Whitford and Schiff both recalled how McCain had conveyed his opposition to Bush just days before the inauguration. “He was going on and on about how horribly unqualified and untested Bush was, how the campaign had attacked his family,” said Whitford, a registered Democrat. “Someone said, ‘If he’s so terrible, why did you support him?’ ” According to Whitford, McCain replied that, as a member of the GOP, he always intended to back the party’s nominee. Then, the actor said, someone asked McCain whether he had voted for Bush. “He put his finger up to his lips, shook his head and mouthed, ‘No way,’ ” Whitford said. Schiff remembered the conversation the same way. “My memory was he said pretty clearly, no, he did not vote for him,” he said. “I discussed it with others afterwards. It was clear to everyone he said no. Did he shout it from the rooftops? No.” Schiff, a registered independent, said he was discussing the exchange, which he had considered private, only because Huffington already had made it public. McCain is such a hypocrite ☀
