John McCain's walking boot mysteriously appears to swap feet in latest photo

Photos on Sen. John McCain's Twitter feed appear to show the Arizona Republican wearing a boot sometimes on his left, sometimes on his right foot. The detail did not escape Twitter users who offered a slew of conspiracy theories in response. (screenshot)

The walking boot that Sen. John McCain has worn since receiving treatment for a recent injury appears to have swapped feet.

The Arizona Republican tweeted on Wednesday a photo of himself sitting next to his wife, Cindy McCain, attending their daughter's wedding at their ranch in Arizona.

The boot, which McCain has worn since his treatment for a minor tear in his right Achilles tendon at the beginning of the month, has appeared on his right foot in a number of photos the senator has shared on Twitter in the last couple weeks.

But Twitter users Wednesday noted that the boot in the latest photo appeared to be on his left foot. It's unclear whether the photo McCain shared was mirrored for some reason, but it has prompted a fierce debate and conspiracy theories on social media.

McCain, who is 81 years old, was also diagnosed with stage four glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer, over the summer. He has since returned to Washington, D.C., for work following the first round of chemotherapy and radiation.

There are no words remaining.

Arizona allowed it to happen again over the protestations of the nation.

What is there to say ?

Maybe because of the tumor he can’t remember which side the boot is supposed to be on?

Just like he can’t remember which party he belongs to, or which country he is supposed to be supporting.

This is quite easy to fix.. His wife needs to use a sharpie and write a large ‘L’ and ‘R’ on his boot and other footwear to help him start his day off “on the right foot” if you get my meaning..

I don’t believe any of the photos are mirrored images as his jacket buttons are on the right side in every shot.

Maybe it is a temporary fix to alleviate pain?

The achilles tendon tear is probably a story concocted to try to hide that the brain tumor is affecting his ability to walk.

That's why they chose a neck brace for Ted Kennedy.

Perhaps his first procedure has healed and he had the procedure done on the other foot recently.

Either way and immaterial of all that, this old fart is shite house rat crazy at best and is a flat out traitorous bastard at worst. He needs to be removed and gagged.

Simple: his mind is going. He forgot which leg to put the brace on.

Is the tumor so bad, that even his wife can't remember?

Easy enough to use any photo editor to make an opposite hand image.

Just sayin....
