The Hill: Trump attacks Meghan McCain and her family
The Hill ^ | 10/22/21 03:06 PM EDT | BY LEXI LONAS

Former President Trump attacked Meghan McCain and her family in a statement Friday, mocking her for saying she left ABC’s “The View” due to a toxic work environment and going after her father, the late Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), who died in 2018.

“Isn’t it funny that Meghan McCain, who has always been a bully and basically a lowlife, is now complaining that it was she who was bullied by the Slobs and Radical Left maniacs of ‘The View,’ ” Trump said.

“In any event, Meghan should fight the Communists instead of explaining how they beat her, hurt her, and made her 'physically ill.' She should fight back against the Losers of The View the way she fights against very good and well-meaning Republicans, and she would do herself a world of good,” the former president added.

McCain recently announced her departure from “The View,” where she was the lone conservative voice for years.

In a new audiobook titled "Bad Republican,” McCain said there was "toxic, direct and purposeful hostility" towards her from her co-hosts.

Trump also attacked Meghan McCain's father.

“At the request of many of her representatives, I made it possible for her father to have the world’s longest funeral, designed and orchestrated by him, even though I was never, to put it mildly, a fan. In his own very special way, he was a RINO’s RINO,” Trump said, using an acronym for "Republican in name only."

In the statement, Trump continued to push the false narrative that he won the state of Arizona in the 2020 presidential election despite having no evidence for the claim.

Trump has continuously attacked the McCain family since John McCain died in 2018, with Meghan McCain firing back at Trump’s comments.

Meghan McCain recently said Trump’s daughter, Ivanka Trump, and Jared Kushner had no right to go to her father’s funeral after Trump’s behavior.

"They should never have come," Meghan McCain said. "They had no business being there."

Bravo! The McCains openly supported Brandon’s election. They deserve everything Trump dished out to them.

Mr. Meghan McCain was on the NR “Against Trump” cover.

The only one on that cover that admitted he was wrong was Glenn Beck.

Katie Pavlich?

Brent Bozell?

Any others?

Seriously… moderate Republicans can kiss my grits! After what the low-life McCains did to Sarah Palin and your vaunted moderated Republicans stayed home that election cycle or voted for Obama/Biden, they can deal with the flood of illegals and imported uncivilized workers soon to be mowing their lawns, washing their windows and changing their babies diapers..

“That’s silly. Men can be massively corrupt and power mad
With women you get that AND emotion”

Your argument is, Women can’t run organizations?

How ignorant.

I can’t wait for the day Juan McCain’s military records get released, if ever.

There aren’t enough white male conservative voters to re-elect Trump. He will need moderate Republicans and independents to win. Attacking Meghan McCain and making negative statements about Colin Powell when he died does not benefit Trump and turns off many voters he will need to be reelected. Why waste time and energy going after people who ate irrelevant. Attack Biden, Harris, Garland, and others who do have power and are destroying the country. Those people, and their policies ate what he will be running against. The McCains are history as is Colin Powell.

The press baits Trump with the irrelevant and he instinctively jumps in a mean spirited way. If asked about the Meghan McCain he can put her down by simply saying, “My focus today is on the suffering of the American people 100% caused by the destructive policies of the current administration and Congress. I don’t waste time on background noise. Let’s talk about the disaster on the border.”

Yes. People think he’s being Reagan, when it looks more like he’s being Goldwater, doubling down on the things the base wants to hear and turning off the swing voters he would need to win.

Yeah, I get your point…. Too many white males are too wrapped up on getting a spot on the women’s sports teams. And dressing so they can get access to the women’s restrooms and dressing rooms. Wonder? Could it be their parents self identify as moderate Republicans?

“It is fighting back. And people who don’t like it or are offended by it-I don’t care. Just get out of the way.”

BRAVO, BRAVO, excellent rant, dead on. You get the best post award here.

“This is the sort of thing he shouldn’t bother with if he wants to get back into the White House.”

He WILL be back in the WH, and it’s exactly because he doubles down. He fights fire with fire. The Dems double down; he double doubles down. I love the man; you remind me of the Cowardly Lion.

“The McCain family has no political power and no relevance. Continuing to bash the McCains does not benefit Trump. If anything it reinforces the negative impression moderate Republican and independent female voters have of Trump as a crude, rude, and insensitive boor. He should be spending his time attacking the people actually destroying the country, not the remaining female members of family fading into obscurity.”

Your attitude is what helped to lose the election for Trump, other than that it was stolen. Your wimpy, cowardly attitude and inability to fight below the belt if necessary against our enemies, the Dems, are what weakens our Party, the squishy RINO types (even while claiming to be conservatives). Its the weak-kneed you can’t say this, you can’t say that because you might offend somebody types will be the death of the Party.

All non-warriors need to be purged from the Pubs; we need fighters, and you aren’t one. In fact you sound just like the Dems, trying to cancel Trump’s speech; just like the WOKE folk. Learn how to fight back if you’ve got even a smidgen of that in you. You are just like the Karens that infest our suburbs; oh those mean Trump tweets, while we sink into a socialist/Marxist paradise. This is war, my FRiend, and I don’t think you are up to it. I smell milquetoast.

Excellent post! I could not have stated it better or agree more.

So tired of playing the “gentlemanly” game. It’s gotten us nowhere other than where we are right now.

So what did he accomplish with his screed, other than keep his base riled up?

“I’m a suburban woman and I LOVED Trump’s tweets and found them hilarious and insightful.
But no one need fear his “mean tweets” anymore because he’s banned for life from Twitter.”

Oh, but the Dems are about to have to fear Trump’s tweets once again, because as of mid-February 2022, his new social media platform goes public and Trump will once again be strutting upon the political media stage big-time. Take that you suburban Karens. Then they will have a real choice to make, mean tweets or living in a Commie hell-hole. Lets see if they make a wiser choice in 2024.

As so many of them are educationally brainwashed millenials, a wise choice is in doubt. The demographic shift and the educational dumbing down of so many emotion laden women in the burbs may mean it is too late to salvage them.

However, mitigating factors are they don’t like having their children being taught to hate their own whiteness, and they don’t like inflation affecting their purchasing power. And they don’t like expensive gas. We’ll see if that is enough to overcome their “mean tweets” syndrome. It’s a crap shoot.

He was brilliant bashing a dead McCain before the general election. I’m sure it helped.

It’s like Rep Posey said, “They want you to put it back where you found it, and leave it the hell alone”.
