Donald Trump’s Corporate Biography Claims John McCain Was a Birther

[DonViejo]

Not only is McCain ‘not a war hero,’ according to Trump, but the senator was the original secret birther, too.

Donald Trump’s biography on the website of his privately held corporation, the Trump Organization, calls U.S. Sen. John McCain a birther conspiracy theorist, claiming that:

“In 2011, after failed attempts by both Senator McCain and Hillary Clinton, Mr. Trump single-handedly forced President Obama to release his birth certificate, which was lauded by large segments of the political community.”

Asked about the claim, which has been in his biography since at least last August, Senator McCain’s spokeswoman Rachael Dean replied, “As the record clearly shows, Senator McCain has never questioned President Obama’s birthplace.”

This is so. McCain famously defended Obama against conspiracy theories when he carried the Republican presidential banner in 2008. At multiple campaign events, the Arizona forcefully pushed back against his own supporters who questioned Obama’s religion, race, and loyalty to the United States.

4. After McCain's statement to the Khan's, I was shocked at his response to Trump's PTSD comments.

But this is the same guy who had Sarah Palin on his ticket, so I'm assuming he feels bound for life to defend Republicans regardless of how dangerous or damaging to this country. Because if he really put country first, like he claims, he'd call the orange man out on his sham.

5. And not a day later.....

Arizona senator and former GOP presidential nominee John McCain said he is rescinding his support for Donald Trump. McCain, whose military service Trump derided last summer, had been critical of many of Trump's comments but reluctantly embraced the nominee during his difficult re-election race. In a statement, McCain said he will write in the name of a "good conservative Republican who is qualified to be president."

I have wanted to support the candidate our party nominated. He was not my choice, but as a past nominee, I thought it important I respect the fact that Donald Trump won a majority of the delegates by the rules our party set. I thought I owed his supporters that deference."But Donald Trump's behavior this week, concluding with the disclosure of his demeaning comments about women and his boasts about sexual assaults, make it impossible to continue to offer even conditional support for his candidacy.

Cindy, with her strong background in human rights and respect for women fully agrees with me in this."Cindy and I will not vote for Donald Trump. I have never voted for a Democratic presidential candidate and we will not vote for Hillary Clinton. We will write in the name of some good conservative Republican who is qualified to be President."

6. I wondered if that would happen because I saw a blurb

where he denounced trump for his perversion caught on tape.

Thank you for this, JT!
