The Best Stories About John McCain

The tributes to John McCain continued to mount on Sunday, honoring the legacy of the Vietnam war hero, Arizona senator and one-time GOP presidential nominee who died on Saturday from cancer at the age of 81.

“I don’t think we’ll ever see anyone like John McCain, I think he was one of a kind,” Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) said Sunday of his home state colleague on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
