John McCain passed today. It wasnโ€™t like we all didnโ€™t know it was coming. Still, itโ€™s sad. And to @cindymccain @MeghanMcCain I wish my heartfelt condolences. May you find peace and comfort in the coming days.

But now a little rant/reminder... (1/?)
People are getting SUPER nasty about the passing of this man. Saying HORRIBLE things TO HIS FAMILY.

Yes. He was a politician. And if you liked what he did, you say good things. And if you didnโ€™t like what he did, there is a RESPECTFUL way to express that (2/?)
Iโ€™m seeing a lot of โ€œI didnโ€™t agree with him politically but..โ€. Itโ€™s good to see.

The thing is, above being a politician, above being a POW in Vietnam, above being a Presidential Candidatw, above being a Republican, he was a man...a husband...a father. And now he is gone.(3/?)

What changed? We all know the answer. A black man became President and the Tea Party played on the fears of racist and uneducated voters to hijack the party. 3/

BREAKING:
John @SenJohnMcCain passed away.
Like his politics or not, keep it to yourself. The guy served the country honorably, was captured, had a wife, kids and grandchildren. Spare me the twitter warrioring bullshit and show some humility. #ripjohnmccain
