It's cause he said a couple things about Trump and like in this pod, McCain had a way with a lot of these reporters where they didn't challenge him much..

I made several mistakes in my campaign. I regret them, but I can live with their consequences because I believe them to have been simple errors in judgment and not an unprincipled act. Only once, I believe, did I act in an unprincipled way. But once is enough, and I want to tell the people of South Carolina and all Americans that I sincerely regret breaking my promise to always tell you the truth. . . .

My ancestors fought for the Confederacy, and I am sure that many, maybe all of them, fought with courage and with faith that they were serving a cause greater than themselves. But I don't believe their service, however distinguished, needs to be commemorated in a way that offends, that deeply hurts, people whose ancestors were once denied their freedom by my ancestors.

Those ancestors of mine might have fought honorably, they might have fought to uphold a principle they believed was just. But they fought to sever the union of our great nation, a cause that would have terribly harmed America, perhaps irreparably, and, for a time at least, perpetuated the grave injustice of slavery. They fought on the wrong side of American history. That, my friends, is how I personally feel about the Confederate battle flag. That is the honest answer I never gave to a fair question. . . .'

As I admitted, I should have done this earlier, when an honest answer could have affected me personally. I did not do so for one reason alone. I feared that if I answered honestly, I could not win the South Carolina primary. So, I chose to compromise my principles. I broke my promise to always tell the truth. . . .

I do not intend for this apology to help me evade criticism for my failure. I will be criticized by all sides for my late act of contrition. I accept it, all of it. I deserve it. Honesty is easy after the fact, when my own interests are no longer involved. I don't seek absolution. Like anyone else, I can only try to resist future temptations to abandon principle for expediency, and hope that in the end, my character is judged from the totality of my life, and not by its flaws alone.

I can name maybe 2 GOP senators in 2018 that would say this in today's environment, let alone back in 2000.
I aint gunna say the man was a saint, but I wont call him a devil either. RIP.

fukk John McCain. He supported the Reagan Revolution of the 80s,the Republican revolution of the 90s, supported Bush era neoconservative in the 2000s, and started the seed for the rise of the Tea Party by making Palin his running mate,that led to the Tea party wingnuts which led to the rise of trump. fukk him and the republican party they still the enemy.
