Take a lesson

President Donald Trump should take a lesson from the late Sen. John McCain, who, during the 2008 presidential campaign spoke out forcefully when a woman at a political event said she couldn’t trust then-presidential candidate Barack Obama because, according to her, Obama was an Arab. McCain was quick to stop and correct her. That’s what Trump should have done when the crowd at his recent North Carolina campaign rally started chanting, “send her back.” But of course we all know that Trump would never take the high road — especially if it means taking a lesson from McCain.
