"John McCain is a war hero, he's a friend of mine," Ernst told reporters after the event. "I can't stop the president. What I can do is say, 'Mr. President, I don't appreciate it.' You know, they had their differences, I get it, but he's my friend."

“A lot of folks will say, ‘Can’t you control...?‘ No folks, anymore more than I can control what you all say and do," she said. "But what I can do is control what I say and do, and I try to lead by example and be respectful."
