The flags at the White House, which were lowered over the weekend to mark the death of Sen. John McCain, are back at full-staff.

The flags at the U.S. Capitol, meanwhile, remained at half-staff on Monday to honor the Arizona Republican, who died Saturday of brain cancer. […]

U.S. Flag Code states that flags be lowered “on the day of death and the following day for a Member of Congress.”

LOL! Sure sounds like it, eh?

So the White House followed the normal protocol for McVain and @$$Press$$ has a problem because they didn't do more?

Seems like the media is once again ignorant and neglects to share facts and prefers to inject their radical hate filled anti- Trump rhetoric.

Tucker is good and Ingraham is OK. The Five is tolerable but Juan and Dana get on my nerves.

Still can see the picture/video of McCain's thumbs down vote of the Obama Care's Repeal Vote, with Chuck Shummer smiling? What a vile traitor to POTUS Trump, and his own Republican Party and the USA McCain was! Hope he's now trying to explain the unexplainable to the creator at his Judgement?

The lefties burn the Flag and now want to complain that Old Glory is flying at Full Staff. Remember when Obama flew the Rainbow Flag at our embassy ?

I guaranteed you that McCain, who admits making mistakes because of his temper, did this based on his temper and to spite Trump rather than do what was right for America - some patriot.

The lowering of the flag at the end of the day should have been good enough for Songbird.

For 8 years of Obama, it seems flags were permanently at half-staff

Excellent observation, and I noticed that, too, as others here. It's amazing how leftists use convention only when convenient, flaunt it as a coverup (Clinton holding a bible during Monica days), and otherwise ignore and debase it.
