Meghan McCain posted a very touching tribute to her father on the news that he was diagnosed with a cancerous brain tumor.

Here it is:
Wow.
Let’s put politics aside, pretend to be human for a few minutes, and hope and pray McCain beats this disease.
UPDATE:
President Trump released a decent statement:
JUST IN: Pres. Trump issues statement on McCain's diagnosis: "Senator John McCain has always been a fighter." https://t.co/JpPMLvlRdP pic.twitter.com/CtALQUO2fb

And so did former President Barack Obama:
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.

Very classy of both of them, when McCain was their political opponent at different times of his career.
