WASHINGTON, DC — Sen. John McCain attacked his Democratic rival Monday for contradicting himself by naming an official to his campaign who allegedly received preferential loan treatment from a controversial mortgage company that Sen. Barack Obama has been criticizing on the trail.
“I think it suggests a bit of a contradiction talking about how his campaign is gonna be not associated with people like that. Clearly he is very much associated with that,” McCain told Fox News’ Carl Cameron in an interview today, referring Jim Johnson who Obama tapped to head up his VP search process.
The Wall Street Journal reported Saturday Johnson received more than $7 million in loans from Countrywide Financial, at least two loans of which were at below-market rate, stemming from a relationship with the company’s CEO, Angelo Mozilo.
