Yes. He rebuked her by saying “He’s a decent family man [and] citizen that just I just happen to have disagreements with on fundamental issues, and that’s what the campaign’s all about. He’s not [an Arab].” Because we all know that Arabs can't be decent family men. /s
@@carlosjaramillo9702 The old lady’s words were “I don’t trust Obama. He’s an... he’s an Arab.” That’s when Senator McCain rebuked her very gently. Obviously he was taken aback which is why he said at the end that he’s not an Arab. He was uncomfortable with the nasty rhetoric that was emerging during his campaign and encouraged by Sarah Palin. (Bad choice on his part.)
What a lovely person she is, Cindy McCain. Nice story about how she and John met 🙂. Their friendship with the Bidens across party lines is beautiful and inspiring.
This version of the story does sound nice. I'm glad all involved found happiness. This is the story of a 43-year-old married senator starting an affair with a 25-year-old. One of many admitted affairs while his wife and children were at home waiting for dad to come back from work trips.
@@deborahfreedman333 I would but it would be inaccurate. Doesn't matter where the sperm and egg came from. John adopted those two boys. So, his three children were home with his wife Carol in April, 1979 when John met Cindy and described falling in love with her by the end of the night. John listed the separation from Carol as January 7th, 1980 in his court petition when he filed for divorce on February 19, 1980. John filed for a marriage license on March 6th, 1980. His divorce was granted on April 2nd, 1980. He married Cindy on May 17th, 1980. These are just the facts, not my opinion. I'm a deeply flawed person myself. I liked John McCain and already cast my ballot for Biden. I just think this story does them all no favors, including Jill Biden, who apparently urged the married not separated senator to go talk to the (I was wrong in my previous comment about age 25) then 24-year-old Cindy. Again, I'm very happy for them all that after a painful period there was forgiveness and understanding from Carol and eventually their 3 children. That takes a ton of maturity from everyone.
@@knowledgesimjess John and Carol had difficulties in their marriage. Being a POW for so many years, John came home with a PTSD. Carol was not prepared to handle this. John was disappointed because he didn't get the understanding and the help that he needed. Carol was also disappointed, because John had been changed, not the man he married back then. The new John with his PTSD became a burden for Carol, not the kind of husband she needed. To avoid more conflicts, they basically lived separated lives although still legally being married. Carol did not file for divorce, because she'd feel guilty if she left a husband who needed her help. John did not file for divorce because he also felt guilty for not being the kind of husband that Carol needed, and because he felt the responsibility to provide for her and the children. I did not blame Carol, I might also not be able to handle a spouse with such issue. But I also couldn't blame John because of his condition. Their marriage basically had been over long before their divorce.
I have the same bday as john mccain and I've def had relationships go like that. Life isn't all black and white and super simple. No one can assume what anyone's else's life experiences were. Beyond democrat, republican or any party we are Americans and John realized and defended that. Trump has only fled from any military service, he's fled responsibility to the Americans since long before his presidency. God bless McCain family and Biden family. They have both experienced many hardships and instead of analyzing and dissecting their past I wish them healing on their journey forward. Losing loved ones is very hard, I lost my father at 61 and I feel for them both. 🙏
@ (1) At the point that McCain initially became a republican, the party was far different than it is today. (2) While I absolutely disagreed with McCain on a lot of issues, there was never a moments doubt that he genuinely wanted what he believed was best for the American people. (3) McCain didn't act in absolutes, he was willing to honestly and openly discuss issues and policies with those of differing opinions - to include changing his positions based on those conversations. (4) The republican party (as has _every_ political party and human being) changed over time. He certainly remembered what it once was and what he certainly believed it to ideally be, but as his wife is doing in this interview, I believe if he were alive today, he would be denouncing trump and the trump sycophants. I don't think he would leave the Republican party anymore than he would have left the USA - he would have tried to genuinely fix what he thought were the underlying problems.
@@im.empimp You've been fed a fairy tale about McCain. He was a terrible person and Senator. Actually look through his voting record (which was voting with Trump over 90% of the time by the way) and scratch the surface with this article.

@@thechestrockfield i just read that and yea... its pretty bad.. i mean im not gonna hate on him for his politics but the rude things he said were a bit skethcy.
What a great outlook. She identifies the good in others and recognises that they may be political "enemies" but have more in common than divides us. Let's have a President we can all be proud of or at least looks after OUR best interests.
Joe Biden and John McCain have been good friends for decades! Their families often dine together in Biden's backyard, with grandchildren running around and both men goofing around, much to the amusement of their wives!
That’s the problem with US two party system. How can you consider your countryman/woman your enemies just because they have a different political ideas or policy ideas than yours. So patronizing and so hateful. Why people can’t have a respectable debate and work our the best solution for the society? That’s how we solve the problem in the family and at work, wasn’t it?
Oooh...good one, I’ll be stealing it and passing it off as my own....but seriously....love it 🤣😂🤣 on account of the fact, I can’t stomach insanity hannity!
I think people like her are the real problem. It is these supposedly normal people behind the racist, sexist GOP that give it an image of equity that doesn't actually exist.
really the man who was so outraged a clinton having an affair. what mrs McCain "love at first sight " story is missing is the fact that he had a wife and 3 kids at home, wonder if they got a call from china
@@mookmook5715 when it comes to the current president, a rabid hamster would be an improvement. However McCain really only looks good when you compare him to the other Republican criminals out there. He doesn't quite achieve Sainthood by any means.
as a fellow widow of a gbm4 warrior, i applaud this woman. we have different perspectives, but that's okay. she seems to be genuine, empathetic & strong. 🤍
I was trying to connect the two emotionally and intelligently but simply couldn't do it. If it weren't for their looks, I would have said, nah, can't be.
@@Defunct231324141 GW is interesting because he will go down as one of the worst Presidents in history (starting a war we'll probably never get out of) however he is a guy that most people could probably enjoy sitting down and having a beer with.
John McCain is one of the bravest and most honorable men to ever walk the earth. We differed on some policies, but as a Democrat I give all my love and respect to John. He was a real republican. He loves the people of this country and fought alongside them in combat. Trump sadly destroyed the Republican Party and nearly every good thing it stood for.
The destruction of the Republican party began long before Trump. The massive Republican refugee surge of inbred sister f******, web-toed Dixiecrats when fled the Democratic party after the Civil Rights act in the early sixties was the final s*** icing on the cake. Trump would have been toxic no matter what party he was affiliated with... he is a fundamentally incompetent narcissistic sociopath - in short, the precise wrong kind of person to give any kind of power to, other than trailer park manager, or possibly Mall cop or convenience store assistant manager.
John McCain is the exact polar opposite of Donald "Bonespurs" Trump. He was a man of integrity and had a true moral compass. I will never forget him giving the "thumbs down" to the repeal of the ACA. It showed how much he cared for the PEOPLE of America........ALL the people of America! His move was a real sharp stick in the eye to the Republicans and especially the Coward-in-Chief who currently is taking up space in the White House. Join all of the sane, patriotic,and true Americans and VOTE BLUE 2020! We need to rid the world of Donald Trump and all of his traitorous Republican enablers.
George Bush is responsible for more deaths than Trump. We lost over one million people from the war in iraq. Did you forget iraq? Republicans have been really shitty since Nixon idiot.
@@kevincasey4478 mccain's exemplary behavior started years before he killed the ACA repeal. you can tell what kind of politician, and what kind of person, he was when he was running against obama and a woman in the audience brought up the birther conspiracy and he shut her DOWN. he scolded her for questioning obama's legitimacy and engaging in conspiratorial racist ideology. he lost to obama but he lost with DIGNITY, he didn't hold a grudge, and he was never on board with mcconnell's cutthroat brand of duplicity & bigotry. that's why he was known as a maverick.
Madam I mourned the loss of your husband greatly. I remember a lot of his phrases and he was an amazing man. I wish you family the absolute best in the future.
