The news of American Senator John McCain’s brain cancer diagnosis was immediately met with shock and grief Wednesday night, with many taking to social media to express support for the Arizona Republican.
President Trump, former presidents Barack Obama, Bill Clinton and George H.W. Bush, and the entire American political class put aside partisan bickering to rally behind McCain who announced he was diagnosed with a brain tumor.
Obama, who ran against McCain in the 2008 presidential election, called him “an American hero & one off the bravest fighters I’ve ever known.” In a Twitter message, Obama added: “Cancer doesn’t know what it’s up against. Give it hell, John.”
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.
