The McCain camp reported 15,000 but those at the Capitol said it was a whole lot less. The trip through the streets, even though the route was well advertised, had only a few scattered here and there in groups of twos and threes.
I heard there were around 3,000 at the church the next day but there are over 4,000 active members. Someone said the schools let out early so the kids could watch but I didn’t see them so don’t know the accuracy of that.
The state police at the AZ capitol building reported 1500, not 15,000. The 15,000 number came from the liars on the McCain staff. No possibility there were that many casket viewers.
North Phoenix Baptist Church holds about 3500. Except for the stage/podium, the lights were out in the sanctuary during the funeral service, I wonder why. Could it be the church was sparsely filled and the McCain goons were embarassed and didn’t want the poor attendance televised?
It’s a myth that McCain was beloved by Arizonans, total myth.
