You might already know the story? John McCain?s wife was in Bangladesh visiting Mother Theresa?s Orphanage to try to help the children there. She encountered two young girls there, one with severe heart problems and another with a severe cleft palate. Frustrated at her inability to get assurance these children would be taken care of, she made arrangements to bring both girls back to the United States with her. One of the girls (Mickey) was adopted by family friends and the McCain?s adopted Bridget.
During John McCain?s first run for the Presidency in 2000, he was favored to win the South Carolina primary and likely the Republican nomination. Karl Rove, on behalf of George W. Bush who was trailing McCain in the polls. Put out a phone poll asking, ?Would you be more or less likely to vote for John McCain? if you knew he fathered an illegitimate black child?? McCain lost the primary and the nomination due to the slander perpetrated by the Bush Campaign.
In the wake of John McCain?s recent death from a form of brain cancer. I can?t help but notice the absence of coverage featuring his daughter Bridget? On multiple networks I see images of wife Cindy, his 106 year old mother Roberta, TV news personality Meghan McCain appears in every news story. Fox News ran a story about McCain?s wife and children sharing messages of love. Bridget was mentioned as existing but no photo or indication of her response to her father?s death.
Bridget as of this writing doesn?t have a Wikipedia page, her last post on her Facebook page was in 2017. She made a couple public appearances when McCain ran again for President in 2008. She also gave an interview about her father that same year in Scholastic magazine. She attended Arizona State University. There isn?t much more public information about the now 27-year-old Bridget and I wonder why?
I have no conspiracy theory, it may well be her preference to remain out of the limelight? It may be something else as well? Here?s wishing condolences to Bridget the missing daughter, who is grieving as well.
