The Veterans of Foreign Wars sent an email Friday prematurely announcing the death of Sen. John McCain, Arizona Republican, a longtime member of his local VFW Post.
“VFW Remembers Sen. John McCain,” reads the subject line of a mass email received by reporters Friday.
“WASHINGTON (Month xx, 2018),” the body of the actual email began. “The 1.7 million-member Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States and its Auxiliary are saluting the life of one of their own, U.S. Sen. John S. McCain III, who died (today/yesterday) after battling brain cancer.”
The press release was drafted to be used after Mr. McCain’s actual passing and was mistakenly sent out by the VFW’s public affairs division, the veterans group told The Washington Times.
“It was a mistake, and for that I apologize to all recipients and most especially to the McCain family,” said Joe Davis, VFW director of communications.
Wonder if he is really dead ?
