Many of those watching at home were disgusted by the politicization of a man’s death, and used social media to comment on the irony-filled and inappropriate spectacle of elites using a funeral service (of all places) to attack others over partisanship and a lack of decency. The applause was even worse.

You just don't understand. McCain was part of the old school where republicans and democrats reached across party lines to get things done for our country. It's an era gone though which is unfortunate because we need moderates. They are the only ones who can get things done. The speeches were about bringing back civility, respect and kindness to our country, which is what our country needs. Do you have a problem with that.

Notice the major person not invited the left does not wish mentioned: Carol McCain.

The "hero's first wife". The one he ditched as when he came home she was disfigured from an accident, so after cheating on her regularly, he found a new model wife he was happy with, and divorced her.

Oh, I am sorry. I messed up the lefty's script on Saint McCain, didn't I?

Well said. But it won't cut any ice with the Trump Whining Choir. I owe you a rep point.

I hate their politics and policies . Period. I don't care what political factions you are. If we are friends or nieghbor or coworkers I see you as a person and get past your affiliation. I do however look at Republicans with a side eye for electing a moron......
Obviously there are people like you who are different & I don't mean any disrespect. But I think you're the minority in people who are feeling like this. I've seen many people act how I posted.

She was invited because they were still very close. Trump has cheated on all his wives but you still love him.

None taken. I think civil debate is important. Im interested In hearing everyone's story. We can debate politics and still be friends and family. That's how things get done.

That's the problem these days. Everything is a talking point used as propaganda to sway hearts and minds. Stevie wonder can see that McCain was a Republican yet the poster still tried to obfuscate the truth with that false comment. I really wonder why people do that.

But no trump. THAT is the kind of low life idiot that did not honor John McCain. Any veteran who votes for President Brainless is a hypocrite and a traitor.
Trump was not invited and respected McCain's wishes.

Do libs ever bother looking up the facts?
