The Washington National Cathedral disputed President Trump's claim that he had to "approve" the funeral of the late Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.).

"Washington National Cathedral was honored to host the funeral service for Senator John McCain. All funerals and memorial services at the Cathedral are organized by the family of the deceased; only a state funeral for a former president involves consultation with government officials," a cathedral spokesperson said in a statement to The Hill on Thursday.

"No funeral at the Cathedral requires the approval of the president or any other government official," he added.

President Trump said on Wednesday in Ohio that he gave McCain "the kind of funeral that he wanted."

3. This is unfair to Trump. His help was essential to give McCain"the kind of funeral that he wanted."

Trump agreed not to attend it.

9. Remembering when he stomped in with Melanomia, he handed his coat to the Marine

who showed them to their seats. Then he sat on his fat ass and pouted throughout the service.

Oh, wait. That was the service for George H. W. Bush.

He probably was steamed that the dead George H. W. Bush was getting all the attention.

Thanks for the reminder that the McCains requested he stay the hell away from Senator McCain's service.

It really is a fascinating behavior once you get past the horror. Well... you don't really get past the horror, honestly.
