Exclusive: John McCain’s son decries Trump appearance at Arlington as a ‘violation’ that turned cemetery into campaign backdrop
CNN ^ | 9/3/24 | Natasha Bertrand

When former President Donald Trump held a campaign event at Arlington National Cemetery last week, 1st Lt. Jimmy McCain says he viewed it as a “violation.”

The youngest son of the late Sen. John McCain had already been moving away from the Republican Party — just weeks ago, he changed his voter registration to Democrat and plans to vote for Kamala Harris in November, he told CNN in an exclusive interview this week.

But he is speaking out now for the first time about Trump because of the former president’s conduct at the hallowed ground where several generations of McCain’s family, including his grandfather and great grandfather, are buried.

And yet the Gold Star families invited Trump and were thrilled to have him there.

In contrast, FJB and Camilla have yet to contact the families of the 13 soldiers they killed and express their condolences/apologies.

Not anything against you for posting this but, in general, why is this guy’s opinion significant in any way? And I say the same thing about a similarly obscure pseudo-political “celebrity” that was favoring Trump. Who thinks his opinion is worth a pail of warm spit?

“...he ... plans to vote for Kamala Harris ...”

Low T (by definition).

There are supplements you can take for that.

Their pain is that Kamala cannot do the same because the blood is on her hands, that is why the soldiers’ families would never invite her as they did with Trump.

Look at post #1!

I posted this because the dip$hit made the pearl clutching accusation of Trump dishonoring the dead by taking pictures there while ignoring his warmongering father’s political ad that was filmed there.

You don’t get a little amused by that?

While he recovers from the vapors over Trump's "violation", did he happen to mention how he feels about the valor stealing fat bastard attached to the ticket he has announced support for? Since you know, he just thinks "...that for anyone who’s done a lot of time in their uniform, they just understand that inherently — that it’s not about you there. It’s about these people who gave the ultimate sacrifice in the name of their country.”

Seems odd he would support such a ticket given his powerful devotion to duty, honor, and country. Or maybe he's just a useless uniparty prick like his father was.
