WFB: Cindy McCain, the widow of longtime Arizona senator John McCain, said she was “disappointed” in Kentucky Democratic Senate candidate Amy McGrath’s use of her husband in an attack ad.
McCain tweeted that she disapproved of McGrath’s use of her late husband’s image in a “partisan attack ad” against Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.), who McCain described as her husband’s “good friend.”
“John’s memory should be used [to] promote common ground and civility not to stoke division,” McCain wrote.
McGrath responded by claiming she had reached out to a member of McCain’s family and “received encouragement.” She said she will keep the ad up “to honor Sen. McCain’s historic vote” against repealing the Affordable Care Act in 2017.
The attack ad against McConnell featured footage of John McCain voting on the Senate floor against the GOP-led effort to repeal the Affordable Care Act. McGrath narrated the ad, warning viewers that “we can’t let Mitch McConnell return to the Senate to try again.”
McGrath has a history of using Republican politicians in her advertisements against their wishes. Republican governors Mike DeWine (Ohio) and Larry Hogan (Md.) criticized McGrath for using their images in a May attack ad that contrasted the governors with McConnell and criticized McConnell’s leadership during the coronavirus crisis. more
Who the hell wants to be reminded of John McStain anyway? Man. First they desecrate George Floyd’s corpse by dragging it around the country now they conjur up this asshole from the dead. What’s next democrats? A necrophilia gang bang in the Rotunda?
I developed a dislike for Az republicans who kept putting this guy in office when they had several chances to elect a real conservative.
Hey, Cindy, your husband made himself into the useful idiot the Dems are using, even in death. All of the Democrats at his funerals should have been your clue to what was coming.
I believe what Gary Byrne said about McCain.
He was only nice on camera.
So too bad Cindy.
Go home.
Ha! Good friend indeed! Unless McStain had a dog, he didn’t have any good friends! John “Wet-Fart” McCain wuz just a rogue RHINO who never knew the difference between “Reach Across the Isle” and a “Reach Around”!
Mccain was a POS rat. He should be dug out of Arlington and dumped into an antifa no-go zone, where he belongs.
““John’s memory should be used [to] promote common ground and civility not to stoke division,” McCain wrote.” – Hey Cindy, we are uniting…around despising your late husband.
Her late husband’s image should be used to line birdcages.
Missuz McShitstain needs to STFU, go away, and take her fat, ugly, stupid daughter with her. Her husband’s time in the Senate was painful and divisive for the nation. NO ONE wants to remember this worthless back stabbing traitor.
John Mccain was not well liked at all here in Arizona, so it remains baffling to me how this man was re-elected time after time. Guess the swamp had a lot to do with it.
Cindy McCain shouldn’t fret over this ad since she is a Biden backer, so you may as well back another Democrat, and while your at it Cindy, put a D in front of your name, it fits you better than an R.
Well, Ms Kitty he was popular enough in the beginning to be re elected several times
And one of the reasons for this, I’m ashamed to admit, is that we knew he was a DC brat — which meant he’d insure AZ would get its fair share of the slop at the DC trough
It was only after he started siding with Obama that I started to realize what Sen Cross-The-Aisle was all about
Maybe I can talk some sense into Cindy. After all, my own mother may have saved her from a case of heat stroke by giving her a glass of water and some advice
You see, in September of McCain first campaign back in the Eighties, Cindy is walking neighborhoods, not realizing that September in Phoenix is still dangerously hot. Mom took one look at her and said, “Dear, you dont look good, you need water.”
Then she advised her to stop for the day
So to Cindy McCain let me say this, “My Mother dint prevent you from frying your own brain due to your pathological ignorance of Phoenix heat so that you would be pulling this Marie Antoinette shit …’kay? So knock it off.
Another prime example for the repeal of the 19th Amendment!
