Hatch to McCain: Invite Trump to your funeral

Sen. John McCain should reconsider his wish that President Donald Trump not attend McCain's funeral, said Sen. Orrin Hatch, the most senior GOP senator.

McCain prefers instead that Vice President Mike Pence attend his funeral rather than Trump, who has mocked McCain for being tortured and attacked him for voting against Obamacare repeal. But Hatch said he thought keeping the president from his funeral was too much: "I think it's ridiculous."

"Well, he's the president of the United States and he's a very good man. But it's up to [McCain]. I think John should have his own wishes fulfilled with regard to who attends the funeral," said the Utah senator. Asked whether McCain should change his mind about Trump, Hatch said: "I would."

Hatch said he does not expect McCain, who is battling brain cancer, to return to the Senate.

"That's what I've been told,” said Hatch, who is 84 and retiring after this year. “I don't know. I hope he does, I hope he can."

1. Shouldn't this guy be out to pasture someplace?

Disrespectful, dRumpf ass-kissing POS.

[BigmanPigman]

2. It isn't about age, it is about hatred.

Hatch is a hateful person and has been most of his life just like the moron and a lot of the GOP.

3. What a disgraceful POS

this f---er is.

And who on earth thought that with all the sh*t going on in the country this was a worthy question???

[Eliot Rosewater]

4. Rump is a "very good man?" You do know you just ended any possibility your religion

could ever be taken seriously EVER again, right>?

[bdamomma]

22. you wonder

how much blood money he (Hatch) got from tRump/Russians. A real good man?????

[MyOwnPeace]

5. Hey Orrin!

Why would you defend a bone-spur draft dodger's right to attend the funeral of a military POW who served our country and gave up years of his life in a POW prison?
How does stealing an election create credibility for the person or the title of "president" - and the right to attend a sacred ceremony of someone who does not respect that person?
Oh, and by the way, regarding IQ45 - he IS NOT a "very good man!"

[treestar]

6. How deplorable

He could have kept his mouth shut. This statement was so unnecessary.

[marble falls]

7. Really Orin, you take that Mormon patriarch shit too serious. Step back, it ain't your business.

[Generic Other]

8. Hatch can invite Trump to his own funeral

It's a free country, right?

[3catwoman3]

9. Or vice versa, and the...

..sooner the better.

[Ilsa]

14. Today, i wish it was soon. nt

[FakeNoose]

19. If we're lucky, they can have a double funeral

.... real soon!

[Generic Other]

21. Add some other high profile idiot

and we can get a trifecta.

[Glorfindel]

10. "I think it's ridiculous." No, Orin, you're ridiculous.

Also pathetic, but that's a discussion for another time.

[Freethinker65]

11. Hey Orrin. If you are lucky Trump will invite some hookers to your funeral to shower you

While he gives a eulogy memorializing himself

[Liberalagogo]

12. Orrin...

I wouldn't even invite you in your own funeral.

GFY and ES&D

[Marie Marie]

13. I'm glad that McCain took this stand but let's face it.

Even if he had not be "univited", Trump would have not gone. Seriously, does anybody think that Trump would have attended?

[FakeNoose]

20. He'll send Melania, and he'll go play golf

Cheeto only goes to things where he's the star attraction. A funeral for a political rival would be a real drag for him.

[bdamomma]

23. I would not invite him

after he slandered Senator McCain for calling him a loser for getting captured, this from 5 time deferment POS.

No Trump would not go probably have Melania go for him. Coward.

[struggle4progress]

15. I guess we could also talk about the plans for Mr Hatch's funeral, if that's the current level

of political discourse in the US. Has the date and venue been announced yet? Who does Mr Hatch want to come sing songs and speak speeches over the decomposing wreckage of his own mortal frame? And whose approval of the guest list is required?

[trof]

16. I'm just guessing here, but...

Does GFY stand for Go Fuck Yourself?
If so, I'm very proud that I figured that out with no help.
And yes, Hatch richly deserves it.

[Miles Archer]

17. Yes. Be proud.

[trof]

18. I really like it when I can do that.

Figure out stuff on my own without googling it.
