Kelly Ayotte: I Hope McCain’s ‘Passing Is a Calling for More Decency, Integrity and Honor in Our Politics’

RUSH EXCERPT: 

AYOTTE: "It’s ain’t credible friend and for me, Jake, not only was he a dear friend but he was a mentor. He took me under his wing on the Senate and on the armed services committee. First of all, hanging out with John McCain, he has the most wonderful sense of humor. He is always cracking jokes. Obviously he’s tough as nails, incredibly bright, so strong and courageous, but to his friends we loved his sense of humor, his optimism. You know, and he was always getting ready for the next fight because he was fighting for people who couldn’t fight for themselves. I mean, traveling around the world with him he always stood — anytime there was a member of our military serving somewhere, he would go visit and anyone who was oppressed around the world, as you know, just a champion for human rights and for people around the world."
