1st Lt. Jimmy Mc Cain, youngest son of the late Sen. John Mc Cain Has endorsed Harris for president and will be active in this Election. John McCain’s son Re-Registered as a Democrat
Trumps apparent disrespect for the hallowed ground of Arlington Cemetery by using the cemetery as a campaign event. His actions has enraged the youngest son of the late senator John Mc Cain. 1st Lt., Jimmy Mc Cain the youngest son of the late Sen. John McCain had already been moving away from the Republican Party and just weeks ago, he changed his voter registration to Democrat and plans to vote for Kamala Harris in November. 1st Lt. Mc Cain has served in the military for 17 years. Mc Cain goes on to say, these men and women that are laying in the ground there have no choice” of whether to be a backdrop for a political campaign. “I just think that for anyone who’s done a lot of time in their uniform, they just understand that inherently, that it’s not about you there. It’s about these people who gave the ultimate sacrifice in the name of their country. His change in voter registration and public comments about voting Democrat is noteworthy for the son of a former GOP presidential candidate and Arizona senator. While other members of the McCain family have distanced themselves from Trump, including Jimmy McCain’s mother Cindy, who endorsed then-candidate Joe Biden in 2020, and his sister Meghan. None of the family except Jimmy have publicly abandoned the Republican Party. Jimmy McCain, who enlisted in the Marine Corps at age 17 and now serves as an intelligence officer in the 158th Infantry Regiment, had until now deliberately sought to avoid entering the political fray. Trump’s attacks on his father, that he was “not a war hero” because he was captured in Vietnam, and his reported description of the elder McCain as a “loser”, were deeply hurtful on a personal level, but not out of bounds politically, Jimmy McCain believes. He goes on to say, One thing about John McCain is that he chose a public life,” McCain said. “So to attack him is really not out of the realm of his job description.” This came to light when Trump visited the cemetery last Monday following a wreath laying ceremony honoring the 13 US military service members who were killed at Kabul airport’s Abbey Gate in Afghanistan in 2021. His campaign filmed the visit, leading to an altercation with a cemetery staffer who attempted to prevent Trump’s team from photographing and filming in the area where recent US casualties are buried. According to the Army, doing so violates federal law, Army regulations and Defense Department policies. He should be charged as law states. John Mc Cain made a mistake but owned up to it. Trump is not the first politician to violate a ban on political activity at Arlington. In fact, more than 20 years ago, John McCain said he made “a very bad mistake” when he released a campaign ad that featured a clip of him walking through the cemetery. Yet he acknowledged his mistake. Trump and his campaign, however, have not issued such a mea culpa. Instead, according to the US Army, they ignored and “abruptly pushed aside” a cemetery staffer who protested the activity and published footage of the event later anyway. One of Trump’s campaign managers, Chris LaCivita, called the Army “hacks” and said it was “100% a manufactured story. Trump tried to clean up his mistake, Trump’s campaign released taped statements from family members of some of the service members who were killed at Abbey Gate, who said they invited Trump to their loved ones’ graves. But the campaign’s video of the event, which they put on TikTok, showed other gravestones, too — including that of an Army Special Forces soldier who died by suicide, and whose family said they did not give the campaign permission to film it. Jimmy Mc Cain has decided to get involved in this election, he said he cannot stand by and let Trump get away with degrading his father. I think he will defend other vets as well. It is a sad day in America that we think it is ok to say derogatory, offensive, and belittle our servicemen and woman alive or deceased. How in the hell can anyone support trump with his attitude is beyond me. It is bad enough that he wants to take away women’s rights. But to support him when he has no respect to the people who have gave the ultimate sacrifice to this country. And those who were injured for life. Trump is a piece of crap that does not deserve one vote from one American and those that do vote for him shame on you. You need to rethink your loyalty.
