ox News analyst Brit Hume took a swipe at President Trump over his tweet offering condolences to the family of GOP Sen. John McCain (Ariz.), who died Saturday at the age of 81.
Hume pointed out that Trumps tweet avoided praising McCain himself, setting it vastly apart from the dozens of tributes to the late senator posted by lawmakers from both parties.
My deepest sympathies and respect go out to the family of Senator John McCain, Trump tweeted Saturday after the announcement of McCains death. Our hearts and prayers are with you!
Still not a kind word about McCain himself, Hume replied.

You know what is happening to Fox News Channel at this very moment. They are losing thousands of viewers with every passing minute.
The American people are getting a good dose of what their lives will be if the Democrat Party ever gets full control of the U.S. Federal Government. Orwell, “1984” with Big Brother watching, spying, reporting on all Americans, that do not toe the Democrat Socialist line.
Fact is: John McCain was a very flawed human being, a hater, jealous, envious, cold hearted, no class, misfit bully.
Yes McCain had his good moments...but they were rare at best. Now if the media had presented mcCain as he really was we, would have seen and viewed the good and the bad...period. As it is what we got delivered over the TV was a cranked up Fairy tale told to us by the deep swamp establishment...SAD!!!
People aren’t used to an honest president that tells it like it is.
you are correct.
Had President Trump praised John McCain - his remarks would have been jumped on by the MSM as ‘hypocritical’.
Trump had the right approach. He did not draw attention to the bad blood with McCain or use it as an opportunity to talk about himself - unlike Hillary Clinton who mentioned her drinking buddy John McCain. I’m sure his children appreciated that/s)!!!
But the fact that he is dead doesn't earn him any undeserved praise that he did not deserve in life.
24 hour “news” channels and the people that populate them are nauseating.
Britt Hume is just using McCain's death to get his name in the news and to attack Trump. And that is sick!
Just wait until gigolo Jon Cary croaks.
If Trump praised McCain, they would have criticized him for being a hypocrite.
McCain said he doesnt want Trump at his funeral. McCain is the guy who sent his staffer to London to pick up the dossier and then McCain passed it to Comey. And McCain gave his famous thumbs-down preventing the repeal of Obamacare. This after campaigning that he would repeal it.
Trump doesnt play swamp games.

He could have said “the son-of-a-bitch was no good.” I commend his restraint.
She might have won the election....but she spent to much time drinking..
Brit Hume being a jerk.
If you know the history between McCain and Trump you’ll know exactly why Trump has no words of praise.
McCain was an actual Democrat in a Republican seat. He was not a peacemaker, he was not a compromiser, he was not a maverick. He was a traitor who worked for the left.
He hated people like me, and the feeling was mutual.
I hope Lyin Johnny made peace with God and found salvation through Jesus Christ.
I think President Trump was quite kind and classy in this situation.
Brit Hume can go fornicate himself.
McCain was a scumbag so everybody who has their lips on his deceased a** are in that bag.
I thought Trump’s tweet was spot on. No phony crocodile tears but stating his prayers to the family.
I think McCain, though flawed, was a good man and father. But he was not a friend to conservatives and as a politician, he stabbed conservatives in the back all the time and seemed to enjoy it.
Songbird died yesterday, so I don’t feel the need to hold my tongue (keyboard) and be polite. McCain was a petty jerk and helped destroy this country by getting Obama elected and turning the Democrat party over to Soros thanks to McCain/Feingold. George Soros was able to buy the Democratic party relatively cheap becaue of the limitation on contributions from that bill.
Yea, well just wait and see when MSM discovers that NONAME was implicated in all of this treasonous dossier collusion. I can see the news headlines Trump praises Traitor!
Guys. let this blow over.
Brit whined a bit. It’ll happen. McCain is the victim of the moment by the eeevil Trump.
Nobody in middle America is buying that crap, whether it is spewed by the DNC or Brit Hume or the Hill.
Water off a duck’s back.
Let’s focus on MAGA. :)
Not to mention the reports that he didn’t want Trump there (and those are proving to be correct)
Oh yeah, and then there’s that Keating Five thingie
And his singing like a canary @ the Hilton
John McCain was a spoiled b****** who always sought refuge behind Daddy’s and Grandaddy’s reputations and behind a biased a** media.
Along with his Butt Bois like Linda and Chuckie and Bushie (all of them)
Praise? GMAFB
I thought Pres Trump’s words were polite and proper without being dishonest-after all, he could have imitated Marc Antony instead...
“Friends, Romans, countrymen lend me your ears-I come not to praise Caesar but to bury him”...
