Senator McCain shared some tragic news as to his health and status of his brain tumor. PJ Media reports:
WASHINGTON — A little more than a year after announcing that he is suffering from a brain tumor, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) announced today that he won’t be receiving any more treatment.
“Last summer, Senator John McCain shared with Americans the news our family already knew: he had been diagnosed with an aggressive glioblastoma, and the prognosis was serious,” read a statement from the six-term senator’s family. “In the year since, John has surpassed expectations for his survival.”
“But the progress of disease and the inexorable advance of age render their verdict. With his usual strength of will, he has now chosen to discontinue medical treatment,” they continued. “Our family is immensely grateful for the support and kindness of all his caregivers over the last year, and for the continuing outpouring of concern and affection from John’s many friends and associates, and the many thousands of people who are keeping him in their prayers. God bless and thank you all.”
The chairman of the Armed Services Committee, 81, was diagnosed with glioblastoma, the same aggressive type of tumor suffered by late Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.) and Beau Biden, after pathology was conducted on a blood clot removed from behind his left eyebrow in July 2017.
Senator McCain’s legacy remains conflicted – his service in Vietnam and deep insight on military budgets made him a hero to Republicans, but his controversial “spoiler” votes against conservative legislation like repealing Obamacare has often left him accused of being a “RINO”.
He should immediately resign from the Senate and spend some quality time with his family. He should have done it a year ago!
I would hope Mcain would resign so we can get on the business of true conservatism
I can’t be as nice as some will. John McCain was an arrogant pos in the military, A “hotdog” pilot and you jet jockeys know what that is, and it most likely got him knocked down and captured. I did three tours in ‘Nam. When we had a hotdog to “pickle” below altitude and bring home tree limbs the comment was “he pulled a John McCain” Then McCain brought his arrogance into the political field. We can be glad he never became president. Looking back I think maybe that brain tumor has been working on him for a long time.
I don’t wish death on anyone or the pain on a loving family. I do wish that McCain had resigned when he realized what was happening as I don’t believe that his brain was function over the last year or longer (from when he first got this cancer) as liking or not liking Trump should not have influenced his vote on the repeal Obamacare and some additional votes since the diagnosis. His “War Hero” status will forever be disputed by the families who lost their loved ones because of his actions and should be remembered as he was no hero. I have not cared for McCain for many years and could never understand how he kept getting re-elected other than he was the incumbent and it was not a blue state.
I agree with you, Janet. He is far from a hero, and his treasonous acts will follow him down through history as they are being exposed for the hateful traitor he really is. He is even below that of Hanoi Jane because his arrogance and his elite status because his dad and his grandfather were 4 star generals got him to where he is, and NOT on his own ethics, morals, integrity, or lack thereof on all accounts.
This man is a monster. And the brain tumor made him worse.
I have known others who had brain tumors, and they became mean, vindictive, hateful, impossible to get along with, and they lost the ability to reason and think rationally. McCain should have never been allowed to remain in Congress after he was diagnosed. Any brain surgeon will tell you that it changes their entire personality and their state of mind. We the people should have been able to vote on this matter of his compromised mind on whether he was mentally fit to continue to serve knowing of his irrational behavior. I would have voted “NO” and voted this RINO out of our Congress over all of my family and over OUR government, and OUR country.
Yes, I think the ‘hero’ syndrome took over McCain’s life, but one must feel sorry for anyone coming to the end of life and realizing that now, there is only truth!
general Patton would have shot mcain
funny how the majority of the senators speaking out with kind words and words of concern are from Dem’s…and reason being …because he was ONLY a REP / conservative in name only….HE SCREWED OVER THE PEOPLE AND SUCK HIS NOSE UP THE DEM’S ASSES.. He does not get to leave this world with just acknowledging his time in the military without also acknowledging how he LIED AND SCREWED OVER THE PEOPLE TO GET RE ELECTED…..AND HE REALLY DIDN’T DO THE VETS / ANY BIG FAVORS, …ALSO the brain cancer he has …only 5 % or less survive …this man was given treatment at our expense that not ONE OF OUR LOVE ONE WOULD OF BEEN GIVEN…..he’s disgusting and I for one will NOT remember him by his service yrs….I see him as a liar, and a disgrace
John McCain ran as a republican, but he is an elite liberal communist democrat Mafia mole who infiltrated the republican party to obstruct anything the conservatives try to do to save our country from their communist party.
This is what the communists do, they infiltrate to destroy. They told us back in 1950 that they would infiltrate our schools and teach our kids to hate America and to love communism and embrace it, that they would infiltrate our churches to turn us against God and Christianity, that they would infiltrate our military, and infiltrate our highest offices, and that they would flood and invade our country with our enemies and they would conquer us within a generation without firing a shot.
