Fact-checking President Trump's claim that John McCain misled the White House on his Obamacare repeal vote
Facts First: Trump falsely accused McCain of misleading the White House over his intention to vote on the GOP drafted bill to repeal Obamacare -- but McCain on several occasions publicly expressed his opposition prior to the vote. McCain did, however, campaign on repealing it.
McCain had kept the Capitol waiting in suspense in the hours leading up to the final vote on the so-called"skinny" repeal and replace legislation which came two days later. McCain was always undecided, and had been a loud critic of the GOP leadership's secretive and rushed approach to drafting the bill. The details of the GOP repeal bill were unclear even up until the day of the vote because they were constantly tinkering to see what would actually be able to pass.
