Biden kissed John McCain's memorial in Vietnam

Political analyst Meghan McCain, the daughter of former Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), responded on Monday to comments made by Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake (R) about her father, calling them “bile trash.” “Everyone has been asking me for comment on this bile trash from Kari Lake,” wrote McCain over Twitter in response to an article discussing Lake’s remarks.

Cindy McCain, the widow of the late Senator John McCain, said her husband wouldn't recognize today's Republican Party.

American presidents for the past several decades, since the end of the presidency of Ronald Reagan, have had a pretty abysmal record when it comes to the U.S. geopolitical relationship with Russia and Vladimir Putin. -snip- In 2013, my father participated in freedom protests in Kiev alongside Democratic Senator Chris Murphy and spoke in front of thousands of protestors. He told them 'We support your just cause, the sovereign right of Ukraine to determine its own destiny freely and independently. And the destiny you seek lies in Europe.' In 2014, following the invasion and annexation of Crimea by Russia my...

He then shopped it around and then supplied the FBI with a copy of it in hopes that Hillary would be president.And it doesn’t surprise us that George...

Cindy McCain, the spouse of the late Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), said Friday on ABC’s “The View” that she was “proud” she helped President Joe Biden win the 2020 presidential election with her endorsement. Co-host Joy Behar said, “You famously crossed party lines and took a lot of heat to endorse Joe Biden for president in 2020. Were you surprised by how much pushback you got, and how big a leap was it for you to put yourself out there like that? That must have been rough.”

John McCain will be the subject of an upcoming biopic about his life and decades-long career in politics.

This is one of America’s darkest days. I have been absolutely despondent watching this. I’m here in D.C.

Meghan McCain hit back at President Trump early Friday morning after he criticized her father, the late Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), in a tweet. "Two years after he died, you still obsess over my dad. It kills you that no one will ever love you or remember you like they loved and remember him. He served his country with honor, you have disgraced the office of the presidency," she tweeted, responding to Trump advising people to "check out last in his class John McCain, one of the most overrated people in D.C." in an earlier tweet. "You couldn't even pull...

This seems particularly unhinged. The media is constantly buzzing about how President Trump is unstable, but McCain’s behavior seems a bit…unusual. Presidential hopeful Senator Amy Klobuchar told a crowd on the campaign trail that the late John McCain muttered the names of dictators as he watched Donald Trump’s inauguration. “John McCain kept reciting to me names of dictators during that speech,” the Minnesota senator said, “because he knew more than any of what we were facing as a nation, he understood it.” She continued: “He knew because he knew this man more than any of us did.” Or it was...

The late Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) listed off the names of dictators while watching President Trump's inauguration, according to Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.).

Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) during Trump's inaugural address. “I sat on that stage between Bernie and John McCain, and John McCain kept reciting to me names of dictators during that speech because he knew more than any of us what we were facing as a nation,” she said. “He understood...

President Trump should award John McCain, who died on Saturday, the Medal of Honor. The posthumous award would recognize the senator’s extraordinary heroism during his five years of captivity in North Vietnam, when he was tortured mercilessly, leaving him disabled for life. The compassionate and respectful gesture might also help to heal some deep wounds in the Republican Party. McCain was a Navy fighter pilot when his plane was shot down on a mission over the North Vietnamese capital of Hanoi in 1967. He fractured both arms and one leg when he was ejected from his jet and nearly drowned...

McCain leaves a legacy of standing up for his beliefs Holly BaileyNational Correspondent,Yahoo News•August 26, 2018 Scroll back up to restore default view.

But in the fall of 2008, during his...
