NOT OKAY, AND ARLINGTON NATIONAL CEMETERY IS ONE PLACE WHERE NO ONE SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO BREAK THE RULES. [ APPLAUSE ] >> Joy: WELL, WITH THE THUMB'S UP. IT WAS THE THUMB'S UP AND FACT THAT IT WAS --
