Three former US presidents, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama, yesterday went to the National Cathedral to bid farewell to Senator John McCain, with Bush and Obama delivering eulogies at the late senator's request. Reporters captured former President Bush giving candy to former US First Lady Michelle Obama while listening to the speech, according toMSNBC.
In the video, former President Bush takes a small package from his wife, then places it in Michelle Obama's hand. The former first lady accepts the candy and whispers a thank you.
This is considered a rare moment between a former Republican president and a former Democratic first lady. However, Bush admitted that he had a very good relationship with Michelle Obama. "She seems to like my sense of humor. I love anyone who likes my sense of humor," former President Bush said in 2017.
Former President Bush was asked by McCain to deliver the eulogy in January. At the funeral, he praised the late senator as a "man of principle" who "lived by a public ethic that gave strength and purpose to his life and to the country."
The funeral of Senator John McCain will be held at the National Cathedral in Washington, DC, at 10am on September 1 (9pm Vietnam time). This is the last memorial service before McCain is buried. Previously, a memorial service was held in his home state of Arizona with the participation of officials and people.
