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

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.”

While trump wasn’t there clearly he is the 2nd most spoken about person next to the other person who wasn’t there either... John McCain.

The reason mcain had Ob and Bush speak is he wanted to go out ‘looking like’ he was actually equal to the Presidents instead of being the ‘twice over loser’ he was when he tried to run for that office.

He was and never would be the ‘great man’ he and his family want the world to see.....he was a loser hiding behind a fictional character he never was.

How nice to see the Cheney/Clinton family having a sing along moment for no name.

Dear Lord, what possible benefit to America would there be for politicians to troll Trump during a nationally televised funeral? 🇺🇸 11:13 AM - 1 Sep 2018

Hey Rooroo,

Ann Coulter said this show will go on for four weeks.

I am beginning to think she wasn’t joking.

Quite the talent you have there fireman15 for attaching a label to a person that will stick. You are almost as good as our great President. His labels are now legend.

Anyway thanks for that one. I will now from this point forward refer to no name’s daughter as Pudgeball McCain.

I salute you!

I understand the grief that comes from losing an earthly father all too well, but his funeral is no place for such a classes display. Could it not have waited?

Don’t miss the chance to emphasize your father to be a vindictive petty man. May John McCain rest in peace.

He was a crabby old a**hole that few people liked. His funeral was by invitation only because they didn’t want the embarassment of extremely low attendance.

I’ve had it up to here with liberalism and socialism. I’ve had up to here with McCain and the whore media. Now it’s his family’s turn to carry on the his legacy of vengeance and hate. Where will it stop? Is there no end to how low they will stoop to assassinate the character of anyone who disagrees with them?

Praise him if they must, but just bury him and leave the politics behind for history to sort out. What his funeral really needs is a disclaimer like “This is a Paid Political Announcement”.

The Democratic Party has been hi-jacked by a bunch of communists, leftists, and special interests groups. Even the stupid f*cks out there in B*umf*ck USA are beginning to notice something strange is happening in American politics. This is not going to play well in Peoria when they get the full message.

It is a rerun of “the Wellstone Memorial.” How well did that pan out for the leftists?

Whoever heard of an invitation-only funeral?

Reagan's funeral was invitation only. Had it not been then they would have had to hold it in a football stadium. But Reagan didn't use his funeral to take political shots at anyone.
