NBC: W.H. flag back to full-staff after McCain's death, Capitol flag remains lowered (1 hour ago)

1 hour ago ..... I wonder how long will Trump keep up this asshole act? He has to be feeling
the heat. What a vile petty little man.

As the nation continued to mourn the death of Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain, the
White House returned its flag to full-staff, although it has been kept lowered by past presidents
for longer following the deaths of other sitting senators, and the Capitol flag remained at half staff.

Update
And as of noon E.D.S.T. the flag is still @ full staff.

Hopefully, whatever he dishes out, will come back to him in spades.

If Berry Goldwater was still around he would go to the W.H. and lower it in person.
