Report: McCain Stands By As His Supporter Calls Hillary A "Bitch"

[antiimperialist]

We've just obtained some video of a Fox local affiliate reporting on a McCain campaign appearance in South Carolina. In it, one of McCain's supporters emphatically calls Hillary Clinton, McCain's fellow United States Senator, a "bitch." McCain's response? According to the Fox affiliate's reporter, McCain "laughed off" the comment. Take a look:

We contacted the McCain campaign about this to ask whether McCain should have condemned the remark, whether he wanted to condemn it now, and whether the Fox affiliate's report had represented what happened accurately.

His camp declined to comment

So, not a red-neck per se, but probably a rich white woman looking to keep "those people" in their place.

I'm from SC and I know plenty of these people.

They make me ashamed of my state.
