Meghan McCain rips Trump at father’s memorial service
NY Post ^ | September 1, 2018 | Mary Kay Linge

Posted on 09/01/2018 10:57:27 AM PDT by conservative98

Meghan McCain tore into an absent President Trump at a memorial service for her father, Arizona Sen. John McCain, in Washington on Saturday.

“We gather here to mourn the passing of American greatness,” McCain, a co-host of “The View,” said at the National Cathedral. “The real thing, not cheap rhetoric from men who will never come near the sacrifice he gave so willingly, nor the opportunistic appropriation of those who lived lives of comfort and privilege.”

“He was a great fire who burned bright,” she said in a speech punctuated by sobbing. “A few have resented that fire… but my father never cared what they thought.

“The America of John McCain does not need to be made great again, because America was always great.”

"...nor the opportunistic appropriation of those who lived lives of comfort and privilege.”

Yeah, McCain the dirt poor son of a share cropper...

And his 2nd wife, the daughter of a coal miner. But at least Meghan has managed to get some sustenance along the way despite her desperate upbringing.

America is great but as this funeral indicates far from perfect.

From Her Fatness - bombast, insult and cheap shots.

She did exactly the same things she’s accused President Trump of.

Cause God knows, we just can’t stop saying bad things about our President at an event to honor the dead.

All of that said a lot more about Meghan than it did about Trump.

I will now from this point forward refer to no name’s daughter as Pudgeball McCain.

I will do the same. It would be funny if it caught on.

Petty, vile, vindictive, classless, and bitter. Like Father. Like Daughter.

Don’t know how the McCains have survived all these years living on that kind of meager funds.

“He was a great fire who burned bright,”

Ya, it was called the USS Forestal, CVA 59.

I read somewhere this Trump bashing gathering lasted 3 hours!!! Can you imagine going to a 3 hour funeral? This is more like a Democratic Convention type gathering with a dead body of a narcissist trying to prop himself up as high as he can from the grave.

I think it would be fun if someone stole the body and it turned up all around America in many fun, comical, positions. For instance fully dressed out in Trump gear and for his crown a bright red, MAGA hat!! :D I'd love to see President Trump tweet that picture. ;D

And much to McCain’s dismay that $300 million still wouldn’t buy him the presidency because no one likes him really. He like this old guy that no one liked in high school and he spends the rest of his life trying to be popular to ill effect. So he sells himself out constantly to what he perceives as the ‘cool’ people in adult life because he is really just a loser.

Hillary Clinton and John McCain were unelectable because they were two of the most unlikeable people in America.

I guess the mantle of MeAgain McCain (Ole’ Johnny-boy) has been handed down to her heftiness.

She’s both mentally and physically waddling through life.

For someone who never cared, McCain seems to have really gone all out to try and stick it to the President.

McCain cared a great deal to trash President Trump.

For someone as small as him, his notoriety was a reflection of basking in another man’s greatness.

That is why death didn’t add a thing to his image.

A truly incredible man is made and not born.
