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."
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."

Did McCain invite his Al Qaeda linked friends to attend his funeral?
Hope McCain is suffering, a lot.
If McCain is being buried in Arlington, Trump as President should be there to pay respects and say something nice about the Senator’s service to the nation.

No, he shouldn’t! McCain is disgusting anti-American ASSHOLE and deserves to have his grave pissed on, not honored.
I know! Stupid of McCain for even mentioning it. Totally classless but...consider the source.
I want to know who’s bringing the popcorn.
How about somewhere in the Ocean, next to the alleged "burial" place of Osama bin Laden?
Yes. I’ve been to funerals where people who were not wanted showed up. Everyone just ignored them. You can’t really stop them. Like you said, it’s not invitation only.
But McCain may do that. Since he knows he’s dieing maybe he’ll do engraved invitations. Lol
Thank you for mentioning this. I am getting REALLY tired of the news reports saying that Trump mocked mc cain for being tortured! He did NOT!
Hatch to McCain: Invite Trump to your funeral
Trump to Hatch: Mind your own damn business
McCain left DC in December and will not be returning alive.
If I was Trump I’d go and hope for an open casket so I could fart on his putrid old face.
I despise most of those people -- and McCain is close to the top of my sh!t-list.
Can I go? Can I go! I wanna go!

I’ll go later. Visit his grave. A pour out a bottle over his grave. After, of course, I filter it though my kidneys.
Part of me is happy the he will be trapped in a small box for eternity. Not a cage but will work.
Merely an advance.
I remember how the press bad mouthed Ford in office, then sweet talked after he died.
It proves what I've always thought...when it comes to libs, the only good repub is a dead repub.
Who cares.
I personally think Trump is happier not going.
Am I the only one who thinks that Hatch’s statement is bizarre?
What business is it of his what arrangements Sen McCain makes? Also - I do not believe that Presidents have gone to funerals of every deceased member of the Senate. McCain must think he’s really special.
McCain’s request only shows that he is choosing to die as he lived - as a Pr*ck. OK. That’s his God-given right. Why does anyone even care by commenting on it?
