Wife of late Sen. John McCain facing calls to resign from UN post over failure to distribute emergency food in Gaza: ‘Wild incompetence’

WASHINGTON — Calls are mounting in both Congress and the Trump administration for the widow of late Arizona Sen. John McCain to resign from or be forced out of her United Nations post overseeing food distribution in the Gaza Strip, following months of botched aid drop-offs and rampant looting by Hamas.

UN World Food Programme (WFP) Executive Director Cindy McCain has been criticized by ex-colleagues, lawmakers and officials for failing to work with Israel’s military and the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) to provide food, water and other assistance to Palestinians.

“If WFP was doing its job,” one senior US official told The Post, “Hamas wouldn’t be enriched and able to continue to prolong the war.”

“It’s wild incompetence,” this person added of McCain. “She’s either a useful idiot or she’s an active accomplice in what is ultimately an enormous, fraudulent use of taxpayer dollars.”

Another former WFP official called McCain “a disaster,” adding that she was known to be doing the job from her home state of Arizona — while the global agency she ostensibly runs is “taking orders” from other officials in New York.

“She’s treating this like it’s some kind of a board chairmanship that you don’t really have to show up for, and it’s not that,” the official fumed. “It’s a highly operational job.”

In August alone, all but two of 2,309 trucks were intercepted and cleared out in Gaza, either by starving Palestinians or “forcefully armed actors,” according to a UN data tracking dashboard.

Nearly 33 tons have been ransacked off the vehicles since May of this year.

Cindy McCain is why Arizona has a blue governor and statewide blue officers.

She used her Republican McCain machine to prevent pro-Trump republicans from being elected.

She was on 'Face the Nation' last Sunday crying about the poor starving Gazans while implying that Israel is blocking the shipments.

She obviously knows that Hamas and the occasionally faster tribal savages steal it all and then sell what they don't stuff down their gullets to the hungry at grossly inflated prices.

She doesn't need replacing. We need to get out of the UN entirely and kick their asses back to Europe. Or UAE, since it seems that's where most of their policies regarding the Middle East comes from.

Just another McCainiac grift operation.

NO thanks.

... UN World Food Programme (WFP) Executive Director Cindy McCain was appointed by UN Secretary-General António Guterres and Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) Director-General QU Dongyu. The appointment was made jointly after consultation with the WFP Executive Board in March 2023 ....

She was already heir to a beer company fortune when he hooked up with McStain. It’s not as if she needs the money.

Back 20 years ago, a FR member spotted a photo of Cindy wearing an “Emily’s List” Pin at a GOP event.
Emily’s List was an organization setup to place Liberal women in high level Gov jobs.

Her plan was to hang on till John died and then take his Senate seat.
She still rules key parts of the AZ GOP.

She is a active Liberal and has been for decades hiding deep in the GOP.
She still controls much of the AZ GOP.
