'For anyone who needs reminding of how a lot of Republicans like me were raised and how we view the world,' McCain tweeted.
After the crowd at a Donald Trump campaign rally in North Carolina chanted"send her back" during the president's attack on progressive congresswoman Ilhan Omar,'s Meghan McCain shared a 2008 video of her late father, Senator John McCain, schooling a supporter who called Barack Obama an"Arab."
"For anyone who needs reminding of how a lot of Republicans like me were raised and how we view the world. I love you Dad and I've never missed your leadership more," McCain tweeted, alongside a video taken at a 2008 campaign rally for John McCain, who was then the Republican nominee for president. During a Q&A at that event, a McCain supporter told the candidate:"We're scared of an Obama presidency, and I'll tell you why. I'm concerned about someone that cohorts with domestic terrorists such as Arabs."
In response, the senator said,"I have to tell you, he is a decent person, and a person that you do not have to be scared [of] as president of the United States," prompting booing from the crowd."No ma'am," the then-nominee replied, while shaking his head."He's a decent family man, citizen, that I just happen to have disagreements with on fundamental issues and that's what this campaign is all about. He's not.
For anyone who needs reminding of how a lot of Republicans like me were raised and how we view the world. I love you Dad and I've never missed your leadership more.
