Input: The "Getting to Know the Real John McCain" commentary that began making the rounds in forwarded emails in August 2017 contains a combination of verifiable facts and opinions about John McCain's first marriage to Carol Shepp McCain. The commentary is largely based on a Daily Mail article that ran in 2008, when John McCain was running for president. The article included rare public comments from McCain's ex-wife, Carol Shepp McCain, about the couple's divorce and about John's mindset after he returned from Vietnam after spending five and a half years as a prisoner of war. We couldn't track down the original "Getting to Know the Real John McCain" commentary, or verify that a woman named Burma Davis Posey was its actual author. But we can look at some of the biographical details included in the commentary. The commentary's central theme is that Carol McCain was a loyal wife and mother and that John selfishly divorced her because of life-altering injuries that she sustained in a car accident on Christmas Eve of 1969. Both John and Carol McCain have agreed that their divorce fell apart because of John's immaturity, but Carol disputes the idea that her accident was the central cause. For his part, John McCain wrote in his 2002 memoir "Worth Fighting For" that:"My marriage'scollapse wasattributable to myown selfishness andimmaturity. Theblame was entirelymine." For her part, Carol McCain told the Daily Mail in a 2008:"My accident is well recorded. I had 23 operations, I am fiveinches shorter than I used tobe and I was in hospital forsix months. It was just awful,but it wasn't the reason formy divorce. My marriage ended becauseJohn McCain didn't want tobe 40, he wanted to be 25. You know that happensitjust does." And the commentary's claims about John McCain meeting Cindy and beginning a relationship with her before his first marriage ended appears to be true. John claimed in "Worth Fighting For" that his relationship with Cindy didn't begin until after he separated from Carol, but others dispute that. A 2008 Los Angeles Times story that quotes a friend of John McCain who was at the reception in Hawaii where John met Cindy said that some people in his social circle believed that the McCains had already separated by the time John and Cindy met based on John's behavior: By contrast, someof McCain'sfriends, includingthe Senate aidewho was at thereception whereMcCain first met (Cindy) Hensley, believedhe was separated atthat time. Albert "Pete"Lakeland, the aidewho was withMcCain at thereception in Hawaiiin April 1979, saidof the introductionto Hensley: "It waslike he was struckby Cupid's arrow. He was justenormouslysmitten." As the pair begandating, Lakelandallowed them tospend a weekendtogether at hissummer home inMaryland, he said. The senator hasacknowledged thathe behaved badly,and that his swiftdivorce andremarriage broughta cold shoulderfrom the Reagansthat lasted years. In the end, the "Getting to Know John McCain" commentary draws from a number of credible reports that were published during the 2008 presidential campaign. Many of the biographical details about John McCain and his first marriage are true, but they're also colored by the author's unfavorable view of McCain. A number of rumors about John McCain went viral in July and August 2017 as the senator's battle with brain cancer, and his deciding "no" vote on the Obamacare repeal bill drew attention to him. We investigated claims that Richard Nixon pardoned John McCainand that John McCain started the USS Forrestal fire.
