McCain's son-in-law: 'John hugged me tonight. He asked me to take care of Meghan.'

[RandySF]

John McCain's son-in-law, conservative pundit Ben Domenech, tweeted Saturday night that the senator, who is battling a deadly form of brain cancer, asked him to take care of his daughter, Meghan.

McCain, a six-term Arizona Republican, was released from the hospital last week. He had been in stable condition at the Mayo Clinic, according to his family and Senate office, following surgery for an intestinal infection related to diverticulitis.

McCain, 81, has been recovering at his family's retreat near Sedona, a tweet from his wife, Cindy, suggests.

Ben Domenech's tweet was posted at 8:16 p.m. Arizona time. It is unclear what prompted the message. He subsequently deleted the tweet sometime before 10 p.m.

7. Domenech is a plagiarist and liar and stain on American public debate

Domenech's writing is actively hurting people in the United States, contributing to homophobia and the abuses of immigration enforcement as well as supporting the corrupt and racist president to the hilt.

Launched in September 2013 as a "web magazine on politics, policy, and culture," The Federalist is helmed by publisher Ben Domenech, a co-founder of the right-wing blog RedState.com and senior fellow at the Heartland Institute, a conservative think tank known for its opposition to climate science and funding from industry sources like the Koch brothers. Co-founder Sean Davis came to conservative journalism after a career in GOP politics, having worked for Gov. Rick Perry (R-TX) and Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK). Senior editors David Harsanyi and Mollie Hemingway and senior writer Robert Tracinski round out The Federalist's leadership.

In its short existence, The Federalist has won plaudits from conservative organizations and activists, not least those best known for their anti-LGBT advocacy. A look at the website's track record on LGBT issues leaves little doubt as to why The Federalist counts some of the most notorious anti-LGBT groups among its most ardent fans.

Touted by Domenech as a publication "that rejects the assumptions of the media establishment," The Federalist regularly frames its opposition to LGBT equality as brave defiance of elite conventions. This posture leads The Federalist to inveigh against even the most basic protections for LGBT people.

Also, the Federalist is funded by secret donors, so we don't know who is behind them.

All that said, I have sympathy for anyone whose father-in-law is in this position. This must be a tough time for their family right now. The cancer McCain has is effectively a death sentence. Almost no one survives. If McCain has been released from the hospital after surgery, there is a decent chance he is now in hospice. Prayers for John McCain's health and the McCain family.

9. Cindy McCain posted the other day that he's back home at their ranch near Sedona

With her fortune, it's most likely that he'll continue receive care at home until his passing.
