According to Cindy McCain, her late husband, Senator John McCain, would not recognize today’s Republican Party.
The widow of Arizona’s former senator joined MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell on Wednesday, a day before President Joe Biden posthumously awarded Senator McCain the nation’s highest civil honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
“I don’t believe my husband would recognize it,” she said of the current state of the GOP. “I do know one thing, he would be fighting like the dickens to pull it back together and bring it back to what it was during previous Republican administrations and previous administrations as well.”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kT6fq0DEM0o&ab_channel=MSNBCLong considered a “Republican in Name Only” — or “RINO” — by many conservative Americans, McCain was known prior to his death in 2018 from brain cancer for such “maverick” acts as being the conservative that rescued former President Barack Obama’s Affordable Healthcare Act, the Daily Mail reports.
Following her husband’s death, Cindy McCain endorsed Joe Biden in the 2020 race for the White House. As president, Biden then appointed her to be his ambassador to the United Nations Agencies for Food and Agriculture.
And on Thursday, Biden presented her with McCain’s posthumous Presidential Medal of Freedom, joking that the late senator still “owes” him for introducing him to Cindy.
“Best thing we ever did for John,” Biden said. “The very best.”
