Except, he began by saying "He's not a war hero" I don't think this is about semantics, it is about whether he actually said the first part or not (which if I cared more about this I would check for myself, but I believe there is actual audio or videotape of him saying it).
Again, I don't care about any of this. I don't care about Trump, and I don't care about the hypersensitivity to saying anything offensive about McCain or veterans for that matter (I don't want to start a fight about that last - I used to work at the VA and am a big supporter of veterans, I just don't think it helps them to make it into some kind of sacred totem). But, for people who say they do care (like the FN audience) if they want to be consistent, they should be mad at Trump.
