Hillary Clinton also sharply rebuked Trump for his 'shameful' comments

Trump clarified: 'I have great respect for all those who serve in our military including those that weren't captured and are also heroes'

Outraged: Trump's remarks were condemned by GOP leaders — and McCain's daughter, Meghan

The daughter of Senator John McCain has angrily responded to Donald Trump's comments that her father was only a 'war hero' because he was captured.

'I can't believe what I am reading this morning. Horrified. Disgusted. There are no words,' the 30-year-old author and blogger Meghan McCain tweeted hours after the presidential candidate made the remarks...

And if you want arrogance, has there been a better display of it outside of the President than McCain?

I always liked the 1987 model Tawney Kitaen type. Meg’s personality would negate her from consideration regardless of what body it occupied.

Yep, that’s my reaction to Ms. McCain every time she opens her mouth.

She wouldn’t care, Chris Rock is “PC”.

I dated several 35-40 year old versions of her. Eerily so, actually.

Meghan McCain to Join Fox News Channel as Contributor (Exclusive)”

Must be nice to be part of the legacy gravy train. Gee I wonder if this opportunity would be available to her if she were not the daughter of a senator?

Personally, I am disgusted and unimpressed with Celebrity Worship that goes on in this country.

I would like to see an all out assault on “Celebrity.” I would like to see these folks dis-empowered. Just because you are singer, dancer, actor, politician, or related to one, does not automatically make you smarter, wiser or more informed then anyone else.

A certain dog faced young Clinton immediately comes to mind...

Every bar in America has a chain-smoking bimbo that looks just like this.

Disgusted with celeb worship in the country?

Check out the average FR Trump threads. You’ll be disgusted alright. Nothing -but- worship of a liberal celeb. Because it sure as hell isn’t based on his conservative record.

"I was just thinking that, based on this photo anyway, she looks like an aging, 50-ish rocker. So many 50-ish women look a million times better and way younger than she does."

And remember, this photo is after the world's finest makeup artists and cameramen have done the best makeover money can buy.

Meggie Mac:

No one wants to hear your inane blathering. Your daddy got well and righteously beat up. And many, many people are on Mr. Trump’s side than his... Deal with it!

NOT BACKING DOWN: DONALD TRUMP’S STATEMENT IN FULL

During my entire business career, I have always made supporting Veterans a top priority because our heroes deserve the very best for defending our freedom.

My record of Veteran support is well-documented. I served as co-chairman of the New York Vietnam Veterans Memorial Commission and was responsible, with a small group, for getting it built.

Toward this end, I contributed over $1 million so our warriors can be honored in New York City with a proper memorial.

I have always made sure our Veterans are treated with the respect they deserve. In 1995, the fiftieth anniversary of World War II, only 100 spectators watched New York City’s Veteran’s Day Parade. It was an insult to all veterans. I was approached by Mayor Rudy Giuliani and the chief of New York City’s FBI office.

They asked me to lead as Grand Marshall for a second parade later that year. It was an honor. I immediately made a $1 million dollar matching donation to finance the Nation’s Day Parade. It was a tremendous success.

On Saturday, November 11th, over 1.4 million individuals watched as 25,000 veterans, some dressed in their vintage uniforms, marched down Fifth Avenue.

It was one of the biggest parades in the history of New York City and I was very proud to have made it possible.

One reason, among the many, that we need new leadership is that the politicians have failed our Veterans. Our VA hospitals are outdated dumps.

The current medical assistance to our Veterans is a disaster. If I am elected President, I will build the finest and most modern Veterans hospitals in the world.

A Trump administration will provide premium universal access healthcare for our Veterans. They will be able to get the best care anytime and anywhere.

The ongoing scandal of the horrible things happening to our Veterans is a total disgrace. Thousands of lives have been taken by the incompetence and corruption going on in Veterans hospitals.

Likewise, Veterans are living in misery and are treated as third class citizens.

Two weeks ago, I pointed out the problem of illegal immigrants crossing our border and causing tremendous amounts of crime.

Now, I have been able to focus the energies of our country on the horrible treatment that our Veterans are receiving.

We must solve their difficulties -— and solve them now. Politicians like John McCain have totally failed.

Last week in Phoenix, I held a record breaking rally with thousands of people. They are devastated by what is happening with illegal immigration.

This group was totally united -— the silent majority became alive.

These were fabulous people and great Americans but John McCain called them ‘crazies.’ Everyone was very insulted by his disgusting and unfair characterization.

A nation without borders is not a nation at all but John McCain has not been able to figure that out.

Our leaders have failed to honor our country’s sacred duty to care for our veterans.

This has to stop but it will not stop if we continue to depend on politicians who are controlled by the donors, lobbyists and special interests. Politicians are all talk and no action.

I will continue to fight to secure our border and take care of our Veterans. I will never apologize or back down because these steps are vital to Make America Great Again!

That’s scary, lol!

I have a sister who’s about Meghan’s age. My sister has been on many, many “FOX and Friends” segments. When they glam her up for her segments, she still looks like a nice, young lady. Too bad she doesn’t want to do political commentary :)
