Cindy McCain details husband’s friendship with Biden for DNC
Dissociated Press ^ | August 19, 2020 | Alexandra Jaffe

Cindy McCain is going to bat for Joe Biden, lending her voice to a video set to air during Tuesday night’s Democratic National Convention programming focused on Biden’s close friendship with her late husband, Republican Sen. John McCain of Arizona.

She’s just the latest Republican to join in the convention, after a number of notable GOP former elected officials — including former Ohio Gov. John Kasich — endorsed the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee on Monday night. It’s a continuation of a major theme that Democrats have pushed through the first night of the convention — an effort to broaden the party’s appeal to occasional Republicans and disaffected Trump voters.

In an advance clip from the video shared with The Associated Press, Cindy McCain talks about how Biden, then a Delaware senator, met her husband when John McCain was assigned to be a military aide for him on a trip overseas. The two became friends, and the families would gather for picnics in the Bidens’ backyard.

“They would just sit and joke. It was like a comedy show, sometimes, to watch the two of them,” she says in the clip.

Cindy McCain is not expected to offer an explicit endorsement, but her involvement in the video is her biggest public show of support yet for Biden’s candidacy. …

The Democ🐀 needed fake republicans to prop up their convention. The spotlighted Powell, the guy they attacked relentlessly for lying about WMD. And how about all those Harvey Weinstein democrats.

I thought McCain was a scumbag in 1989, with the Keating five scandal.

30 years later, I trust my instincts more than ever. He was surrounded by scumbags.

She was quoted earlier this year that she wouldn’t vote for Trump but she wanted to downplay her support for the Dems so it wouldn’t hurt the career of her son, running for some office as a “Republican” in Arizona. Anyone know who this is and what office he is running for? I would like to donate to his opponent.

Actually the Keating 5 deal is the only thing I DO NOT blame McCain for...

He was set up in that and the only reason he was even included was just to have at least one Republican.

He might have sold out to the dems at that point to get let off, and been indebted to them ever since. That would explain a bunch (but not everything songbird-wetstart McCain did)

Disgusting.

So glad Trump pulled out all the stops for the McCain funeral. They are very appreciative people.

Cindy McCain details husband’s friendship with Biden

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Friendship with McStain: another reason NOT to vote for Biden, not that we need one ... the list for “no to Joe” is a long one.

If Biden hasn’t already locked up the skanky whore vote, he’ll be a step closer after this.

Is it legal to pee on McCain’s grave site? Just asking for a friend.

Dear AP,

If you're going to publish a story about Cindy McCain, don't give us a picture of John McCain holding hands with a fellow traitor.

Now, now. McCain is one of the few Cold War aces! He got shot down in, burned up in, destroyed, crashed, or ejected from FIVE US Navy planes.

Very dang few other Russians can say that.
