he endorsed trump in 2016. if you remember that event where trump came on stage and renounced birtherism and said he knew obama was american. he was there. maybe they both had a change of heart. birtherism is not the only conspiracy theory he has promoted. he also promoted this conspiracy theory about mccain, and that s all it is. it is a baseless lie that was first brought up in 2008 during the presidential campaign. back then, politifact called it a pants on fire lie, saying there s no evidence at all to support the claim that mccain helped the enemy in vietnam. on the contrary, as most of us know, he s an american hero. i encourage people to check out politifact and note that john mccain never gave anything of value to the north vietnamese. has fox commented about this? yeah sort of. anchor charles pane said he didn t hear the comment this morning, he didn t hear it said, buzz a producer was talking in his ear. whether you believe that or not, here is the rest of what payne said
