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.

Predictably, Brit Hume is leading the MSM charge in glorifying McCain. The man accomplished zilch in the US Senate, but he managed to make himself rich while selling this nation out to the highest bidder.If he wasn’t such a Trump hater his death would of barely got a three minute story last night on the news. The MSM are using McCain’s death to use another narrative against the president.
John McCain: Go to Hell If You Dont Like that I Passed Pee Dossier to FBI
You first, John.
So Brit, what’s the problem. Remind me of the last kind work McCain had for Trump. Crickets......
POTUS was polite to a man who criticized POTUS and knifed him in the back several times. The McCain myth is just that, a myth.
Brit Hume is a legend in his own MIND.
I can’t believe there was a time when I liked and respected Hume.
McCain called us Trump supporters crazy trash..why should President Trump offer a nice word about McCain, McCain never said a nice word about us. At least Trump is NO hypocrite unlike the rest of the commie media who kiss McCain’s ass now but 10 years ago called him a Nazi white supremacist Hitler wannabe
They are P.O.’d that president Trump hasn’t joined their Mutual Admiration Society and doesn’t play their games.
Swamp Rules dictate that a politician has to publicly utter false words of syrupy admiration for another politician upon his death.
They are expected to maintain the pretense that national political figures are all upstanding, honorable people who sacrifice their lives to serve the country and in return are loved and respected by Americans everywhere.
Even when we know the politician in question may be a greedy, lying, back-stabbing scumbag who looks down on everyday Americans and will sell the country out for a pat on the back and a secret cash contribution from America’s worst enemies.
F him. It is no one’s business how we express condolences
Trump’s tweet was kind and caring.
I don’t recall President Truman sending condolences after the death of Adolph, and not a kind word said at all.
They started it, with Songbird leading the choir. Nazi, fascist, fake dossier, deranged, deplorables...etc etc.
So, Trump is honest. Hume is not.
Why is Hume working on a Sunday when hes in such obvious mourning?
Great Point!
Just back from the VFW.
NO one even spoke of McCain.
Flags were at half staff.
,,,”today the RINOS and never trumpers were rehabbing their OWN status on the body of the late senator.
The hypocrisy was palatable.

This is the week to turn off the TV, thrown the newspaper in the trash and turn off the radio. You might even want to ignore your social media, for the most part. Plan some great meals for your family and include some banana pudding. Go to Wednesday night service at your church. Watch the Andy Griffith Show, Everybody Loves Raymond, The Middle and Frasier. Listen to some good music. Clean out and take some things to Goodwill. Mow the grass yourself. Take a daily walk. Read your Bible and pray for those you know who are sick or suffering. Do something kind for a neighbor. Send a card or call a friend you have not seen for a long time. Live life..It is short.
There was no replacement bill. It was only a repeal bill. And that’s part of what troubled McCain.
On behalf of my Dad and Uncle.
Brit Hume just went down a couple of steps on the credibility ladder. Hasn’t he been paying attention to how John McCain has tried to interfere with is agenda recently because he was jealous of Trump’s getting elected president? He must be living in a cloustered convent.
I haven't watched Fox news since Memememegyn Kelly torpedoed it into oblivion.
Brit Hume has the power and authority to approve the President's statements?
