‘You Loser! You Jerk!’: McCain Mocks Trump on Hugh Hewitt Show

Best Senate friends John McCain and Lindsey Graham appeared together on Friday’s edition of Hugh Hewitt’s radio show and before the interview got underway, McCain had a strongly-worded message for the host.

“Thank you very much, Hugh, you loser, you jerk,” McCain said as Hewitt and Graham chuckled in the background. “You inappropriate questioner. How dare you? Listen, Hugh, if you ask any tough questions to Lindsey or me, you are a loser. You understand? I want to lay that out before we begin this interview.”

Of course, McCain was imitating the way Donald Trump reacted after Hewitt tripped him up with the question about the Quds Force last week. In the days after that interview, Trump called Hewitt a “third-rate radio announcer” and ridiculed his “very low ratings” on Twitter.
