John McCain’s son says he will vote Democrat as he slams Trump Arlington visit

Jimmy McCain, a national guard lieutenant, says he can't overlook' Trump's criticism of his late father

The son of the late Republican senator John McCain - whose war record was disparaged by Donald Trump - has added his voice to criticism of the former president's controversial Arlington cemetery visit, accusing him of violating a sacred burial site for political purposes.

First Lieutenant Jimmy McCain, an intelligence officer in the 158th infantry regiment of the national guard, said Trump's behaviour at the cemetery - America's most revered burial ground for fallen military personnel and military heroes - was in line with previous acts of disrespect.
