White House Re-Lowers Flag for McCain

“The White House on Monday afternoon re-lowered its flags to half staff after drawing significant backlash for returning them to full staff less than 48 hours after the death of Sen. John McCain (R-AZ),” The Hill reports.

“The flag outside the U.S. Capitol remained at half staff throughout Monday. Flags typically remain lowered through the burial of a sitting lawmaker or major public figure.”

The Washington Post notes President Trump also finally released a statement saying he respects McCain’s “service to our country.”
