At an event in Arizona, Kamala Harris drifted into a truly bizarre interaction she had with former Sen. John McCain.
She claimed the late Republican senator, who had represented Arizona until he passed away in 2018, had once praised her.
Given McCainβs track record, his praise is not something to brag about.
βHeβs going after me, and Iβm going back after him. Iβm going back after him. And that was it. This is what the public saw,β Harris explained.
Harris then shared an interaction she had with McCain later that day.
βAnd I passed by John McCain. And he looks at me and he says, βKid, come over here. Youβre going to make a great senator.β True story. True story. True story,β Harris said.

From the New York Post:
Harris went on, βThat was John McCain. That was John McCain. I was talking about him last night at a rally, right? John McCain, who β you know, we didnβt agree on everything, but, man, I mean, what about an incredible American hero? Again, strength β strength β right? We know what the former president said about John McCain β Iβm not going to repeat it here β but strength.β
Harris was referring to when then-presidential candidate Donald Trump said in 2015 that John McCain was βonly a war hero because he got captured, I like people that werenβt captured.β
The controversial statement β a paraphrase of a Chris Rock joke from his 2008 special βChris Rock: Kill the Messengerβ β drew ire from both sides of the political aisle and solidified the legendary senator and Trump as political enemies.
John McCain would famously cast the deciding βnoβ vote on President Trumpβs attempted Obamacare repeal.
βNow, I know democrats want to reinvent history and turn my Dad into any illusion you guys need him to be depending on the political moment you need to b********* his memory for,β Meghan McCain said.
βBut please donβt make me start sharing what I remember him ACTUALLY saying about Kamala Harris,β she added.

βAnd consider this my final warning shot, I will start spilling tea,β McCain said in another post.

Per Fox News:
On Saturday, McCain called her critics βlunaticsβ in response to the backlash.
βA lot of really triggered democrats in my timeline who claim they know more about my dad than wellβ¦. his daughter,β she wrote. βGet a grip on reality, you lunatics.β
Democrats have been actively targeting moderate Republicans in Arizona this campaign season, and the swing state is predicted to have a significant impact on the presidential election in November.
Some GOP officials in the state have evoked McCainβs name to signal their support for Harris because John McCain had an icy relationship with former President Trump.
Speaking at a Harris rally in August, Rep. Gregory Stanton, D-Ariz., called on βJohn McCain Republicansβ to support the Harris-Walz ticket. Mesaβs Republican mayor echoed that sentiment.
