The senator, who died on Aug. 25, was a big fan of the Cardinals and even had wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald speak at that service, according to The Hill.
“[John McCain] didn’t judge individuals based on the color of their skin, their gender, their backgrounds, their political affiliations or their bank accounts,” Fitzgerald said. “He evaluated them on the merits of their character & the countenance of their hearts.”
