The son of longtime Sen. John McCain isn’t schooled in the rough-and-tumble world of politics, where anything – make that absolutely everything – is for sale. Instead, he followed his family’s legacy of service to country, enlisting in the Marines at age 17 and deploying to both Iraq and Afghanistan.
I imagine a guy like Jimmy McCain learns early on about dignity and loyalty, about commitment and honor and respect – which is, I suppose, why he can’t figure out how a close friend could so easily turn on his family.
“I’m not trying to hurt anyone,” McCain recently told The Arizona Republic’s Stacey Barchenger. “I’m just trying to say I don’t understand where this person came from, because back then, we were thick as thieves.”
Lake was once a close friend of the McCains
Lake was a good friend of the McCains. After Jimmy and Holly McCain had their first child in 2019, Lake went racing over with baby clothes and parenting advice.
After the senator’s death in 2018, Lake lauded him as “a war hero, icon and a force to be reckoned with.”
Now, suddenly, we learn that the war hero, the icon, the force to be reckoned with was really just a power-hungry tyrant who never did anything for the state and still rules from the grave with an iron fist.
