This time he spoke about his relationship with the late Arizona Republican John McCain.<\/p>\n<p>At a recent Presidential Medal of Freedom ceremony McCain was posthumously honored. Biden claimed he is the reason McCain ran against Barack Obama and himself for the presidency. He also said he hated running against McCain and claimed he never said a bad word about the Arizonian.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cI will admit to my Democratic friends I\u2019m the guy who encouraged John to go home and run for office,\u201d Biden stated. \u201cFor real, because I knew what incredible courage, intellect and conscience he had.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I am very pleased to see President Biden is honoring my dear friend John McCain with the Medal of Freedom.<\/p>\n<p>John dedicated his life to fighting for freedom, democracy, and human rights.\u00a0 There is no more deserving recipient of this honor.  <\/p>\n<p>Congratulations to the McCain clan.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Lindsey Graham (@LindseyGrahamSC) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LindseyGrahamSC\/status\/1542959502223450112?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 1, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The ceremony also honored 16 other new recipients, including champion gymnast Simone Biles and soccer star Megan Rapinoe. McCain\u2019s award was presented to his widow Cindy McCain who currently serves as the US Ambassador to the UN Agencies in Rome.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cWe ran against each other, which I didn\u2019t like, on tickets for the highest office in the land,\u201d he said. \u201cI was a candidate for vice president, he was the candidate for president. I never stopped admiring John. Never said a negative thing about him in my life because I knew his honor, his courage, and his commitment.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>However, Biden allegedly called McCain a \u201cangry man\u201d who wanted to \u201ctake the low road to the highest office in the land\u201d on the 2008 campaign trail.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/doc-who-saved-lives-during-covid-dies\/\">Doc Who Saved Lives During COVID Dies<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Joe Biden posthumously awards the nation\u2019s highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, to Sen.
