A spokesperson for Fox News said they have banished the guest who said torture “worked” on Sen. John McCain, calling him a “songbird” for his five years spent a prisoner of war in Vietnam.
Air Force veteran and former military analyst Thomas McInerney caused massive outrage yesterday for his interview on Fox Business Network where he bashed McCain for his opposition to Gina Haspel‘s nomination as CIA Director. McCain opposes Haspel because of her history overseeing the use of enhanced interrogation techniques, and when McInerney spoke to Charles Payne about this, he bashed the Arizona senator.
“The fact is John McCain — [torture] worked on John. That’s why they call him ‘Songbird John.’ The fact is those methods can work, and they are effective,” McInerney said.
Payne didn’t challenge McInerney’s remarks during the interview, but he later claimed in a public statement that a producer was talking in his ear, so he couldn’t hear the objectionable comments while they were being made. Fox has also offered an apology to the McCain family.
The Arizona senator’s wife, Cindy McCain, took to Twitter to request that the network chooses its guests “more wisely.”
As for McInerney, who has a history of making controversial comments, network representatives said they won’t be booking him on Fox News ever again.

Rather inappropriate comment. Now, let’s see them start cleaning house of others.
One America News.
Expose the entire clan including what his father did while No Name was in Nam.
It was the threat of torture. People in the POW camp said he was never tortured but that they were.
“massive outrage” LOL
The carrier fire had nothing to do with him. Just look into Adm mclame’s attention to the story.
Had enough yet?
Lately all Fox has on are grinning, airhead Liberals. Watching Tucker Carlson, brow furrowed like he’s in shock, not being able to shut smug, grinning RATs down makes me turn him off within 10 minutes. Come on Tucker, you should have the facts to dispute RAT lies. Tucker can’t even shut them down when they talk over him.
At least, BOR should shut RATs up.
He says so in his own Autobiography
I heard him say in his own words .... “that’s when I broke” ... in an interview about POWs and torture.
Truth hurts, FoxNews idiots.
The truth is offensive to Fox News.
“Rather inappropriate comment.”
Songbird McCain has been a traitor to this country and those, who served in the military during his treason and for decades after.
It’s going to be Meghan, she’s been practicing acting conservative on the View.
Some Freepers are even buying it.
She is an open borders loon just like her father.
Cindy McCrazy can shove it up her @$$ too!

The only show on Fox I can stomach is Hannity.
I have no desire or need whatsoever to hear what anyone on the left thinks about anything.
And even Hannity gets a bit rough for me at times, because he continues, for whatever reason, to bring Jessica Tarlov on the show along side of Watters as if she has something of value to add to a conversation as opposed to being a total waste of my time and hard on my ears with that voice.
