    Cindy McCain, the wife of the late Arizona Sen. John McCain (R), said in a new interview that she believes that her husband would be “very pleased” that President-elect Joe Biden won the race for the White House against President Trump. "I think my husband would be very pleased," Cindy McCain, who endorsed Biden and is serving as part of his transition team, told CNN late Monday. "We were good friends with the Bidens," she added. "And I just know he is looking down and going, 'You did the right thing.' "

    Cindy McCain, the widow of Republican Sen. John McCain, is joining the board of Joe Biden’s presidential transition team, according to a report on Monday. As a member of the advisory board, McCain will offer her input while the Democrat’s team turns his campaign promises into policies that can be enacted once he takes office, the Wall Street Journal reported. The GOPer — whose late husband served as Arizona senator and party stalwart for more than 30 years before dying of cancer in 2018 — is expected to advise the team on issues affecting women and children, the report said.

    President Trump’s campaign aides attempted to stop him from attacking the late Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) in hopes of clinching Arizona, The New York Times reported Wednesday. Campaign aides reportedly raised various theories about what led to Fox News announcing Arizona for Democratic nominee Joe Biden late Tuesday night, including that Trump did not stop criticizing McCain, a fellow Republican and former prisoner of war, even after he died in 2018. The Associated Press ultimately joined Fox News in calling the state for Biden. Some aides told the Times that Trump also had dismissed calls from Republican National Committee Chairwoman...

    “The View” co-host Meghan McCain touted the way her father handled defeat in 2008 and suggested President Trump and his family would “melt down” and create “absolute bedlam, anger, and hysteria” if they’re defeated by Democratic nominee Joe Biden. [Snip] “When my Dad lost in ‘08, he huddled my brothers and sisters in a corner and said buck up, we’re the luckiest people in the entire world and we’re not going to feel sorry for ourselves, we made history. He then thanked the secret service and told them to go home to their family,” McCain wrote in a tweet. “I...

  • The Chairman of the Presidential Debate Commission is Co-Founder of “Color Revolution” Org Linked to Steele Dossier and More

    Revolver News ^ | October 9, 2020
    Patriotic Americans have caught on to the fact that there is something deeply unfair about the presidential debates. The nominally Republican Chairman of Presidential Debate Commission, Frank Fahrenkopf, is both a co-founder and current board member of the International Republican Institute (IRI), a top “Color Revolution” propaganda outfit. The IRI was run by Never Trump neoconservative John McCain for decades. It is closely linked to the thoroughly discredited Steele Dossier at the center of the Russia Hoax. Bipartisanship in the Trump era all too often means that the corrupt establishment elements of both parties join arms to undermine Trump and...

    Cindy McCain, Sen. John McCain’s (R-AZ) widow, said on Tuesday broadcast of MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports” that she is supporting former Vice President Joe Biden because President Donald Trump has a “lack of empathy” and “kindness.” McCain said, “Well, I think Joe Biden’s purpose tonight is to talk directly to the American people and let them know where he stands and what he believes and where he feels he can lead this country if elected president. He’s up against an opponent that has a very special relationship with the truth. So I think as long as he focuses on what...

    "I hardly know Cindy McCain other than having put her on a Committee at her husband’s request," Trump tweeted Wednesday morning. "Joe Biden was John McCain’s lapdog. So many BAD decisions on Endless Wars & the V.A., which I brought from a horror show to HIGH APPROVAL. Never a fan of John. Cindy can have Sleepy Joe!"

    Former Vice President Joe Biden is touting the endorsement of Cindy McCain, the widow of the late Sen. John McCain (R-AZ). Biden claimed Monday — falsely — that President Donald Trump had disparaged soldiers as “suckers” and “losers.” Biden actually said far worse about McCain while he was still alive, and the two were on opposing sides in the 2008 election.

    Cindy McCain has endorsed Democrat Joe Biden for president in a rebuke of President Donald Trump by the widow of the Republican Party’s 2008 nominee. Trump has had a fraught relationship with John McCain’s family since he disparaged the Arizona senator during the 2016 campaign. But the family has until now stopped short of endorsing Trump’s rivals. Cindy McCain cited the decadeslong friendship between her family and Biden’s and their bond as the parents of children serving in the military. “He supports the troops and knows what it means for someone who has served,” McCain told The Associated Press in...

    Democratic nominee Joe Biden said Tuesday that Cindy McCain, the wife of the late Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), will endorse him for president. Biden made the announcement during a virtual fundraiser, saying Cindy McCain made the decision due to President Trump’s reported comments about fallen service members detailed in The Atlantic earlier this month. “Maybe I shouldn’t say it but I'm about to go on one of these Zooms with John McCain's wife, who is first time ever is endorsing me because of what he talks about with my son and John’s who are heroes, who served their country, you...

    A woman voting at Tuesday’s primary found an unorthodox way of protesting the town moderator, who ruled her T-shirt was a form of electioneering: She took it off and voted topless. Town Moderator Paul Scafidi said the woman walked into the Talbot Gymnasium in the afternoon wearing a “McCain Hero, Trump Zero” T-shirt. As a ballot clerk was checking her name off the voter list, Scafidi said he informed the woman she could not wear a shirt with a political candidate featured on it while she voted. Scafidi said another woman nearby was wearing a T-shirt supporting the American flag...

    The Federalist publisher Ben Domenech took aim at The Atlantic Editor-in-Chief Jeffrey Goldberg, who authored the bombshell report alleging that President Trump disparaged fallen soldiers. Domenech is the husband of Meghan McCain and son-in-law of the late Arizona Sen. John McCain. Trump and the late senator were known to have sparred, but despite that, Domenech appeared to side with Trump in the latest controversy. Trump and many from the White House staff forcibly have denied the allegations published in The Atlantic on Thursday evening, alleging, according to four unnamed sources, that the president referred to dead soldiers buried at the...

    s their preferred candidate crashes in national polls and the race tightens to a dead heat in Joe Biden’s must-win states, NeverTrump “conservatives” are once again taking their marching orders from Democrats. The death, destruction, and mayhem besieging Democratic-run cities across the country, NeverTrump dutifully recites, is all Donald Trump’s fault. Team Biden crafted the inane talking points to deflect concerns that the violence in cities such as Portland and Kenosha rapidly was backfiring on Democrats; scenes of angry mobs attacking Trump supporters, including Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and his wife, leaving the White House late Thursday night after the...

    The associate of John McCain who spread anti-Trump dossier claims around Washington planned to leak a story to Washington Post columnist David Ignatius about Paul Manafort, according to court testimony. Ignatius wrote the Jan. 12, 2017 column that eventually doomed retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn. The source was an Obama administration official, Ignatius wrote. The McCain evidence emerged in a London courtroom, where dossier creator Christopher Steele faces a defamation lawsuit from a Russian CEO. Steele compiled the dossier for the Democratic Party. After Trump won the presidency Steele provided memo copies to the Republican McCain and his associate David...

    Several hundred former aides to President George W. Bush and Sen. John McCain announced Thursday that they are endorsing Joe Biden for president. The statements of support for the Democratic nominee come as President Donald Trump prepares to accept his party's nomination on the final night of the Republican National Convention. A political action committee, 43 Alumni for Biden, that launched last month posted a list of nearly 300 members of the Bush administration or campaigns who are publicly backing Biden. The names range from members of the Cabinet, including former Secretary of Commerce Carlos Gutierrez and former Secretary of Agriculture Ann Veneman,...
