Republican Sen. Johnny Isakson says Trump to get 'whipping' over John McCain attacks

The Georgia senator isn’t alone in defending his late colleague, but he’s the most forceful Senate Republican to do so.

WASHINGTON – Donald Trump's renewed rhetorical attacks on John McCain are not sitting well with other Republicans – particularly one senator who said he plans to deliver a verbal "whipping" to the president. Sen. Johnny Isakson, R-Ga., told the website The Bulwark that he plans to give a speech Wednesday on Trump's criticisms of the late Arizona senator, who was the GOP presidential nominee in 2008. “I just want to lay it on the line, that the country deserves better," Isakson said. "The McCain family deserves better, I don’t care if he’s president of United States, owns all the real estate in New York, or is building the greatest immigration system in the world." He added: "Nothing is more important than the integrity of the country and those who fought and risked their lives for all of us.” When McCain died in August, Isakson said on the floor of the Senate that "anybody who in any way tarnishes the reputation of John McCain deserves a whipping."

Another former Republican presidential nominee, Utah Sen. Mitt Romney, also criticized Trump's tart comments about McCain. "I can’t understand why the President would, once again, disparage a man as exemplary as my friend John McCain: heroic, courageous, patriotic, honorable, self-effacing, self-sacrificing, empathetic, and driven by duty to family, country, and God," Romney wrote Tuesday on Twitter.

We'll see. So far the extent of any "Whipping" or criticism of Trump from the GOP has been lack luster and the equivalent of just saying "Don't do that again" after he does it again for the 4th time.

It is true, we will have to see how strongly his condemnation is. Though in the end, I'm not sure what sort of "whipping" they can give. They certainly cannot stop Trump from running his mouth or tweeting his childish nonsense.
 
Verbal "whipping"... aka any other day in Congress watching these guys speak about any number of things.

In a speech on the Senate floor, today. He didn't infer a literal whipping lol.
 
More political correctness run amok.

Regardless of how one feels about the late John McCain, what is it that makes him untouchable?
This is all phony outrage coming from the usual haters, and trumped up :bs coming from the old guard, the political class.

Go ahead and give the POTUS a "verbal whipping", you stupid old fool.


Last August, Isakson said on the floor of the Senate that “anybody who in any way tarnishes the reputation of John McCain deserves a whipping.”

There's a huge difference between tarnishing a rep.
and speaking truthfully about things he did.

It was in the OP. Why did *you* have to repeat/emphasize it? People here can read.