Do you see how they have succeeded?
I agree with you none of us would ever get the medical treatment he recieved. He also loved the dems
he was never a republican he was no better than al gores vice presidential candidate from Connecticut that man ran as a independent when he didn’t get dem primary in his state

McCain is a lowlife . I don’t wish anyone harm but he sure didn’t give a crap about others with his choices to Rat .. He’s a Liar and has done More Harm than good in the senate and in Vietnam .. useless idiot !!
Yeah…. He’s pretty “cold”. Never had to acknowledge he killed those men. Gave up flight routes that cost us 60 planes and pilots. “Songbird McCain” earned his Hanoi Hilton nickname. Grim Reaper comes for us all…shoulda come for McCain after a war crimes tribunal
AGREE 100%. I regret my vote for him as the WORST vote I’ve made. A SWAMP creature of the biggest kind.
Gustavo, we have a saying in my country that says: DIOS CASTIGA SIN PALO Y SIN REBENQUE, which translated is: GOD PUNISHES WITH NO WHIP AND NO STICK (OR CANE). And whether you’re a believer or not, I’ve seen this come true many, many times. No need to wish death to anybody. God will certainly take care!!
With you 100%. He just might go to hell for his crimes against humanity!
Die you asshole die! As a first generation American, I lost 17 relatives burned to death by Croatian Nazis in their church in the village of Vojnic, Croatia in 1942 …in 1995 during “Operation Storm” the last 5 relatives of my name were too old and too sick to flee. I was notified a month later by the Red Cross they were found with their throats slit. 15 retired American generals from MPRI in Virginia went to Croatia to secretly arm and train these former Nazis and to plan “Operation Storm,” …it was Assholes like McCain who applauded our military bombing of our Serbian allies of two World Wars who lost a combine total of 48% of their population in those wars. The USA used “uranium tipped” bombs in 1999 on the Serbs. Today cancer and birth defects are at a 3,000% increase. McCain sent his wife to Kosovo to kiss the ass of President Hashim Tachi who headed the Albanian KLA terrorists and who is linked to the organ harvesting of Serbian POW’s. McCain’s hands are cover in the blood of thousands of Serbian people including my relatives, may he burn in hell for eternity…I wish he could take Madeleine Albright and George Soros with him…May he suffer until he takes his last breath. Then tell me where this mean and vindictive man is buried so I can piss on his grave…
A lot of this I was unaware of which makes him not just a traitor but a dispicable human being. Perhaps his brain cancer and suffering are part of his Karma for the horrible things he has done to our soldiers and seamen and to the Serbs. Traitor to his dying breath!
Exactly
Investigate what he did to POW families after the Vietnam War. Also investigate his colluding withe the enemy while a POW.
Let him rot in hell.
HERE HERE WHISH HIM A SAFE TRIP TO HELL !!!
Amen to that McCain is a traitor and has the blood of hundreds if not thousands on his hands!
My heart goes out for Meghan, She’s close to her father.
I didn’t particularly care for Senator Cain I felt he was more Democrat than Republican. At the same time, I have no hatred toward him as he is a human and as a Christian, I would not wish this death upon him. I pray that God shows him mercy and make him have very little if any pain. God bless his family and his friends.
He should immediately resign but the selfish senile hateful RINO and enemy of our Constitutional Republic he is will take his last breath siding with the Socialist Marxists Democrats in hate of President Trump.
That’s for damn sure. The sooner the better he resigns. Then perhaps we will get a conservative instead of RINO!
From what I’ve read, his wife will take over his seat upon his death as a deal has been made with the Governor of Arizona. So good luck with that one, unfortunately. We can always hope, though.
It is sad in many ways, although we might not agree with someone’s political views. We should respect what they have done for the country.
Its a fact that since Oboma we as a country have become more devided, politically, Racially, etc then ever before.As Democrats we lost the election, and we have since done nothing but try to undermine Trump at evey turn.
Its clear thst he is doing what he said he would do and most of it is making the country better.
As an American it is sad to travel outside the country and listen to what people say about us as Democrats.
We have no plan other than to impeach Trump.
We used to work together to make things better, now we want to make things worse so we can blame trump.
Try working as a team and see just how great we can really be
obama is the biggest enemy, the most vicious enemy to this great country. he’s brainwashed millions of American people, even to this day our country still seriously divided, whose fault? obama.
thank you Tucker.
