May 6, 2018This is pretty weird, and I’m a bit uncomfortable even talking about it. There’s something hopeless and gruesome about discussing someone’s funeral while they’re still alive. I don’t know. I hate it, but this story is trending, so I suppose it’s worth mentioning.
As you know, John McCain is fighting Stage 4 brain cancer. I PERSONALLY think he should resign and use this time to spend as much time as possible with his family, but apparently, he doesn’t roll that way.
I guess people close to him are kinda sorta starting to plan his funeral, which is incredibly sad. All that being said, McCain has apparently informed them that he’s not interested in having President Trump attend.
People close to Sen. John McCain have told the White House that the ailing Arizona Republican does not want President Donald Trump to attend his funeral and would like Vice President Mike Pence to come instead, a source close to McCain confirmed to NBC News.
Ooooooooooooooook…
The senator, the 2008 GOP presidential nominee, said in an audio excerpt this week of his forthcoming memoir, “I don’t know how much longer I’ll be here,” according to a clip aired by NPR.
The White House did not immediately return a request for comment.
…
McCain’s wish for Trump to skip his funeral, first reported Saturday by The New York Times, comes as the two men have had a turbulent relationship, particularly since the 2016 presidential primary when Trump said McCain was considered a war hero only “because he was captured” during the Vietnam War and that Trump preferred military figures who avoided being taken prisoner by the enemy.
This is really sad, and I’m totally uncomfortable even talking about this. McCain is STILL ALIVE, hello.
My heart goes out to his family– especially Meghan. I can’t imagine how tough this must be on her.
Going home to Arizona to be with my family – will be back on @TheView Tuesday. Thank you all again for your prayers, patience, understanding and compassion during this time. It means the world to me and my entire family. 🇺🇸🌵
