The New York Post mocked Meghan McCain as “The Meg” on its Sunday cover after she used the opportunity of her father’s funeral to attack President Trump. “The Meg” is a reference to a plus-sized shark in the late-summer hit movie The Meg, starring Jason Staham.
The New York Post cover is just one part of a brewing backlash against McCain and the overall funeral service for Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), which turned into an unseemly partisan rally Saturday with speakers like former Presidents Barack Obama and even George W. Bush trashing President Trump, who Sen. McCain refused to invite to his own funeral.
Also not invited was former Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin, John McCain’s unfailingly loyal 2008 vice presidential running mate.
What made Saturday’s shocking display all the more crass was that Trump’s daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared were invited to the funeral and were forced to sit there and be humiliated, which might have been the plan. The McCain’s are infamous for holding petty grudges.
In an obvious shot at Trump, Meghan McCain used her eulogy to describe the death of her father as 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.”
For good measure, she added, “The America of John McCain has no need to be made great again because America was always great.”
Obama was also not subtle. He ripped into those who traffic in “bombast and insult and phony controversies and manufactured outrage.”

I know I do. Gosh, she's gotten up like Cruella de Ville.
It is only a loss of you care what swamp morons say.
Perhaps that was the intentions? How very ‘small’ to use the death of ones father and husband as a means of vengeance.

She would be quite pretty if she lost a horse’s worth of fat.
No...it was the right thing to do, which isn’t always ‘comfortable’...... I give them credit just as I do Trumps chief of staff and Trumps High Commander of our armed forces for escorting Cindy and megan to the Church service. Also the right thing to do.
We’re told to act with class and never the other side. The other side that would kill us and our families if they had a chance!
Not so simple in Washington, D.C.
I think them being there further emphasized the total classlessness of the McCain clan. Much the way Melania attending B. Bush’s funeral made the Bushes look small and petty.
She's obsessed with Trump because she's in love with him.
Well while I think separation would be a good thing, I do hope the divorce is amicable. No need for “war” just good negotiating. :-) And our side has a negotiator par excellence and bound to get us a good deal.
I agree.
If they were stupid enough to accept the invitation from a lynch mob, they don't get any sympathy from me.
Common sense isn't a vice.
. . . classless in its headline and any of we Freepers who chime in . . .
“any of we” should have been “any of us” . . .
Meg!

>>Hard to believe Meghan is so chummy with Obama after he publicly humiliated McCain at every opportunity following the 2008 election...
Why? Do you still believe in the old Two-party, R vs D paradigm?
McLame’s only job in 2008 was to lose gracefully so the Congressional Republicans could submissively allow the “historic first black President” to turn America socialist so their globalist backers could reap the rewards of having a government-subsidized work force in a stable nation of workers who are universally educated to industrial standards.
To add to his disgrace, he chose Palin because he believed the Leftist lie that Conservatives would NEVER, EVER back a woman who could sit in the Oval Office some day.We proved them wrong and he hated her for it. Then, he hated us for it. Then, he hated Trump because we supported another anti-establishment, anti-UniParty candidate.
