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 Trump’s 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 McCain’s death. “Our hearts and prayers are with you!”
“Still not a kind word about McCain himself,” Hume replied.

Hume should worry about why his son went over to the dark side & then offed himself.
Worthless commentary by & large over the years from a D.C. insider.
Wonder what is being said about McCain on One America News???
I have been gone most of the day and haven’t looked...
what was the real purpose behind McCain’s rather sudden trip to Australia in May 2017?
VIDEO: 10:25: ABC 7.30 Report: Leigh Sales: Putin a bigger threat than ISIS says John McCain
Posted Mon 29 May 2017
TRANSCRIPT:
LEIGH SALES, PRESENTER: Powerful Republican Senator John McCain is in Australia as a guest of the United States Study Centre at the University of Sydney. We sat down in Parliament House this afternoon...
LEIGH SALES: But you also have a President at the top of the tree that many people, including here in Australia, look at and feel very, very nervous about?
JOHN MCCAIN: I am nervous from time to time...
LEIGH SALES: How much of a threat to global security do you consider the Russian President Vladimir Putin?
JOHN MCCAIN: I think he is the premiere and most important threat, more so than ISIS.
I think ISIS can do terrible things, and I worry a lot about what is happening with the Muslim faith and I worry about a whole lot of things about it but it is the Russians who are trying, who tried to destroy the very fundamental of democracy and that is to change the outcome of an American election.
I have seen no evidence they succeeded but they tried and they are still trying. They are still trying to change elections.
They just tried to affect the outcome of the French election. So I view, Vladimir Putin, who has dismembered the Ukraine a sovereign nation, who is putting pressure on the Baltics.
I view the Russians as the far greatest challenge that we have. We have done nothing to the response the election last November to respond to Vladimir Putin’s attempt to change the outcome of our elections.
So way to go Vladimir, we haven’t responded at all to it...

hmmm. invited by our now ex-Prime Minister Turnbull’s son-in-law, Turnbull representing the same party as Alexander Downer. McCain’s arrival to be just after Mike Pence’s visit:
26 Apr 2017: Canberra Times: US Republican senator John McCain to visit Canberra and Sydney
By Tom McIlroy
The 75-year American alliance, trade and international security will be on the agenda as the former presidential candidate visits Sydney and Canberra as a guest of Sydney University’s United States Studies Centre...
Fairfax Media understands Senator McCain will deliver a keynote speech on America’s overseas alliances, following an invitation from the centre’s research director James Brown, Mr Turnbull’s son-in-law.
Part of a wider trip through Asia, the visit is planned for May and comes after US Vice President Mike Pence visited Australia last week...
The two leaders clashed over a refugee people swap deal signed under the Obama administration, causing days of headlines about the usually rock solid alliance, seeing Senator McCain and other senior Republicans call out the president’s harmful treatment of Australia...
A regular critic and target of Mr Trump, the respected Arizona senator later called Australia’s ambassador to the US, Joe Hockey, to express support for the alliance...

Trump could have spent hours detailing how magnificent McCain was, and if he also did so in 10 different languages it wouldn’t be enough.
Brit Hume must not know, or he cannot compute, that history may not be favorable to the late John McCain. Certainly the facts are there in connection with his POW and military experience and his Senatorial service.
There is much information about the quality of his service that has been ignored or covered up.
Brit Hume should know or, perhaps, practice real journalism instead of taking pot shots at the president.
Public statements by President Trump have proven to be true. The media has a very poor record.
Hume guaranteeing his spot at the District of Corruption cocktail parties.
Just a backhole.
I seem to recall the msm telling it like it is about McCain when he ran against Obama.
Excellent post, btw, and I agree FOX is working overtime trying to be MSNBC.
McButtface was a d*ck, buttwipe, and dumb*ass.
Trump merely avoided having to speak the truth about this bottom dwelling Democrat. Yes, Democrat.
My faith leads me to believe that there is a chance that buttface just may avoid where many of us believe he belongs.
That is up to the G*d that liberals still think does not exist.
Brit Hume has been on the anti-Trump train forever. Glad I stopped watching.
Mind your language please; there are ladies present.
palpable?
Um, McCain DIS-INVITED TRUMP from his own funeral months ago, but Trump is supposed to say a “kind word” about the S.O.B.? NFW.
Mind your language please; there are ladies present.
—
If any of us use any language you ladies are offended by, please let us know so we can make a note and never use a word that offends you again because, really, we only exist in this world not to offend people because that’s the only way not to be offended ourselves.
Excuse me, now, I need to crawl into my linguistic safespace with a cuddle puppy.
Hume has never been the same since then.
“Well... bye.”
Trump can’t do anything right...… So tired of these people. I used to respect Brit. No more.
Brit Hume observed Trump didn’t try to lie about McCain’s accomplishments.
You know, more proof that Trump is not your typical ‘politician’.
Very well said and thank you very much for your service. :D