How refreshing to hear an American speak out for the nation.which ever side we depend on and support America should come first. Having said that I understand the disagreement with policy but not the hatred and violence
75
I appreciate your statements. I believe that your thoughts are the first I have heard from the left that admit to the resist plan being the only thing your side has done! I hope you tell others that!
You sir are a true American. It is refreshing to hear (especially from a Democrat) the truth about our country and it’s division and the lack of support for our President Trump. You view the world with your eyes open and speak the truth. As a Republican (former Democrat) I grow weary hearing the Democrats blame President Trump for the division in our country when in fact it began with President Obama’s tenure as President. Obama did everything he could to divide this nation and did a good job doing it. Now Democrats want to blame President Trump and it’s not right. I long for a way to heal this country and I believe it will start with people like you who see it for what it is and are not blinded by hatred. I pray people will stop the hatred and move forward to a united country so that we can become a more loving accepting people. As for Senator John McCain I pray for his journey to be as peaceful and painless as possible and for peace and healing for his family God bless America!
That’s the only sane thing I’ve heard out of a democrat in 2 years.
The only thing McCain did for his country was collude with the enemy in Vietnam. He should have been shot for treason.
All the dumpocraps are sadden by the news, as McCain was their best friend. Don’t feel sorry for him he was nothing special and a coward.
His ‘hot start’ aboard the carrier, causing the death of many sailors, gives me no reason to feel sorry about his condition.
Absolutely! And, in addition to that cover up, the Tokyo Rose tapes. And trading air route information that they estimate cost us 60 planes and pilots. He was on a lust of 30 (Kerry was another of them) that were pardoned by Nixon, instead of hanging because of his Admiral Father, and the Honorable service of his Admiral grandfather. Dying. Dead. Good. Should have hung!
I am saddened to see anyone die a slow lingering death however to call McCain a war hero is a bald face fabrication. He rightfully earned the name songbird while APOW at the Hanoi Hilton. He was also a terrible senator since he could not remember that he was supposed to be a conservative Republican not a liberal socialist . If he were a true American he would have resigned or year ago and allowed Arizona to have an active conservative Republican senator and not this too sick to vote RINO.
Nd let’s not forget how he treated his first wife who was on her feathbed !!!!
Deathbed or featherbed? 🙂
Truth! Despicable! Never a hero other than in his own mind and the stories he’s told.
I am not happy about McCain’s prognosis. Loosing a father and a husband is hard on family. Loosing him in government is much less of a problem.
Not everything should be viewed through a politician lens, Kimberly. If you are not saddened by someone, and particularly a war hero, dying from aggressive brain cancer, not sure if your priorities. I often disagreed with his actions as a senator, but this is about a person in the final days of his life.
McCain is no war hero.
I’m sorry for his wife and family. McCain could have left a real legacy to the American people but he turn to the Democrats who are evils, he will see them there in a short time.
Sad that I’m the last days of his life he still chose to attack our president and spew hate and venom.. very sad indeed….he didn’t have to do it!
WAR HERO???
McCain’s collaboration had very real consequences. Retired Army Colonel Earl Hopper, a veteran of World War II, Korea and Vietnam, contends that the information that McCain divulged classified information North Vietnam used to hone their air defense system…McCain told his North Vietnamese captors, “highly classified information, the most important of which was the package routes, which were routes used to bomb North Vietnam.
He gave in detail the altitude they were flying, the direction, if they made a turn… he gave them what primary targets the United States was interested in.”
Hopper contends that the information McCain provided allowed the North Vietnamese to adjust their air-defenses.
As result, Hopper claims, the US lost sixty percent more aircraft and in 1968, “called off the bombing of North Vietnam, because of the information McCain had given to them.”
As a Conservative, I am not sad to have one less DEMORAT/RINO!!! He Definitely was against OUR PRESIDENT,while in bed with barr/Crokilary,chuckie,OLD HAG nanc!!!
Can’t say I am saddened by the news. He has been a horrible enemy of Trump’s and a poor representative of Conservative values. Eighty one is far from young.
Cold!
That’s only if you falsely believe him to be a ear hero. A pardon by Nixon kept him from a meeting woth a noose at Leavenworth. Him, Kerry, and approximately 28 others. He traded secrets for comforts for himself…and medical care. That’s after he caused some 130 sailors to die iin the fire he started, showboating an explosive take off. “Wet Start Johnny” was his nickname. Dumping fuel to ignite it ad he started up…causes an explosion. That explosion him or another to drop missiles that exploded. He ran from the deck. Others ran toward it to save people. He ran into a pilot and said, “Bill, oh thank God, I thought id killed you”. He was the only man removed from the crew of the Forestall, and within 24 hours. Friends in high places covered for him, his father’s friends. His father, an Admiral