@@niznomores7961 They might normally - but the multitude of disrespectful acts towards the military and their families that he has done since 2015 have just mounted up and up. I have my doubts that even without trying to disenfranchise them that they would vote GOP in this election.
@peter g " he won't; wait and see. the legal challenges he'll raise will only be in swing states. " Depends on the vote count. If its a landslide one way or the other its a no win situation. If its as close as a few thousand votes the court battles will make a cat fight look tame.
Isn’t Amazing that the Late Senator John McCain still gets in Trump’s Head? That speaks volumes for the the huge spirit, Character, integrity, Patriotism, Honorable, Class and True Hero this Amazing family Man legacy stands for. Characteristics that Trump wishes he had. John McCain stood for a proud honorable True Republican Party who understood the importance of working with the Democrats .. still to this day his deep love, incredible respect and True honor for country lives!
Trump is so immensely vain, immature and self-centered that deep down he's jealous of both Obama and McCain for their genuine popularity. He cannot stand it.
I never would have voted for McCain when he ran, but looking back, I realize that had he won, he would have served the national honorably, just as he did during his military service. I disagreed with him on many things but he was one hell of a man who actually had a sense of honor, of confidence, and of self. I wish his family all the best and think of them often. They lost him too young.
@The Crafty Cyborg it was a tough decision for me also but made much easier when they picked the unqualified Sarah Palin as the VP. That decision by the McCain campaign was the reason they lost me and many, many others.
@@tparsons2471 there is no ‘believing’ lies... most of his horrible leadership is factually terrible.

What an enormously lovely woman. I’m not sure I’d have as much grace as Mrs. McCain, and not admit on tv I’d want to smack the dude who insults my late husband.
McCain has THREE daughters, one with first wife Carol (Sidney, who is either a Democrat or D-leaning independent), and two with second wife/widow Cindy Hensley, one biological and the younger one adopted (the biological one is, of course, the best known; she will presumably end up voting for the current occupant, or abstain, likely out of deference to her husband and his family,) 😐
@@bonghunezhou5051 Meghan McCain was adopted by the McCain’s. And she has said on The View and other shows if Biden runs for President against Trump she will vote for Biden. I imagine she isn’t speaking out just now because she is currently on maternity leave and busy with her new baby daughter.
Sidney/Sydney : daughter of Carol (first wife) and John Meghan (the middle daughter): of Cindy and John Bridget: adopted daughter of Cindy and John (from South Asia)
I don't know what's up with Megan. Something is not right because on the view she's always trying take up for trump. The same man that disrespect her dad. So I don't know whats her game.
@@ljsmixbox44 watch The View, and you'll see Megan absolutely adores & respects Biden. she said (before it was even definitive that Biden would run for presidency) that if he did run, she'd basically support him and has nothing bad to say about him due to both their family's being so close.
@@literallyafrog367 Nevada and Pennsylvania he is leading in the state polls yes but by how true a margin come election day you can see that 5+ lead turn into a >1 in a heartbeat so please implore others to vote!
I hope Bernie is on that team too. Biden is gonna need input from a diverse array of people going forward, so we can leave this messy Trump era behind us, wiser hopefully.
That "thumbs down" moment was one of the most epic moments is Senate history. McCain is the only campaign I ever donated to. I didn't want Bush. he also gained my respect when he shut that woman down in the town hall. One last thing, he had an fantastic sense of humor. Funny AF.

@@mommyshark1124 thank you. I am blessed to live in this country. I am so saddened by the state of our nation. I fear for our children's future. We must all do our best to set a good example. Unfortunately those at the top don't seem to feel that way.
I was so impressed with her. Totally real, totally down to Earth, no bullshit, answered questions like a real person, not a politician's wife/widow. Extremely impressive person. No wonder she appealed to someone like John McCain.
It's just so astounding to look back and realize that we had John McCain, and then Mitt Romney, both thoroughly honest and decent people, as the standard bearers for their party. Trump has soiled the entire GOP. I don't know that it will ever recover.
