A longtime confidant of John McCain, the late Republican senator from Arizona, has a message for American voters on Tuesday: “Rebuke” President Donald Trump and support Democrats in the midterm elections.
Mark Salter, a former chief of staff and speechwriter for McCain, tweeted that voters should elect Democrats “in most cases” for the good of the country.
“Vote For the Democrat (in most cases),” Salter tweeted. “That feels weird to write. But the bigger the rebuke of Trump the better for the country. Resist.”
Salter has said he often spoke for McCain and in fact, wrote several books for him too. He may have also controlled his Twitter posts.
Salter, often referred to as McCain’s alter ego, co-authored several books with the veteran lawmaker and served as one of his most trusted advisers for nearly 30 years. McCain died in August.
Salter is also the guy who urged the IRS to investigate Conservatives, a move approved by McCain. READ MORE:
