McCain Takes Veiled Shots at Trump in Farewell Letter

John McCain, the longtime Republican senator who died Saturday evening, penned a farewell message that seemed to take a few shots at President Donald Trump. “I’ve made mistakes, but I hope my love for America will be weighed favorably against them,” said the letter, which was read by McCain’s campaign director, Rick Davis, on Monday. “I lived and died a proud American... We weaken our greatness when we confuse our patriotism with tribal rivalries that have sown resentment and hatred and violence in all corners of the globe.” “Do not despair of our present difficulties but believe always in the promise and greatness of America, because nothing is inevitable here,” the letter continued. “Americans never quit. We never surrender. We never hide from history. We make history.” A McCain spokesperson also announced that Trump will not be attending the former Arizona congressman’s funeral.
