http://www.politico.com/story/2016/08/mccain-statement-226495this should be a big one
EDIT: excerpts, full statement coming
In recent days, Donald Trump disparaged a fallen soldiers parents. He has suggested that the likes of their son should not be allowed in the United States to say nothing of entering its service, McCain said in a statement released by his office Monday. I cannot emphasize enough how deeply I disagree with Mr. Trumps statement. I hope Americans understand that the remarks do not represent the views of our Republican Party, its officers, or candidates.
...............
In his statement, McCain said he was morally bound to speak only to the things that command my allegiance, specifically naming the Republican Party
"Lastly, Id like to say to Mr. and Mrs. Khan: thank you for immigrating to America, McCain said in closing his statement. Were a better country because of you. And you are certainly right; your son was the best of America, and the memory of his sacrifice will make us a better nation and he will never be forgotten."
