John McCain, the longtime senator and 2008 GOP presidential candidate who refused to leave fellow prisoners of war behind to escape years of torture in Vietnam, and whose maverick streak as Arizonas senior statesman at times frustrated fellow Republicans and confounded President Donald Trump, has died, his family confirmed in a statement Saturday.
He was 81and had been diagnosed with brain cancer in July 2017.
McCain had decided to discontinue medical treatment for the glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer, his family announced on Aug. 24. He had surpassed expectations for his survival, but "the progress of disease and the inexorable advance of age render their verdict," the statement said.

Are you familiar with what John McCain did when families of MIA and POW were in Washington trying to find out what happened with their loved ones? It was very wrong.
In cahoots with one John F'ing Kerry, IIRC.
It is sobering that we are commanded to pray for and forgive our enemies.
Apparently those two collaborated with them instead.

Beautiful, thank you. This is really not the time for political rehashing but a time to ask for God’s blessing on his departed soul.
You are advocating defecating on police cars, and trashing FReepers in the same sentence?
Ozone...?
And the PC mods that are killing FR deleted it.
Was that during Bush’s re-election campaign?
-I hope you mean deceased.
In this case, the difference between those two words (in public usage) was only a day.
Thank you for your service to our great country, Mr. McCain.
Now, let’s MAGA!
Saw the assh*le in Minnesota when he said Barack Hussein Obama was a ‘good man’. Roast in hell.
“...Today we lost an American original. ...”
Oh, he was an “original” all right...
Yep! :-)
.
At least you arent a hypocrite.
Im so sick of these turn the other cheek, Goody two shoes snowflakes who are scolding freepers who are expressing their honest opinion.
McCain wasnt a good man (remember ISIS?) and Im not going to be a hypocrite and pretend to grieve.
Out of respect for my blood pressure, I will avoid all TV news shows this week.
Thats all I have to say.
We planned to watch Judge Jeanine today on FOX, but she spent the entire hour, as far as we could tell, on McCain, and we switched to ID channel. Then another hour about McCain followed on FOX taking up Greg Gutfield show. I am sure CNN was all-McCain. ABC devoted time to him also.
