A memorial service for Sen. John McCain is taking place in Washington Saturday. Former President George W. Bush and former President Barack Obama are giving eulogies at the service at the Washington National Cathedral. Both men defeated McCain in his two campaigns to become president, in 2000 and 2008. President Trump is not attending.

The service begins at 10:00 a.m. ET.

The "maverick" senator was previously honored at a memorial ceremony in his home state of Arizona Thursday, where he was eulogized by friend and luminaries such as former Vice President Joe Biden. Thousands of citizens paid respect as he lay in state at the Arizona Capitol.

Particularly nice was seeing the plane coming into California and then taking the casket to his Presidential library. The final service happened just as the sun set in the west. Gorgeous tribute, down to the final minutes.

Hate to say it but she comes across as more angry and bitter than Hillary.

Sad thing is Megan is undoubtedly more conservative than her father ever was... That she’s been infected with the #NeverTrumpism of her dad is saddest of all.

America is great. I guess Trump offended a lot of people with MAGA.

“I’m surprised Ivanka and Jared are there”.

Ivanka just showed more respect to mccain than to her dad.

She also got to hear meghan disrespect her dad in her eulogy.

it’s designed to show up President Trump as an outsider

He is an outsider.

John McCain funeral.

Political theater for the benefit of the politicians.

We will be hearing of the statue pretty soon.

Especially Obama and Hillary supporters. After 8 years of apologizing for America, we now have a President who wants to restore our greatness and make us even greater. Trump's message resonated enough to get him elected as President, something McCain couldn't do despite all his "greatness."

I didn’t watch the circus. The McCain family is filled with hate and rage. How tacky and spiteful of Meghan to use the funeral for political statement. Disappointed that Ivanka and Jared attended.

“Megan said there was no need to make America great again, it was always great. “

The funniest thing: Trump is getting liberals to say that but when under Obama they all denounced America.

MAGA!

No - that funeral was a trump bashing circus too.

She was a great American.

John McCain? Not so much.
