Westchester County flags will fly at half-staff at my direction out of respect for Senator John McCain. In moments like this, we are all Americans, and we share a common humanity. That humanity grieves for the loss of this true patriot.

Look around your every day life. Tell me what is the greater threat to you: the “far left protestors in the streets burning or looting”? Or a small protein virus that has killed 200,000 people, 1,450 in your home County? Which one do you focus your on? Which is the real threat?
