John McCain was a POW and he may have served honourably in the US military, but he wasn’t some paragon of virtue. Wasn’t he a big part of the Birther movement (the ones who tried to push the idea that Barack Obama was not a bona fide American citizen because his father was born in Kenya and some suggested he was as well)?
If we’re going back some years, we could use the Republicans’ own words and call them the party of Lincoln, though every Republican who voted for Abraham Lincoln likely would have voted for Barack Obama, and more recently, against Donald Trump. The Republicans were the progressive party back then and the Democrats (under whom the Klan was founded) were the conservative party. Conservatives today like to remind people of that, but they don’t like it when we point out that the two parties swapped ideals and platforms long before any of us were born.
Here is John McCain saying Obama is a decent person and that he is US citizen to a room full of future Trump supporters. The party was dying in front of him.
no and he actively shut up the people trying to make that an issue on the campaign trail. the loudest voice among the birth certificate crowd was donald trump lmao

No, he was outspoken against that movement when it started gaining traction during their election cycle.
Not really a fan of McCain, but at least he had values I guess.
