Nunberg later defended the post with CNBC’s Brian Schwartz, saying “I despise John McCain”:
Just spoke @NunbergSam about this. "I may not like Donald and I don’t think Donald likes me but I despise John McCain. He’s an American war hero and he wants to be judged on his political record,and it’s abysmal. McCain's old school way of politics doesn’t work anymore," he said. https://t.co/5ShHJsKwvF
