Statement from the President (McCain)

WhiteHouse ^ | 8/27/2018 | WhiteHouse

"You’d think Roosevelt had passed away or some such thing."

I thought similarly.

Since when does a Senator warrant having flags flown at half mast until his funeral?

The Code says for a day and a half.

Not "as long as we are driving his corpse across the country so that a grieving Nation can pay their respects"

McCain was NOT Abe Lincoln.

I doubt that many people will be gathering along I-70 to pay tribute.

I won’t be watching any of the coverage either.

I sometimes say I'm old enough to remember when the American Flag flew at full staff.

We seem now to be a nation of drama queens in constant mourning about a series of never ending events.
