Sen. John McCain’s return to Washington during key legislative deliberations has been curbed in part by concerns over the deadly flu season, his daughter Meghan said Wednesday.

In an interview with Politico’s “Women Rule” podcast, the Arizona Republican’s daughter said her father, recovering from chemotherapy for aggressive brain cancer and a viral infection in December, is taking precautions that are keeping him in Arizona.

“Part of the problem, too, is like it’s this deadly, crazy flu season,” said Meghan McCain, a co-host of “The View” on ABC. “And his immune system is so down, everybody is worried about him getting the flu.” This flu season could be the worst in a decade, with 12,000 confirmed hospitalizations since the fall, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in a report for the week ending Jan. 20.

McCain added that her father undergoes physical therapy at his cabin outside Sedona, focusing on his mobility following a tear in each Achilles’ tendon.

“Mentally, he’s 100 percent there,” she said. “It’s taken some time to get back to physical fighting form.”

There is “a very high likelihood that he will come back to D.C. at some point,” Meghan McCain said,

Is that why the boot keeps changing from one leg to another?

John knows there is a military tribunal in his future if he doesn’t pull a Ken Lay.

A high likelihood? Yah,I can see that....he'll probably demand the right to pollute the sacred ground of Arlington National Cemetery with his utterly worthless remains.

Come on flu, do your thing.

[caww]

I don’t believe her

[jyo19]

I hope he never returns. He has given up any semblance of being a conservative.

[butlerweave]

Medically Unfit , retire and release the Seat/Vote

[dp0622]

No, he’s given up any semblance of being an American or a Patriot!!!

Since S and L, he is nothing but a thief, a con man, a traitor and a fool. Choose the order.

And add if you wish

[rktman]

I feel safer already.🤔🇺🇸

[Secret Agent Man]

So he still is wearing the tracking bracelet.

Haven’t seen Hillary’s leg either to see if her boot is still on her entire lower leg for the supposed broken toe.

If McCain is not fit to serve, he must resign.

The citizens of Arizona have a right to representation!

[freedomjusticeruleoflaw]

Gee, sad. I’m devastated. (Sarc)

[ProtectOurFreedom]

...everybody is worried about him getting the flu

No, Meghan, not everybody.

“Mentally, he’s 100 percent there,” she said.

There's a first time for everything.

[SoFloFreeper]

Which leg is he wearing his brace on this week?

[G Larry]

Having been through chemo and radiation treatment, I can assure you that he’s NOT “100% there”.

Tired, detached, and certainly not mentally at capacity.

He can’t be bothered with his Senate duties. He’s been busy writing his eulogy, planning his State funeral, and his burial at Arlington, .

[Nifster]

And there’s no flu in Arizona
