WASHINGTON (AP) — The Latest on Sen. John McCain as he recovers from surgery (all times local):

6:15 p.m.

Sen. John McCain’s best pal in the Senate says he’s “sounding strong” after surgery to remove a blood clot above his eye.

Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina tells reporters that he has spoken to McCain, who is recuperating at his home in Arizona.

Graham says “it looks like everything is going to be A-OK.” He says McCain needs to wait a week before returning to Washington because doctors won’t allow him to board an airplane.

Graham says McCain “wants to come back so bad he can’t stand it,” and adds, “I think he would walk back if they would let him.”

Graham says he hopes McCain returns in a week for the sake of his family as he will drive them crazy.

5:30 p.m.

The Republican National Committee is condemning a member who shared a social media post encouraging Arizona Sen. John McCain to “just die already.”

The message came Monday from Republican national committeewoman Diana Orrock of Nevada. Orrock tweeted, “Amen,” in response to another Twitter user who had written, “Please Just (expletive) Die Already” above the hashtag “JohnMcCain”.

McCain, 80, is recuperating from surgery to remove a blood clot.

Republican National Committee spokesman Ryan Mahoney called Orrock’s tweet “extremely inappropriate.” He called McCain a war hero who made countless sacrifices on behalf of all Americans.

Mahoney wished the GOP’s 2008 presidential nominee a “speedy recovery.”

Orrock deleted the tweet after it attracted media coverage. She did not respond to a voicemail or a text message seeking comment.

Lindsey Graham is a feckless, double dealing, backstabbing, treacherous,duplicitous, corksucker.

We’ve all known for a long time that Juan McCain needed to have his head examined.
