Senator John McCain also known as the ‘maverick of the senate’ died at 81. He was diagnosed with advanced brain cancer about a year ago, but recently discontinued treatment. His accolades range from war hero to presidential nominee, but those who knew him say he was a committed and principled senator. Rev. AL Sharpton, Hugh Hewitt, Michael Beschloss and Don Calloway remember the Senator McCain’s contribution to the American story.Aug. 26, 2018
