John McCain’s Son Shuts Down Trolls Who Criticized Interracial Old Navy Ad

I'm certainly no fan of McCain - I don't believe he was the rational one in the crazies that we often saw him portrayed as in the media, but I've been interested in watching children from older pols to see how they're shaping up since they indicate the future of their party since most do tend to stay in it.

On Friday, Old Navy tweeted a promotional photo of an interracial couple and their son—and the brand instantly became the target of angry feedback (some people on Twitter went as far as to claim it was promoting “white genocide”). One person who thought the outrage was ridiculous: Navy lieutenant Jack McCain, John McCain’s son, who is married to Air Force Reserve Capt. Renee Swift, a black woman. He decided to make the controversy a little more personal


The nature of the Republican party is changing in a lot of bad ways, hullo Trump, but there's also this that helps to push back some - and should be encouraged. The strength of Democracy is in two (and more) parties and ways of thinking to come together for the greater good.

I'm a little more shocked his son married an Air Force woman. Those mixed marriages face so many challenges.
