    FULL STAFF: As American flags across the nation continue to remain at half staff to honor John McCain, the flag on top of the White House has been brought to full staff, less than 48 hours after the senator and war hero's death. https://cbsn.ws/2MCQ013 pic.twitter.com/Ooz3c5yCSR

        The flag is only supposed to be flown at half-staff on the day of and the day after the death of a member of Congress. Fake news once again!

        Yes. You are correct for members of Congress who have passed, but Senator McCain was more than that, he was a military man and POW. The WH should show him the honor of his service to our nation til at least his burial. It is shameful, and he calls kneeling unpatriotic.

        If that's the case, then why wouldn't the flag get flown at half mast all the time because of how many heroes and war heroes are killed on a daily basis? Is it because they're not famous and well known like McCain, they don't need to get honored? Or is it just another ploy...

        Yeah sure. We are all fake outraged to bash an otherwise respectable honest patriotic American!🙄 Give me a break. You know why Trump has that flag flying high, it’s disrespect for a man he knows he will never be.

        Someone on another thread posted the WH phone #. I had to hold for a little bit but got a human and demanded the flag be flown at half staff. 202-456-1414 Do it!!

        & while we're at it, we need to call Ryan and McConnell & call them out for not condemning a traitor who insults every one of us, & esp those who have served, when he refuses to honor their colleague for his service. Also Graham, who has betrayed his lifelong friendship w/McCain

        ...until internment... It’s his call, but it’s extremely petty and very poor taste. Basically the norm these days.

        Exactly. It's cringeworthy watching people bend themselves into pretzels trying to defend Trump's childish, petty behavior that would have pissed them off coming from anyone else. I don't understand blindly defending the POTUS when they're wrong, whether you voted for them or not

        I’m from AZ, he’s my senator. I have been plenty mad at him many times going back to the Keating 5 but I still respect his service to this country. Personally I believe it was more good than bad and I’m sad he was taken when he’s showing partisanship. He worked with others.
