"John McCain's son doesn't suffer fools."
Not surprised by America being well -- America, but who knew Jack McCain was a troll hunter?
From the Washington Post
Sen. John McCain’s son, Jack, had a blunt assessment of the people criticizing an Old Navy ad featuring an interracial couple: “Ignorant racists.”
The controversy began when the low-price fashion chain tweeted an ad on Friday featuring a good-looking, adorably dressed couple with their “child.” Dad’s white, and mom’s black.
Predictably, there was nasty backlash on Twitter. And then backlash to the backlash.
Which is where Jack McCain came in. The fifth of the Arizona Republican’s seven children, Jack McCain is a Navy lieutenant and helicopter pilot — and he’s married to a black woman, Air Force Reserve Capt. Renee Swift. “To the people upset about the #OldNavy ‘Scandal’ of an a picture of a mixed race marriage, eat it,” he tweeted on Monday, along with a picture of the couple in military uniforms.
McCain was only one of many people responding to the ad by posting pictures of their own mixed-race families.
A few minutes later, he tweeted a picture of the pair on their 2013 wedding day. “I hope this one burns too, you ignorant racists,” he wrote.

*looks forward to John McCain taking his grandson to a black barbershop and experiencing real America for the first time*
Their family get togethers are going to be off the chain.
I am all for intercultural unity so this is great news. And the McCains served in military so "middle America" can't say shit about it because Patriotism and the American flag.

and why did I think that was McCain's son and his wife in the Old Navy ad when I clicked on the link.
I was mad as shit but for different reasons.
His son's wife is fine too
**************** TBH the fact that you're even a mod here fits squarely within Jag's narrative of OK-sanctioned aggression, bullying, and toxicity. *shrug*
