John McCain’s Son Slams Trump Over Cemetery Ad: ‘Show Respect – And Leave’

INTELLIGENCE OFFICER WHO SERVED PREVIOUSLY AS A U.s MARINE. JIM, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING US. TELL US WHY YOU CALLED TRUMP'S VISIT TO ARLINGTON A VIOLATION THEY'VE FOR HAVING ME, SIR. >> WELL AS YOU WELL KNOW, SARA ARLINGTON CEMETERY IS SACRED TO ALL PEOPLE WHO HAVE ALL PEOPLE ARE MEMBERS OF THE MILITARY. ALL PEOPLE WHO HAVE SERVED IN THE UNIFORM IT'S A SACRED ERIC AREA. THERE'S THREE GENERATIONS OF MCCAIN'S THAT ARE BURIED THERE. IT'S A VIOLATION BECAUSE THESE RULES ARE SET IN PLACE. THE PEOPLE WHO ARE BURIED THERE DON'T HAVE AN OPINION WHERE THE POINT OF ARLINGTON CEMETERY HAS TO GO AND SHOW RESPECT FOR THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO HAVE GIVEN THEIR LIVES FOR THIS COUNTRY WHEN YOU MAKE IT POLITICAL, YOU TAKE AWAY THE RESPECT OF THE PEOPLE WHO ARE THERE SO YOU'RE RECENTLY BACK FROM A SEVEN-MONTH DEPLOYMENT TO TOWER 22 IN JORDAN. >> THAT'S NEAR THE BORDER WITH SYRIA. THREE U.s. SOLDIERS WERE KILLED THERE JUST THIS PAST JANUARY THIS IDEA OF A SACRED SPACE AND GRIEVING FAMILIES. IT'S NOT JUST THEORETICAL FOR YOU YES, SIR. >> I MEAN, I WAS NOT PERSONALLY AT TOWER 22 WHEN THAT ATTACK HAPPENED, BUT AFTER BEING DIRECTLY ON THE GROUND RIGHT AFTER I UNDERSTAND THE PAIN THAT WE SAW THERE THE YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN WHO ARE SERVING THERE AND WHAT THEY WENT THROUGH. ONCE AGAIN, IT'S A SOLEMN THING YOU KNOW, THESE, THESE YOUNG PEOPLE ARE TAKING TIME OUT OF THEIR LIVES WHEN THEY COULD BE BETTERING THEMSELVES, COLLEGE, THINGS LIKE THAT. AND THEY'RE JOINING THE MILITARY BECAUSE THEY FEEL IT'S THE RIGHT THING. AND THE LEAST WE CAN DO IS WHEN THEY'RE GONE, IF THEY WHEN THEY'RE IN ARLINGTON IS TO RESPECT THE RULES AND REGULATIONS THAT ARE IN PLACE, LIKE NOT POLITICIZING THE FACT THAT THESE MEN AND WOMEN ARE THERE. GO SHOW RESPECT UNDER I UNDERSTAND THAT HE WAS INVITED. SHOW RESPECT AND LEAVE. IT DOESN'T NEED TO BE VIDEOED NOW, THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN VIDEO FROM ARLINGTON SHOWING UP IN CAMPAIGN ADS AND GOING TO ACACTUALLY EXPRESSLY FILM AT ARLINGTON FOR THE PURPOSE OF A CAMPAIGN AD AND WE SHOULD NOTE BECAUSE JUST BECAUSE I'M OLD ENOUGH, I REMEMBER IN 1999 WHEN YOUR DAD, SENATOR JOHN MCCAIN, HAD CAMPAIGN VIDEO THAT SHOWED HIM WALKING THROUGH THE CEMETERY. >> BUT AFTER IT WAS POINTED OUT THAT SOME PEOPLE THOUGHT THAT WAS INAPPROPRIATE, YOUR DAD CALLED IT A VERY BAD MISTAKE AND APOLOGIZED FOR IT IF DONALD TRUMP APOLOGIZE FOR IT AND CALLED IT A MISTAKE, WHAT HE EARNED ANY POINTS BACK WITH YOU AGAIN, I RECOGNIZE IT'S NOT THE EXACT SAME THING, BUT I'M JUST WONDERING BECAUSE THIS REALLY SEEMS TO HAVE BOTH OF YOU THAT HE THAT MR. TRUMP DID THIS I MEAN, THE FIRST THING ABOUT JOHN MCCAIN, YOU DON'T SPEND THAT LONG TERM POLITICS WITHOUT MESSING UP ONCE OR TWICE. >> SO THE MAIN POINT IS THAT HE PULLED IT DOWN AND HE UNDERSTOOD THE SOLEMN SANK SANCTIFIED NATIVE NATURE OF THAT OF THAT ARLINGTON NATIONAL CEMETERY SO IF DONALD TRUMP PULLED IT DOWN AND APOLOGIZED, I MEAN, IT WOULD BE THE RIGHT THING TO DO. BUT LOOK AT HIS HISTORY TOWARDS TOWARDS VETERANS, LOOK AT THIS POINT YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW WHAT
