[QUOTE="Old Man Jingles, post: 3702293, member: 18222"] [B]After John McCain’s Death, White House Flags Return to Full-Staff, and now it's at Half-Staff Again[/B] Flags at Capitol to stay at half-staff until senator’s burial on Sunday As many flags around the nation remained at half-staff on Monday to mourn Senator John McCain, a Republican who had survived a Vietnam War prison camp and weathered the gradual coarsening of politics within his own party, the American flag flew at full-staff but lowered to half-staff over the White House. Trump has yet to offer a single word of praise or recognition of McCain's service since he died Saturday after a battle with brain cancer. The White House offered no official statement, but Trump did tweet his "deepest sympathies and respect" to McCain's family. During the time he remained active in the Senate, McCain also expressed deep misgivings about Trump's job as President, criticizing his handling of world affairs and the example he has set for the country. McCain also made clear he did not want Trump to attend his funeral service, instead choosing former Presidents George W. Bush, a Republican, and Barack Obama, a Democrat, to eulogize him. Vice President Mike Pence is expected to represent the White House at McCain's funeral service. [/QUOTE]
