Cindy McCain said that the focus should be on policy and what her husband and his office is working on, including the defense spending bill and a bill to combat human trafficking.
\"We have much bigger things to worry about right now than to worry about what the president says,\" Cindy McCain said.
\"More importantly, for my own feeling, we need more compassion. We need more empathy. We need more togetherness... we don't need more bullying and I'm tired of it,\" Cindy McCain said.

Cindy McCain also gave an update on her husband's health treatments.
\"He's doing okay — you know, chemo and radiation is a very tough customer — it does so much good, but it also does a lot of damage,\" she said.
\"He's tough as a boot, he's at our ranch and he's watching today,\" Cindy McCain said.
Sen. McCain was diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer, glioblastoma multiforme, in the summer of 2017 and has been receiving treatments since.
John McCain tweeted about his wife's appearance after the show wrapped, sharing a clip of Cindy's call for \"more compassion.\"
