Kasich slams White House for returning flags to full staff after McCain's death
The CNN panelists on Monday night acknowledged McCain's sacrifices to his country, but Santorum insisted that Trump's response was not relevant to the public discourse.
Three Republicans pledging loyalty to the president were fighting to succeed Jeff Flake, who quit the Senate after becoming a vocal critic of the president. The episode highlighted the outsider president's impulse to harbor personal resentments regardless of political repercussions.
With John McCain's death Saturday, the Senate Armed Services gavel will nearly certainly pass to James M. Inhofe of Oklahoma, marking a significant change in leadership style and priorities for the powerful panel. Trump also delayed issuing the customary proclamation for flags to remain at half-staff for longer than the two-day minimum. "John McCain's service to our country and, in his honor, have signed a proclamation to fly the flag of the United States at half-staff until the day of his interment".
South Carolina's senior senator said he's following the lead of McCain, who said after losing the 2008 election to Barack Obama, "He's my president now".
McCain was a frequent critic of President Donald Trump on everything from his leadership style to his Russian Federation policy.
There were the bad dad jokes McCain liked to tell. Americans never quit. We never surrender.
While he eventually agreed to lower the White House flag in honor of Sen.
The longtime feud between the two men reached its peak on Monday, after the White House raised its flag to full staff, prompting outrage at what people took to be a slight of the late senator.
John McCain's brother calls death an 'incredible shock'
There, "military pallbearers and band support, and a horse and caisson transport" will partake in a funeral service at the U.S. John McCain , it's easy to focus on all that he did - the sacrifice and victories, the wounds of war and the joy in service.
Trump tweeted condolences to McCain's family, but did not mention McCain or issue any statement. "McCain and Adm. Larson represent what was the best of the nation, that feeling that they needed to do something important in service to the nation", said Huey, a Naval Academy professor from 2010 until his 2017 retirement.
All five living former USA presidents issued statements praising McCain.
He also said he'd agreed to the McCain family's request for military transportation of the senator's remains from Arizona to Washington.
In death, McCain himself had more to say.
From flying at half staff over the weekend since Saturday evening, when the McCain family announced the senator's passing, it climbed back to the normal full staff position Monday morning and then dropped back to half mast after hours of mounting public outrage and derision. "He's crawling the damn walls because they're running story after story on John McCain and he hates it because he's not the center of attention". "I like people who weren't captured".
"You don't have to cow-tow like Rick's doing right now on TV and make excuses for a president who does not deserve excuses", Sellers said. He later withdrew his support after the release of the infamous "Access Hollywood" tape in which Trump bragged about groping women.
Davis choked up a several points as he read McCain's words. The aide told colleagues they should disregard McCain's opposition to Trump's Central Intelligence Agency nominee because "he's dying anyway".
