Former President Barack Obama paid tribute to his 2008 presidential election opponent on Twitter late Wednesday after it was announced that Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., had been diagnosed with brain cancer.
“John McCain is an American hero & one of the bravest fighters I’ve ever known. Cancer doesn’t know what it’s up against. Give it hell, John,” the 44th president tweeted.
