McCain's cousin Kenyata McCain said she can't believe allegations that her cousin is linked to a terrorist group.
"We're from Chicago. We grew up in Minnesota. He's not a terrorist -- that's crazy," she told CNN affiliate KARE.
"His religion was very important to him, but those people -- the ISIS people -- they don't represent what my cousin's beliefs are or were at all."
Kenyata McCain wondered if her cousin may have gotten caught up in the wrong crowd.
"Why was he in Syria? ... What kind of people was he hanging around? I feel like maybe it was the people he was hanging out with because that's not who he is. He's not ISIS," she said.
I guess he just went over there to play some pick-up basketball and fell in with the wrong crowd.
Typical family member in denial. “He was such a good guy”.....
It’s never their own fault with these people. I’m sick and tired of the toddler excuses we hear from these clowns. Really....
“”Why was he in Syria? ... What kind of people was he hanging around? I feel like maybe it was the people he was hanging out with because that’s not who he is. He’s not ISIS,” she said.”
