First Lady Melania Trump had surgery on Monday for a benign kidney problem that will keep her hospitalized for several days. Also on Monday, retired Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) had surgery to treat pancreatic cancer.

Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), who has been at the center of a Beltway controversy over an insensitive comment about his ill health made in a private meeting by a White House staffer that was leaked to the press, posted his ‘prayers and best wishes’ to only one of the two:
“From one cantankerous senator to another, sending my prayers & best wishes to @SenatorReid as he recovers from a successful surgery”

McCain did not send get well wishes to the First Lady. McCain’s snub comes after it was reported he does not want President Donald Trump to attend his funeral, but has invited former Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush to attend.
When McCain was diagnosed with brain cancer last summer, President Trump sent get well wishes to McCain on behalf of himself and Melania, “Melania and I send our thoughts and prayers to Senator McCain, Cindy, and their entire family. Get well soon.”

A statement released by the White House earlier on July 19, 2017 read, “Senator John McCain has always been a fighter. Melania and I send our thoughts and prayers to Senator McCain, Cindy, and their entire family. Get well soon.”
McCain’s daughter Meghan McCain has also been silent on Melania Trump but she retweeted her father’s best wishes for Reid.
