Trump Questions Set Off Sen. John McCain

Sen. John McCain still refuses to talk about Donald Trump and, on Tuesday got angry when journalists asked him about the president-elect.

"I'm not talking about Trump. I'm not talking about Trump. I am not taking about Trump," he told journalists, The Hill reported. "I don't know how many times I have to tell you."

McCain has been at odds with Trump on several major issues, including torture and waterboarding, discussions on thawing relations with Russia, and his stance on NATO. He pulled his support for the Republican nominee in October when tape surfaced of Trump having extremely lewd conversations about women, including touting that he groped and kissed some without their consent.

Reporters continue to query McCain despite his predictable response. One reporter Tuesday asked him about Trump's tax plan and McCain got mad and raised his voice but "quickly apologized."

McCain just got mad at me for asking about Trump's tax plan - said he won't talk about Trump. He quickly apologized for raising his voice.

He later told them he promised to "start answering these stupid, idiotic questions" on the first of January.
