Cindy McCain claims that she saw human trafficking at a Phoenix airport. Police found no evidence of any misconduct.
The widow of the late Senator John McCain, who co-chairs the Arizona Governor's Council on Human Trafficking, said on Monday that she witnessed what she believed was human trafficking at the Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport last week.
I came in from a trip Id been on and I spotted it looked odd it was a woman of a different ethnicity than the child, this little toddler she had, and something didnt click with me, she said on KTAR News.
I tell people 'Trust your gut.' I went over to the police and told them what I saw and they went over and questioned her and, by God, she was trafficking that kid.
But Phoenix police disputed McCains claims and said that officers determined there was no evidence of criminal conduct or endangerment, according to NBC 12.

(40,217 posts)The fact that she went to the police based on ethnicity is bad enough. But why would she make the statement by God, she was trafficking that kid? She continued to embellish the story by saying a woman was waiting for the man who bought the child. The police say none of that was true. Maybe Cindy needs to see a doctor.
She caused some innocent person fear and humiliation.

I guess that's her way of acknowledging she was wrong.
