McCains Sickness The Real American Hero!
President Trump decided against releasing an official White House statement on Sen. John McCain following his death, two administration sources confirmed to Fox News.
The statement would have praised him for his decades of service and his heroism as a Vietnam War POW. White House Chief of Staff John Kelly, Press Secretary Sarah Sanders and other senior aides all had pushed for such a statement, which would have called McCain a “hero.”
The president, however, rejected the statement and instead issued a brief tweet Saturday night following the legendary Arizona Republican senator’s death.

The tweet said, “My deepest sympathies and respect go out to the family of Senator John McCain. Our hearts and prayers are with you!”
The decision on the statement was first reported by The Washington Post.
Trump’s decision speaks to the longstanding feud between the two men, dating back to when Trump, as a candidate, said McCain was not a war hero and seemed to fault him for being captured during the Vietnam War. McCain endured five years in captivity, an experience that later shaped his views, as a senator, on interrogation techniques. Known as the Senate’s “maverick,” McCain often bucked party ideology, earning him praise on Democratic side of the aisle and sometimes criticism from his own party – but he remained an influential voice even through his battle with brain cancer. He twice ran for president and was the Republican Party’s presidential nominee in 2008.

Sure I know he has passed , but the truth is?
I hope you will find this interesting posted by a few friend of mine on FB: McCain will now answer to a higher power!
Jerry Gomez Luna: Borrowed article::: After doing some research, this is a true account of McCain’s actions
McCain’s real legacy is: His father was the Admiral in charge of the Pacific fleet prosecuting the war in Vietnam.
Because of this McCain got preferential treatment in the Navy. He was allowed to become a Navy pilot. But he was a terrible pilot.
McCain crashed two navy Jets in his early career. Then while aboard the Aircraft Carrier USS Forrestal, McCain got angry because he had to wait in line to take off on a bombing run.
He shut off his engines, opened the cockpit, and in his haste to exit the aircraft to chew someone out about his having to ” wait”, he hit the button that released his live bombs onto the deck of the Forrestal.
He took off running, as the bombs exploded, which set off a chain reaction of bombs from adjacent aircraft, and the ensuing explosions and fires killed 133 sailors aboard the Forrestal.
While his fellow sailors were fighting the fire, McCain went to the pilot’s lounge below decks and watched the men fight the fire on closed circuit TV.
Hours later, McCain took off with a New York Times reporter buddy of his, and went on to say that after seeing the effects of those bombs on the Forrestal, he was beginning to question the morality of dropping those bombs on the Viet Cong.
McCain was the direct cause of 133 deaths on his own ship, and was never reprimanded. He was nowhere to be found as the Forrestal had to limp to the Philippines for months of repair work.
McCain was married then. His wife was stricken with debilitating injuries in an automobile accident. And was hospitalized for more than 5 months. McCain was off gallivanting with anything in a skirt.
Upon returning from Vietnam Nam, McCain found his wife was disfigured by her injuries, which included a shattered pelvis, arm, and legs. In order to save her legs, doctors performed 23 surgeries on her, and had to remove significant portions of the bones in her legs, which left he shorter, and unable to walk, and in a wheelchair, she had to use a catheter.
McCain was disinterested in his first wife’s predicament. She had to go through grueling physical therapy to learn to walk again.
After McCain left the Navy, he was intent on a career in politics. He and His wife Carol had gotten to know Ronald and Nancy Reagan, and McCain was eager to jump into politics.
But he decided he needed a more visually pleasing young woman by his side. He callously divorced Carol, the mother of his three children, and immediately jumped into the sack with new wife Cindy, who was 18 years younger.
Upon learning of this, the Reagans were shocked and angered by how he had treated Carol.
While campaigning for congress, McCain used pictures of himself posing with Mr. And Mrs. Reagan, but there was no hearty endorsement offered by the Reagans.
McCain’s new young wife was also an heiress to an Arizona Brewing fortune.
And let us not forget McCain was one of the Keating 5, who had helped swindle life savings from countless Americans in the Savings and Loan scandal of the 1980’s. McCain was in it up to his eyeballs.
Yet McCain was well-connected in Washington, and parlayed his connections into a seat in the United States Senate.
So before the tearful tributes to John McCain, be sure you remember the facts about this self-proclaimed Maverick. The facts do not agree with that portrait of a heroic patriot and great American.
With due respect to his family, John McCain was never the great man so many portray him as.
I do not wish the man any harm or ill-will. But neither should we allow this false narrative fairy-tale about this scoundrel of a man as he faces his eternal fate. can see what John McCain really is……

