Meghan McCain knocks Trump at John McCain's memorial service: 'America was always great'
Fox News ^ | September 1,2018 | Adam Shaw

Meghan McCain took a number of swipes at President Trump on Saturday in a eulogy for her father John McCain -- who sparred with Trump on a number of occasions before his death last week of brain cancer.

'The America of John McCain has no need to be made great again because America was always great,' she said, in what appeared to a reference to Trump's presidential campaign slogan: "Make America Great Again."

She also said that her father's passing represented the passing of "American greatness. 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 while he suffered and served."

McCain was being remembered at a memorial service in Washington National Cathedral, attended by former Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush. Trump, a week after the Arizona Republican died at age 81 after a battle with brain cancer.

The McCain’s are the Fredo Corleone’s of politics now.

“NOTHING TO ME.”

Go away already. And take the Carnival Freak Funeral Show with you.

The comments at the funeral are so fitting. Bitter, nasty, hateful, tasteless,
and tawdry cheap shots. Just like the man in the box.

Pathetic. Sad.

I’m pretty agreeing with you. I won’t vote any longer for fake Republicans.

This millennial dipsh*t should keep her trap shut. Every time she speaks she shows her ignorance.

It’s as much a criticism of the left as of Trump; the left are the ones who were saying that America was never great, at least when they’re not saying that America was great before Trump became president.

On the other hand, and mark my words, I believe President Trump is raking up one achievement after another, all positive and beneficial to this Great Country what will be well remembered and recorded in the annals of history.

I agree with you but with one caveat: it depends on who writes the history. The liberties being taken with the truth by the media (especially the online socials) tell me they will suppress the truth at every chance.

I suspect McCain banged cocktail waitresses two at a time, himself.

For how many more weeks is this funeral set to continue?

Imagine what it will be like when Hillary croaks. Or Obama? It will be funeral MONTH.

Wrong! brocko’s admin had just about wrung the last of our former greatness out of the fabric. I give you kagan, sotomayor, holder, lynch, rice, harfffff, hilaree, kerree, 0care, rainbow House, powers, lerner, koskinen, clapper, brennan, comey, stzrok, rosenstein — the whole steaming pile of illegalos, sanctuary cities, catch/release, BLM, occupy thisnthat, don’t get me started! Now I ax ya: is there anything “great” about anything in that list? Well, that list is the personification (minus another list just as long) of the past 8 years before Trump, so yeah, meghan, go do something you’d be good at — like a wet T-shirt contest, toots.

You can bet the bitter old liberal crones on “The View” will give Meghan high fives and tons of respect for trashing Trump at her father’s funeral.
