Earlier today, Fortune released an article on Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), in which McCain’s chief strategist, Charlie Black, said that another terrorist attack on U.S. soil “would be a big advantage” for McCain. Asked to respond to Black’s quote during a press conference in Fresno, CA, McCain rejected it: “If he said that, and I do not know the context, I strenuously disagree.”

Watch it.



Update: In a statement to TPM, McCain spokesman Tucker Bounds said Black "deeply regrets his comments," adding that they were "inappropriate."

Digg!
