Joe Biden made a huge deal out of getting the endorsement of Cindy McCain, during one of his Zoom calls in the basement. “My husband John lived by a code: country first,” the late senator’s wife said. “We are Republicans, yes, but Americans foremost. There’s only one candidate in this race who stands up for our values as a nation, and that is Joe Biden.” Well, that’s when the president destroyed poor Cindy McCain with the truth.
Reporters said Joe Biden was giddy during one of his bunker basement Zoom calls this week to announce he had the endorsement of Cindy McCain.
According to a pool report, Biden announced that McCain, a longtime family friend, has endorsed his candidacy “because of what [Trump] talks about with my son and John’s who are heroes, who served their country. You know he said they’re losers, they’re suckers,” he said, citing the controversial and uncorroborated story from the Atlantic:
NEW: @JoeBiden says during a fundraiser @CindyMcCain is endorsing him for president “because of what [Trump] talks about with my son & John’s who are heroes, who served their country, you know he said they’re losers, they’re suckers.”

That poorly worded article from the Atlantic was a pure hit piece with zero corroboration.
The piece made the unfounded accusation that the president called US military vets “suckers,” and “losers” while canceling a visit to a military cemetery in Europe. They listed no names of witnesses. However, the Trump administration had numerous military officials who were there who claimed that was totally false.
Biden doubled down on the false allegations in a speech on Monday in Wisconsin. Biden falsely claimed that the Atlantic story, which cited anonymous sources alleging that President Trump called veterans “losers” and “suckers, had been “confirmed by every outlet.”
The former vice president’s remarks were false, as Breitbart News detailed:
No one else has corroborated the Atlantic‘s claim. Even Fox News’ Jennifer Griffin, who claimed that she had “confirmed” other details in the story (from two similarly anonymous sources), could not confirm the Atlantic‘s “suckers” and “losers” claim.
Moreover, more than a dozen current and former Trump administration officials have publicly and demonstratively denied the claims in the Atlantic article — including former National Security Adviser John Bolton, who has become a Trump critic.
That brings us to Cindy Mccain and her endorsement.
“My husband John lived by a code: country first. We are Republicans, yes, but Americans foremost. There’s only one candidate in this race who stands up for our values as a nation, and that is @JoeBiden,” tweeted Cindy McCain.

McCain’s wife had already praised Biden in a video at the Democratic National Convention in which she discussed the friendship between her husband and the former vice president.
Joe Biden bashed John McCain as much as possible during the 2008 election.
Biden belittled McCain: “You can’t call yourself a maverick when all you’ve ever been is a sidekick,” he said in a speech in Florida. Biden also called the Vietnam War hero “an angry man, lurching from one position to another.”
After McCain’s running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin pointed out then-Sen. Barack Obama’s ties to unrepentant former domestic terrorist William Ayers, then-Sen. Biden attacked McCain as a coward who would not dare say that to Obama directly.
“In my neighborhood where I came from if you got something to say to a man, look him in the eye and say it,” Biden said.
That’s why President Trump blasted Cindy McCain’s endorsement of the former vice-president.
“I hardly know Cindy McCain other than having put her on a Committee at her husband’s request. Joe Biden was John McCain’s lapdog. So many BAD decisions on Endless Wars & the V.A., which I brought from a horror show to HIGH APPROVAL. Never a fan of John. Cindy can have Sleepy Joe!” Trump tweeted.

Cindy and her daughter Meghan come across as spoiled brats who never made it to the White House.
No serious conservative, or Republican, can in all honesty support Joe Biden, who is kowtowing to the radical leftists in the Democratic Party. Voting for Biden is voting for four trillion in new taxes, sending our factories and businesses back to China, implementing the Green New Deal, and returning to the Paris Climate Accord.
That’s a socialist’s dream come true. So, Cindy McCain can go ahead and support Biden. Her husband’s legacy is ruined. We all know John McCain took part with the deep state in the Russian collusion witch hunt against Trump, and he betrayed all Americans with his thumbs down vote on getting rid of Obamacare.
In fact, we should be thanking Mrs. McCain for endorsing Sleepy Joe Biden. Who wants the support of the family of a traitor like John McCain?
