Oh, hypocrisy. Where would modern politics be without you?
You’ve probably heard about the furor over Donald Trump’s recent visit to Arlington Cemetery. It’s hard to avoid because the leftist media and politicians will not stop shrieking about how “disrespectful” Trump was to pose for photographs with the families of military servicemen killed in Afghanistan… who invited him.
CNN is lying and calling Trump’s appearance at the cemetery a “campaign event” to make it seem like Bull In A China Shop Vulgar Trump exploited grieving military families to bolster his ego and election chances. You can see the network lying right in their own story.
What actually happened is quite different. A group of Gold Star families held a memorial ceremony at Arlington last week in remembrance of the 13 American soldiers who were killed in Afghanistan during the disastrous withdrawal in 2021, presided over by Joe Biden.
Vice President and Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris, Cackler in Chief, got on social media over the past weekend to accuse Trump of staging a political event and shaming military families. But the families invited Donald Trump themselves because neither Joe Biden nor Harris would even respond to their invitation, let alone show up.
Many of these families present released videos defending Trump and criticizing the Biden-Harris administration for ignoring their responsibility for the deaths of their family members and not even bothering to respond to an invitation to a remembrance gather. Mark Schmitz, father of Jared Schmitz, one of the 13 killed during the withdrawal, said they invited Trump to the gathering because “we wanted a leader.”
But the left will stop at nothing, even stooping to insulting the families of war dead, in order to get Bad Orange Man.
Now CNN’s Natasha Bertrand thinks she’s got a major scoop about the son of the late Senator John McCain. Jimmy McCain confirmed that he has switched to the Democrat party so that he can vote for Kamala Harris. Jimmy was feeling quite righteous, calling Trump’s appearance with the Gold Star Families a “violation.”
But there’s one little problem – his father *actually* used Arlington to campaign.
You can watch the ad for yourself below:
That’s right. Jimmy’s own father was rebuked in 1999 by Arlington Cemetery staff for actually filming a political ad at the graveyard without permission.
Good God—what is it with these people?
Here’s what the internet had to say.
You’ve got to feel for this guy, who quaintly believes the truth still matters.
This user pointed out that Natasha Bertrand of CNN quickly modified her X/Twitter post to turn off comments. These people do NOT like being talked back to.
Bet Jimmy McCain won’t like this one bit.
Don’t know if this claim is true, but it is interesting:
When John McCain was candidate for POTUS in ’88 I voted for Ralph Nader. When Willard Romney ran for POTUS in the ’12 election I crossed his name out, wrote in “Mickey the Dunce” preceded by a box with a check mark.
Dan Bongino always reminds his followers that, “These people hate you. They need to be reminded they are tools used by us to make laws and then put away.” McCain hated us at the end and he couldn’t hide it. The whole family has TDS and they are so ill they would betray our country to get even. Trump didn’t kill their dad. Time and the VC did that.
The apple did not fall far from the tree. Makes a whole new sense out of “fruit of the poisonous tree”. McCain did all he could to wreck the Party of Lincoln, and then the whole country, and got filthy $$$ doing it. Now his spawn gets to continue to mis-use the spoils.
You mean the John McCain that killed 134 men on the uss Forrester with a firing of a missile from a phantom 4 jet while still on the deck
John McCain turned against everyone when he voted to keep Obamacare and his kid’s opinion matters to no one!
Like father like son, traitors both.
The McCain family seems to have a never-ending feeling of privilege and opinions that no one cares about in my view!
I was a Never McCain voter & also a Never Obama voter as well.
They are very good at being hypocrites
As a Vet myself, I never went with the whole idea of John McCain being a war hero just by being a POW.
Especially with rumors I heard over the years about his time as a POW and doing everything he could to keep the records closed. I have seen many times it being sighted that he refused early release (VC trying to gain favor since this daddy was admiral) – seems more to do with whatever bad acts he was doing while a POW, he did want to come home. Maybe his time as a POW was completely honorable, but till his full record is released, we will never know.
