Fox Host Slams Trump’s Tweet About McCain’s Death

The Hill reports:

Fox News analyst Brit Hume took a swipe at President Trump over his tweet offering condolences to the family of GOP Sen. John McCain (Ariz.), who died Saturday at the age of 81. Hume pointed out that Trump’s tweet avoided praising McCain himself, setting it vastly apart from the dozens of tributes to the late senator posted by lawmakers from both parties.

The Washington Post reported Saturday that Trump has told aides that he does not regret the comment mocking McCain for being a prisoner of war. The White House did lower flags to half-staff after the news of McCain’s death from brain cancer.

Still not a kind word about McCain himself. https://t.co/kKflh8Iq33
