Did MSNBC or CNN mention that President Trump lended Air Force Two to the McCain family to bring the late Senator John McCain's (R-AZ)  to Washington, D.C.? If they did, please comment below and enlighten me.

In spite of the fact that President Trump was verbally attacked over the course of McCain's five-day funeral and remembrance ceremonies, he still did the family a classy solid.

McCain's remains were flown to Washington, D.C. on the Trump-approved aircraft. "The late Arizona senator's casket was loaded onto one of the jets known as Air Force 2--which is often designated for the VP or First Lady's travel," TMZ reported.

The senator's family was also flown on that plane out of Phoenix Thursday afternoon after McCain lay in state in the Arizona capitol building.

Obviously, Trump didn't have to do this and it was one of his softer, kindlier moments he has displayed to his detractors.

Of course, CNN and MSNBC apparently "went dark" on this instance but Arizona Central reported it: 

"The 89th Airlift Wing, based out of Joint Base Andrews in Maryland, is responsible for the aircraft as well as Air Force One. McCain's body will be flown to the base, according to a representative of the aircraft wing."

Although Trump "manned up" with his offer, tearful Meghan McCain, the senator's daughter, used her eulogy she delivered for her father to rip into the president.

"We gather here to mourn the passing of American greatness--the real thing, not cheap rhetoric from men who will never come near the sacrifice he gave so willingly, nor the opportunistic appropriation of those who lived lives of comfort and privilege while he suffered and served," she said, obviously referencing Trump, and the fact that he got a military deferment that kept him out of the Vietnam War.


With tears in her eyes, her voice rose in anger as she said, "The America of John McCain has no need to be made great again because America was always great."

The audience applauded loudly.

So even when Trump does a good thing he's attacked. What ever happened to Kumbaya?
