Meghan McCain hit back at President Trump early Friday morning after he criticized her father, the late Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), in a tweet.
"Two years after he died, you still obsess over my dad. It kills you that no one will ever love you or remember you like they loved and remember him. He served his country with honor, you have disgraced the office of the presidency," she tweeted, responding to Trump advising people to "check out last in his class John McCain, one of the most overrated people in D.C." in an earlier tweet.
"You couldn't even pull it out in Arizona," Meghan McCain added, referring to President-elect Joe Biden winning the state Trump had secured in 2016.
Meghan McCain has frequently spoken out against Trump, especially in response to his repeated criticisms of her father, who died from brain cancer in 2018.
Trump notably mocked the former GOP presidential nominee on the campaign trail in 2015, saying people think the Arizona lawmaker “was a war hero because he was captured” and that “I like people who weren’t captured.”
The late senator spent 5 1/2 years as a prisoner of war while serving in the Navy during the Vietnam War.
Trump has repeatedly come under fire for mocking John McCain since, including after his death.
Both Meghan McCain and Cindy McCain, the late senator's wife, celebrated Biden's win in the 2020 presidential race. Cindy McCain helped campaign for Biden earlier this year.
Don’t forget his childish temper tantrum in the 2000 primary when he didn’t win, reminded me of my daughter when she was about 3 years old.
I hate to break it to you Me-Again McStain, but your father was a traitor and also a dirtbag.
Is that that fat assed, communist lover Kissinger give the eulogy?
‘You have disgraced the office of the presidency’
In true liberal fashion, you’ve got it backwards. Your father was the disgrace. We all know what he wrought.
She is deluded if she thinks her father is remembered fondly. I once spoke with a Marine who worked for a time in Congress. He mentioned he had met McCain a number of times. I met him once. The officer asked me my impression of McCain. I replied he came across as an arrogant prick. The officer smiled and said he would not disagree with me. I fondly remember McCain’s funeral.
Bump
If she only realized about 74 million people feel the same way about her father.

Yep, it is the one and only Kissinger.
Agreed. They have not yet figured out that We the People think for ourselves and do not buy the media spin. The songbird sold out his fellow soldiers and then made a career out of selling out the American people. We know it and no amount of media spin will ever convince us otherwise.
Ditto for the rest of the swamp creatures.
Boy, that blow up doll is sure deluded.
Is Thunder Thighs upset again? Her grifter daddy was part of a coup to bring down a duly elected President. Why wouldn’t President Trump and millions of others despise the guy who did that?
meg, your dad disgraced himself, the usa, the senate seat he held, the state of AZ and most of all importance to you - he disgraced you by feeding you lies and or omitting info so that you seem to gloss over all the selfish and evil intentioned things he did over his life. You may be grown in age but you have not matured enough to look at your dad objectively yet.
You still want to see him as such a perfect great guy but truth is truth whether you want to accept it or not. John McCain did many many things to hurt huge amounts of people the world over. He used his position to enrich himself more than to serve well those who elected him and the usa.
McLame only married her because her Daddy had enough money to bankroll his campaigns. He cheated on his wife who stood by him through his imprisonment in part because she was disfigured in a car accident.
The world doesn’t revolve around your backstabbing, vindictive, vengeful angry pops, Meghoo. Time to move on, but it sounds like you might just be like dear old dad.
Has Meghan McCain ever addressed the substance of the "criticisms" of her father?
She has done very well for herself off his coattails.
Many of the things he did as Senator were disgraceful, especially his untruths to his own constituents to get himself reelected.
She cannot continue to ignore the substance of the criticisms of her father's performance as a Senator.