I love the McCain family. I disagree with a lot of what Senator McCain said and did, but I think that he was always coming from a sincere place. As a resident of Arizona, I've seen firsthand how refugees were welcomed into the state when Senator McCain was still alive; because he actually saw war up close and personal and he understood how important it is to provide support for innocent people displaced by war.
I love her on the View. Seeing you speak on your Cause is encouraging to me in this time. Glad to see you have kept strong. Loved your husband alot and since he passed I have loved you because your are strong when fools thought you would be weak. God bless you Mrs Cindy McCain.
With so many stories like this, and seeing exactly what she talked about regarding P-Donny and his blatant lack of respect, dignity, compassion, empathy, etc., it still amazes me that people would even consider voting for him. I too am a registered Republican, but I'm embarrassed by Trump. I don't agree with everything on the Democratic side, but until the Republicans can put forth a RESPECTABLE and HONORABLE candidate, I can't in good faith vote for them. And, after seeing first hand the actions of people like Cruz and especially Graham, I feel the exact same way about them. Its time for a change back to respectability and integrity.
Add another to your list, Purdue, the Republican Senator from Georgia, one of several who got informed about coronavirus in Jan, ran out to sell their stock and then lie to their voters. I’m praying Ossoff wins there Tues. Watch the video of Ossoff asking him about it during the debate. There once were honorable republicans, look at Eisenhower, but they’ve slowly been voted out of the party in the primaries, replaced by the Devin Nunes of the world. I couldn’t imagine gaining that Covid info doing anything but trying to warn as many of my constituents as I could, and Perdue thought of his stock portfolio.
Cancer can be a happy time at the end, my dad sat with us and had us crying from the jokes he was telling us! It was awesome and I remember him so happily!
I like Cindy McCain a lot... as someone approaching year 4 of recovery from opioid addiction - and who also hid it from my family the entire time - her story is very inspiring to me.
I really do wish we had at least two high-quality political parties in this country working to promote high-quality leaders that had the backing of many Americans. We simply don’t right now. It’s too bad that McCain passed, as he was one of the only brave Republicans in the senate that would stand against the insanity of Trump.
I love this women. I didn’t know her to much before this. I did not followed McCain and Obama election in 2008. I don’t agree with her politics probably because I leave centre left but she is so poised well spoken and have very high values. She is so soft spoken and really cares about people.
McCain: the Republican senator I respect the most. Willing to go against his party to support his morals. That’s what our representatives should be doing.
My dad is incredibly liberal. He admitted to me last year that he had voted for McCain in 2008 because he respected him so much and wanted to thank him for his service. I was SHOCKED. But, I get it. I miss bipartisanship so much.
A non-vote or a vote for anyone other than Biden is in reality a vote FOR Trump. If you want him gone, VOTE BLUE! And help take back the Senate, or Biden will be hamstrung.
Countries are not islands. This world needs allies. The last years the US walked away from their allies. Do not waste any time, its about time to repair what has been broken🍀
Thank You, Cindy McCain, Your Husband John McCain will never be forgotten, and will be remembered in US History as a Great American Military Hero. We as Americans welcome your support. I've heard many of your Husband's speeches, on what he believed, and wanted for the American people, which made me believe would have made him a great US President at this time, and over 100,000 Americans would have still been alive with their loved ones, because John McCain cared about our Country and it's citizens. Your Husband John McCain was a much respected, and Dignified Republican, which when he left us the Republican Party we knew left with him.
I really hope both parties can come together on this one and after we work together for America. I will vote against my own party if there's someone like him in a heartbeat. America we need to stand together and make a change for the better. We are not enemies, we are one people and we have to make that clear. We have differencess in opinions which is okay, but he has taken it too far as to divide us for his gain. We are better than hate, so we are better than them. Let's work together and make the white house the people's house instead of the invasion house.
Thank you Cindy for your sanity and patriotism. Like John McCain said, ”Nothing in life is more liberating than to fight for a cause larger than yourself, something that encompasses you but is not defined by your existence alone."
