Cliff Schecter claims in his book, The Real McCain, that during a 1992 campaign stop, “Cindy playfully twirled McCain’s hair and said, ‘You’re getting a little thin up there.’ McCain’s face reddened, and he responded, ‘At least I don’t plaster on the makeup like a trollop, you c***.”’

Is it true? I really want to use it as an example of his sexism, but I don’t want to if it is false.

The only “response” McCain has made to the allegation I’ve seen so far was when a man asked him at a town hall and he refused to respond.

What does Fluther think?
