McCain is fighting an aggressive form of brain cancer.
Daughter Meghan McCain was horrified by the post.
I wouldn't wish seeing this about your own father on my worst enemy. May God help these people who inflict such cruelty in the world. https://t.co/2wV3yFI1Hn

While the president did not mention Arizona’s senior senator by name, he did point out that the Republican health bill failed because it was one vote short.
The 80-year-old one-time presidential nominee was one of three Republicans who voted “no.”
He and Trump have butted heads for quite a while, dating back to a 2015 insult of the Navy veteran’s war record.
McCain has also been critical of Trump’s handling of Russian matters, including White House ties to President Vladimir Putin and other officials, the firing of former FBI Director James Comey in the spring, and the lack of a clear policy in Afghanistan.
Earlier this week, Trump announced a new strategy for the war.
“I commend President Trump for taking a big step in the right direction with the new strategy for Afghanistan,” McCain, chair of the Senate Armed Services, said in a statement. He had released his own plan nearly two weeks ago.
He has finished the first round of chemotherapy.

Trump Supporter? How do we know this for sure?
One thing is for sure McLames service to his country is certain but his time in captivity is another story along with his voting record over the last few years and even more so recently.
He is not serving his constituents truthfully as a US Senator while posing as a Republican and saying anything he can to get elected than doing the opposite.
He is a traitor to the people who voted for him and elected him to represent their core principles.
McLame is beyond doubt a homegrown swamp monster of the worst kind and we created him. He is also without doubt a puppet to big money lobbyist.
Flake was hoping to carry the torch but has been exposed, lets squish that baby swamp monster before it gets it's tentacles any deeper into the murky bottoms of the swamp.
McCain is a Council of Foreign relations NWO operative and has no allegiance to the USA or the wellbeing of its citizens. He is for a world government and will never ever compromise with Trump. Hope that brain cancer spreads to the demons that have latched on to him over the years.
You are so smart Zero, it must be hard to deal with society with such genius running amok in your brain..You remind me more and more of Lloyd Christmas each and every day..He was the supposed Genuis of the Dumb and Dumber duo. Harry Dunne was the "dumber"..I will assume Cyrus the Virus (AKA Luki) is your Harry and that you two are in fact buddies.
