The late Sen. John McCain’s youngest son, Army 1st Lt. Jimmy McCain, told CNN on Tuesday that he’s changed his voter registration to Democrat and plans to support Vice President Kamala Harris in November.
McCain explained the change after years as a registered independent and expressed outrage over a recent altercation involving Trump campaign staff at Arlington National Cemetery. He called it a “violation” and “a painful experience.”
Trump was at the cemetery last month to mark the third anniversary of a suicide bombing that killed 13 U.S. troops during the evacuation of Afghanistan. Trump and his staff defied requests from cemetery officials to avoid taking photos or videos among the gravestones, with the aim of adhering to a federal law that forbids campaign activities at military cemeteries. A female cemetery worker was “abruptly pushed aside” by male Trump aides as she sought to enforce the guidelines, cemetery officials said.
Good for him. He follows his mum and comes over to the right side.
All Republicans should condemn the outrageous behavior of the Trump campaign on Arlington's hallowed grounds.
Remember Trump has mocked the late Sen McCain as not being a war hero because he "allowed" himself to be captured. And recently, Trump said that the Presidential Medal of Freedom, a civilian honor, is "much better" than the Medal of Honor - the highest military award in the U.S.
I'm not sure how any service member can support Trump after all this blatant disrespect.
