John McCain Lies In State At The US Capitol — Here’s What That Honor Means

Former Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain is lying in state in the U.S. Capitol Friday, an honor held by very few in the Senate.

In order to receive this high honor, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell spoke “in coordination with Speaker of the House Paul Ryan, Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer and House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi,” according to CNN, so the public would have an opportunity to pay their respects and honor his service as the senator of Arizona for 35 years.

You should have seen ol megan mccain giving Pence the old evil eye when he mentioned Trumps name as he spoke. She's been putting on such a display of tears it was surprising how quickly that changed at the mention of Trump.

They better bury him soon before she dies of grief. She's been hyperventilating every time the cameras roll. I get she's in grief but dang get a hold! She didn't have any trouble doing so here.

Magan was accepted by the chattering class because of who her daddy was. Amazing how that trait made it’s way into her. John was full of it.

Evidently she looked more like a hired mourner than a family member.

This day was long in coming. Life is what it is. There’s no need to hyperventilate like that.

Shed some quiet tears and move on.

......”Evidently she looked more like a hired mourner than a family member...There’s no need to hyperventilate like that...Shed some quiet tears and move on.”.....

Well it isn’t as if his death was a tragedy....he led a full life and died from a disease at a ripe old age... not uncommon to ones life span. So megans display was well beyond grief or morning....she’s unstable and it showed.

I think her instability is related to the “put on” emotions.

She wasn’t exhibiting the emotions of a devastated woman.

Her ability to use the moment to trash the president makes that quite clear > IMO.

She a twisted individual.

In McCain we have the most gory display of over compensation I have ever seen. This is very surreal to me.

Maybe the worshipers will grab his coffin and spill his corpse out on the floor like Ayatollah Khomeini's send off.

That would be a hoot.
