Alleged ISIS Photo Controversy Engulfs Sen. John McCain

Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) and his aides swear the Syrian “rebels” he was pictured last year with weren’t ISIS members or supporters, and the mainstream media is by and large buying the 2008 GOP presidential nominee’s story.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) has endured brutal criticism—media fact checkers, reporters, and political figures have shredded him—for questioning just who McCain posed with.





But a closer look at the situation tells perhaps a different story than McCain’s office or the mainstream media have pushed.

The criticism of McCain centers around how the Arizona senator met with Syrian rebel leaders in May 2013 when he visited the country. McCain posed for photographs with those people, and since then rumors have sprouted up across the Internet that he met with ISIS or some other terrorist kidnappers or nefarious forces.

Funny how the media can dig things up when it's politically convenient.

2:22 Brilliant is not the word I would use to describe his career.
His whole career is how to turn time as POW into power. Start with divorcing your wife and marrying into a rich, politically connected family. Smart move not brilliant.
