Yesterday we reported that conspiracy theorists were speculating that Sen. John McCain underwent brain surgery – and they weren’t too far off the truth for once.
McCain’s declining health had already caused the Senate to postpone their vote on their version of the ObamaCare repeal, and now there’s even worse news: The Senator has a brain tumor. His office released the following statement last night:
He quickly got an outpouring of support from all across the political spectrum.
John McCain is an American hero & one of the bravest fighters I've ever known. Cancer doesn't know what it's up against. Give it hell, John.

As he’s shown his entire life, don’t bet against John McCain. Best wishes to him for a swift recovery.

John McCain is as tough as they come. Thinking of John, Cindy, their wonderful children, & their whole family tonight.

John and I have been friends for 40 years. He's gotten through so much difficulty with so much grace. He is strong – and he will beat this.

Heidi and I are lifting up @SenJohnMcCain in prayer. He's an American hero who fought, bled, and suffered for our Nation. A true patriot.

Pro tip: If your take on John McCain is anything besides "I hope an American hero makes a quick and full recovery" you should never tweet

John McCain's mom, Roberta, is still going at 105. She was born 2 months before Titanic sank. Glad he's got a great family surrounding him. pic.twitter.com/2YgYFxR4l1

These thoughtful comments and prayers were heartening to see. Even in a divisive political climate, it’s always great when people can come together over what matters, namely a person’s health.
Unfortunately, some liberals aren’t so supportive of the senator and former prisoner of war.
Even before the tumor diagnosis, one liberal writer actually wished McCain would “just die already.” And an RNC member from Nevada actually responded with “amen” to that sick notion!

Liberals on Twitter had some nasty wishes for the suffering senator:
it's very sad McCain will likely die peacefully instead of facing justice

torn between wanting McCain to die slow so he can feel pain and wanting him to die fast to spare the taxpayers from footing his treatment

McCain: actively pushing for thousands of people to die preventable deaths
Me: shrugs at his misfortune
Geniuses: You're worse than him!

Unlike loathsome liberals, we are praying for John McCain.