Just because someone is in the military or is a veteran, does not automatically make them a ‘hero’. John Kerry is a perfect example, few people in American history have done more to endanger American foreign interests than John Kerry as Secretary of State under Obama, through their anti-American destabilizing policies from Russia to Egypt to Iran. John McCain has also ‘used’ his military, and POW, experiences to market himself as a ‘hero’ to further his political career, brandishing that experience as a weapon to morally shame and castigate all who criticized his policies no matter how damaging to ‘American’ interests they may have been. McCain was not a ‘maverick’, he was an obstructionist. The fewer Kerry’s and McCain’s we have in political offices, the better.
Agree. McCain was not a hero. He was an angry man with too much power, who displayed that anger when he turned thumbs down on fixing Obama’s mess. That was an “up yours” to the majority of Americans (and the POTUS) looking for his PROMISED support to end the terrible Obama Care.
The Fraud and Usurper barack hussein obama was NOT A LEGAL sitting US President and the Songbird of the Hanoi Hilton John Sidney McCain knew it from the get go 2008 . John McCain along with John Kerry are two treasonous piles of garbage that got away with their crimes
God has John McCain now & will judge him, accordingly. He leaves a public Legacy of Anger & Bitterness, toward the Duly Elected President of the United States, who is a Magnificent Leader & has sent the Proper Respects to the McCain Family.
Nothing more can be asked by the Bereaved Family.
I think McCain is being exalted above what he deserves.
I had a brother in WW2, who was a forward scout with Patton’s Third Army, in battles of The Bulge, and Battle of Bastone, and he was happy with no adulation. Another brother was in CBI Theater for 33 months, with Army Air Corps, on a jungle air base, being often bombed at night with mortar fire, and he received no adulation, but was simply thankful to get home safe and whole.
McCain asked that the President not give him special recognition, and the president honored his request, but did note and acknowledge the loss to his family. So, why castigate the president for honoring MCain’s request.
Thank you to Joseph Morgan, I think the same way that you think. President Trump responded correctly & graciously. He extended his Sympathy to the Bereaved Family of Senator John McCain.
President Trump is a Great, Strong Leader & he does not stoop to use the contrived Language of the Swamp Rats. May God Bless Our President!
the songbird of Hanoi never was a hero, he is a traitor and fraud in everything he has done. he has contributed to hate, anger and divisions, and i hope he is receiving he Judgement for everything he has done. he ” endured” 5 years in a private room in a motel in Hanoi recording treasonous anti American statements played on propagandist radio…and gave up details on our air capabilities that resulted in the deaths of over 100 REAL HEROES. may he rot in hell for eternity. The fact the left is lauding him as some sort of messiah a decade after they called him a war monger, racist etc. …should speak volumes to his ” legacy”
The various versions of the fire on the USS Forrestal about July 29, 1967, are documented to trace to LtCdr John McCain. The fire and subsequent explosions killed 134 sailors, injured an additional 161, placed the Forrestal in Dry Dock for over a year for repairs that cost 72 Million dollars. That was 1967 when the US dollar had value. For accurate documentation of the USS Forrestal destruction, a doctoral thesis by a US Navy LCDR provides extensive details without naming names. To pull in the thesis, search the web with the phrase_ pdf THE IMPACT OF THE USS FORRESTAL’S 1967 FIRE ON UNITED STATES NAVY
Had John McCain not had a father and grandfather who were admirals, he would have received the punishment he deserved. He would have been court-martialed, and expunged from the US Navy; at the very least. He would have been DISqualified for election to congress. Which would have spared Americans, the US government and the world, fifty-one (51) years of McCain´s narcissistic subterfuge. Had the voters of Arizona known the facts about John McCain instead of the “elite propaganda”, or fake news, that continues to be provided by the owners of the MSM throughout the western world, it is not likely they would have elected and re-elected John McCain. Hopefully, Arizonans will now acquire a patriot, instead of a narcissist who is supported by the owners of 96% of fake news releases.
The comment of president Trump shows appropriate sympathy to the family; more is undeserved.
