John McCain Condemns Controversy Over Fallen Soldier In Niger

U.S. Sen. John McCain made an appearance on ABC’s "The View" Monday and discussed his opinion on tension over the death of an American soldier.

While on air with his daughter Meghan, a co-host for the show, McCain expressed disapproval of the controversy surrounding President Trump and the widow of a fallen soldier in Niger.

“My friends, we should not be fighting about a brave American who lost his life serving his country," McCain said. "That should not be a topic of discussion in America today.”

The story gained national attention after the widow of fallen soldier, Sgt. La David Johnson, criticized comments and the tone of President Trump during a phone call.
