“Our country is not well right now. We’re not — we need to get our act together, number one, and step back and take a breath. You know, this country’s made up of immigrants, we’re made up of people of every color, every creed. And that’s what makes us special. And to somehow side up — black and white, or brown and white or whatever it may be, it’s just wrong.”
— Cindy McCain, in an interview with ABC News.
