Statement - Donald Trump's Comments Make Him Unfit to be Commander-in-Chief

July 18, 2015

AUSTIN — Today Governor Perry released the following statement in response to Donald Trump's reprehensible comments on Senator John McCain.

"Donald Trump should apologize immediately for attacking Senator McCain and all veterans who have protected and served our country. As a veteran and an American, I respect Sen. McCain because he volunteered to serve his country. I cannot say the same of Mr. Trump. His comments have reached a new low in American politics. His attack on veterans make him unfit to be Commander-in-Chief of the U.S. Armed Forces, and he should immediately withdraw from the race for President."
