VP Pence on McCain: ‘As Pres. Trump Said Yesterday, We Respect His Service to the Country’

‘Americans marveled at the iron will of John McCain’

EXCERPT:

PENCE: "As President Trump said yesterday, we respect his service to the country. Like many of you gathered here, I also had the privilege of traveling with Senator McCain to visit our troops overseas. Earlier this week, I told Cindy of a time on a trip through Iraq, after another 18 hour day, when I was literally falling asleep in the middle of a dinner with Iraqi officials. After the dinner, John, who was more than 20 years older than me, walked up, put his hand on my shoulder and said, ‘Mike, we’ve got a few more meetings tonight, but why don’t you turn in? You look like you could use some rest.’ Thanks, John."
