President Trump was blasted by, well, everybody for his remarks about the late John McCain. However, CNN’s Jim Acosta has a special side dish to offer; an unnamed former McCain aide claims Trump was lying when he said McCain came to the White House and expressed his support for “repeal and replace” of Obamacare.
McCain certainly became a hero to liberals with his deciding “no” vote on a so-called “skinny repeal,” earning a literal superhero cape from the gals at Planned Parenthood.
But are we supposed to trust Acosta’s source on this?
A former McCain aide says Trump was lying when he claimed today the senator had misled the WH and said he was going to support “repeal and replace” effort before changing his mind. “Nope. Never happened,” the former aide said. “You’re surprised Trump lied?” the ex-aide added.

Ahem.
He held my hand at a town hall as I cried about losing my mom. He looked me in the eye and promised to repeal that monstrosity (his word) the first chance he got. He just needed my vote. He lied. The aide is lying.

A friend, and source over many years reported, "Jim Acosta has to make things up, because he has nothing substantial to contribute to the conversation with real facts on either side of any issue!"

People that have names, on the record, say different. Which story does CNN tell you? The anonymous source that wasn’t even there.

Jim, you just can't help yourself. Mr. Schlapp is still maintaining that McCain flip-flopped. From your post, it looks as if you're contending that Matt Schlapp was quoting DIRECTLY to YOU. Is that the case? Not another one of your BS 'A source familiar with the matter' nonsense!

What's funny, is that you Jim, think we are supposed to believe you, CNN, & some"former McCain aide" as your "source". McCain served the country, but in the end, he hated Trump more than he loved America. All the GOP were shocked at his midnight vote down on the healthcare bill.

DeplorableKarin's other TweetsAnd You're surprised McCain aide lied? Maybe the same aide who leaked the dossier to 12 news outlets? Did you even check any other sources? You are such an obvious hack. Still playing on Obama's softball team?

You tarnish those who tell you they were there.
Did your “reporting” bring you to state what ANYBODY else said on his vote?
That’s what “Journalism” is all about.
You do know McCain Campaigned to repeal The ACA, right?
CNN agenda first.

No I am not surprised that @acosta lied or that the former campaign aide, who of course, was not mentioned by name lied. We all know McCain said he was for R&R to get elected then voted against it. We also saw his comments made afterward.

McCain ran for re-election on the promise to repeal and replace OBAMA care. Typical of you and CNN to keep reporting False News based on anonymous people!

Jim I’ve got some ocean front property in ARIZONA, along with millions of dollars of campaign material that was clear from 2014 senatorial campaign that clearly says “REPEAL AND REPLACE!”.
Can somehow you read a book and learn what and how to be a journalist?

No Acosta, we heard him say he was waiting for Paul Ryan to call him. Paul Ryan did call him and give him what he wanted and then at the last minute he refused to vote for what he promised his state and his governor.

As an AZ resident I can absolutely tell you McCain lied...he repeatedly ran on the idea of getting rid of Obamacare to get re-elected - when his chance came to make it happen he flip-flopped.
McCain lied to every person in Arizona that voted for him.

yes, it DID happen. McCain campaigned on it the entire time of this 2016 re-election campaign. that was his main promise when asking for the votes of Arizonans. or were we to expect he would go back on that cause campaign promises don't count?
