John McCain Slams Hillary Clinton

Republican Sen. John McCain of Arizona criticized Hillary Clinton for writing her memoir immediately after the 2016 presidential election.

In an interview with Esquire, Sen. McCain suggested that Mrs. Clinton made a mistake in writing her memoir entitled “What Happened.” The senator said, “What’s the f—ing point? Keep the fight up?”

In addition, the senator said, “History will judge that campaign, and it’s always a period of time before they do. You’ve got to move on.”

Sen. McCain knows very well the feeling of losing a presidential election. In 2008, he lost the White House to then Sen. Barack Obama, who became the first African-American President. At the time, McCain told his supported that they “fought hard” but “fell short.” He said, “The failure is mine not yours.”

According to Sen. McCain, “One of the almost irresistible impulses you have when you lose is to somehow justify why you lost and how you were mistreated.” However, he resisted the temptation to defend himself from the blames of why he lost the 2008 presidential election.
