McCain To Vote Against Pineapple On Pizza

Sen.. John McCain (R-AZ) is picking a fight with the state of Hawaii.

Washington

It seems as though Senator John McCain is unable to vote yes on anything.

Mere hours after announcing that he would be voting no on the Graham-Cassidy bill to repeal Obamacare, the 81 year old Vietnam War veteran released a statement vowing to vote against a controversial Republican plan to endorse pineapple as a topping on pizza.

The bill, sponsored by Senator Orrin Hatch of Utah and supported by major pizza chains Dominos and Pizza Hut, would put the government’s stamp of approval on the controversial fruit appearing on pizza pies nationwide.  The legislation enjoys Democratic support as well, particularly from Hawaiian Senators Mazie Hirono and Brian Schatz, who see it as a potential boon for their state.

John McCain begs to differ. In his statement he said, “It was clearly a failure when President Obama tried to push through a similar bill, and this one is no better.  Along with my constituents, I firmly believe that American pizza is all about the pepperoni and cheese, and that pineapple is best kept to fruit cups. But ultimately, the government has no place legislating the appetites of its citizens.”

In response, Hirono and Schatz released a statement suggesting that McCain "should think twice before stepping foot in Honolulu."
