They kinda are, it's what they do. Crying fAkE nEwS when your feelings get hurt isn't an argument. All official accounts say the fire started from a rocket misfiring. But I'm sure a random facebook post told you different and you bought it like a good gullible Trump supporter

external stores station 2 (port inboard station) to fire.[6] The rocket was later determined to be missing the rocket safety pin, allowing the rocket to launch."

McCain graduated in the bottom 1% of his class. He crashed planes. Captured, he made propaganda broadcasts. In the Senate, he supported obviously stupid policies. Nobody's perfect.

Right... those are actual things. Causing 132 deaths on his ship (which is a constant talking point of many Trump supporters) is fake. But people are easily manipulated and gullible. They see it in a facebook post, they regurgitate it, now people are saying it everywhere as fact.

Right, there are examples where they have lied. But there is absolutely no reason to believe this is one of those instances. The only 'evidence' to support it is a random person saying it. Problem is that random person's slander got spread, now it bears weight in people's minds.

The fact that his father was the CINCPAC is a *huge* reason to believe this is one of those instances but obviously there's not going to be definitive proof. The rest of his track record of incompetence and narcissistic destruction is more "reason to believe".

A CINCPAC has a finite amount of influence: My judgment is that it probably would not extend to a shielding a screwup that ruined a fleet carrier and got a lot of people killed. Avoiding getting kicked out of Annapolis: more plausible.
