Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, said Monday it's ridiculous" that Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., reportedly does not want President Donald Trump to attend his funeral, and hopes the war hero has a change of heart.
"I think it's ridiculous," Hatch told Politico. "Well, he's the president of the United States and he's a very good man. But it's up to [McCain]. I think John should have his own wishes fulfilled with regard to who attends the funeral."
McCains closest family members reportedly informed the White House that the current plan is for the funeral to be held at Washingtons National Cathedral, and Vice President Mike Pence to attend but not Trump, according to The New York Times.
McCain has been battling an aggressive form of brain cancer for more than a year.
Former Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama have reportedly been asked to deliver eulogies at McCain's service.

Hey John, we can’t miss you if you don’t leave.
Many here dislike Hatch I think he’s great.
Now you can understand why their is a “Highway to hell” and a “stairway to Heaven.”
McCain is on the highway and only inviting his friends.
Hope he invites Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi
LOL. Yes, I’m using my cell and spellchecker is a pain. It finishes words and inserts them without my help.
I caught it after it was posted.
I am sure you meant to say there instead if “their”
***************
LOL
“if” = of?
No President, no state funeral.
Nobody should show up.
McCain would likely get up in the middle of the eulogies, two former presidents singing his praises, and shout, “you forgot to mention my humility!”
It’s a set up. If he goes, they will criticize it. If he doesn’t go, they will criticize it.
And still cashing his paycheck though he hasn’t been at his job for months.
OMG, Will McCain be on a caisson along Pennsylvania Ave., like FDR and JFK? All this hype and the guy is still alive. Dead is dead, McCain won’t know who is there. Whether there are 10 or 10,000, he won’t know. Once he’s gone and off the front page, 25 yrs from now, it will be McCain who?
Excellent!!!
McCain meets the requirements to be buried at Arlington a couple of times over - no matter what many think.
—
I’ve got a better idea, then. DJT can announce that HE wants to be buried in Arlington... right next to his best buddy John McCain.
McCain would then insist on being buried privately. LOL.
I call it “typical.”
Amen. McCains enduring malice will be his only legacy.
IMHO Meghan McStain has been a NEVER TRUMPER from day one. Ever list to her radio show (on America Now) before being fired?
