Washington (CNN) Hillary Clinton called Sen. John McCain a "warrior-patriot" in an interview that aired Sunday on CNN, saying she saw in the Republican senator from Arizona "a patriot regardless of party." And I saw his passion and his love, his love of his family, his love of our country, his love of the friends that he has made over the years, and he was a patriot regardless of party," Clinton said. "He is a patriot, and I am honored that he is also my friend." He had spent his final months in his home state of Arizona and out of public life. In the 2008 speech, McCain urged his supporters to join him in working with then-President-elect to bridge differences in a spirit of goodwill.
