Cindy McCain says late husband wouldn’t recognize GOP today
The Hill ^ | 07/07/22 1:57 PM ET | BY JULIA MUELLER

Cindy McCain said the Republican Party has lost its way and that her late husband, former Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), would be pushing back if he were still alive.

“I don’t believe my husband would recognize it,” McCain said of the GOP on “MSNBC Reports” Thursday morning.

“I do know one thing: He would be fighting like the dickens to pull it back together and bring it back to what it was during previous Republican administrations and previous administrations as well.”

McCain now serves as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations Agencies for Food and Agriculture in Rome.

President Biden, who nominated her for the role, will award John McCain with a posthumous Presidential Medal of Freedom on Thursday.

The across-the-aisle gesture from Biden, Cindy McCain said, is an example of the bipartisanship that her husband pushed for during his tenure in the Senate — and the bipartisanship that today’s GOP is lacking.

“I’m still a Republican. I believe in the party, and I believe in what we stand for,” McCain said, “but right now, we’ve lost our way.”

Shallow.

The Democrats have gone so far to the Leftward extreme that they've almost fallen off the political spectrum and Cindy can't understand why the opposition party (the GOP) has had to change to balance the scales?

Yes, we are well aware that John McCain was a traitor until the end.

Thankfully he’s incommunicado.

There are many heroes who lost their lives fighting for America who would not recognize their country today, Mrs. McCain - and the closest representation of what they fought for is the America represented by the Trump supporting GOP.

This woman only knows the GOP from her rarified perch. We the People decide when our parties are to be reformed. Power holders and hangers-on have the Swamp Spirit.

My father, a Korean and Viet Nam war vet, wouldn’t recognize the US today.

So we she misses the days when McCain crossed the aisle to join with Democrats to form the “Keating Five”.

That’s fair, us Republicans didn’t recognize John McStain as a Republican.

“I do know one thing: He would be fighting like the dickens to pull it back together and bring it back to what it was during previous Republican administrations and previous administrations as well.”

That's why we love Trump and hated McCain.

Many Republicans didn't recognize him back then, either.

We really did not change.

We still support the same things we always supported....life, second amendment, fiscal control.

The left has gone from “safe, rare and legal” to infanticide, from firearm restrictions to confiscation and from fiscal sanity to unlimited spending.

Cindy McCain does not know anything.

That’s the whole idea, Cindy! Clean up the corruption - clean up the party. Burying your criminal husband was just the start.

Does anybody recognize the Democratic Party either these days? The reason the republicans are what we are is because the damn dims have pushed and pushed us into having to fight back against these socialists. Ol’ Cindy should be glad the real republicans are what we have become because these buddies of hers do not give a cats ass about her. Sarah Palin, McCains VP running mate was ever so aware of the task ahead of us.
