Meghan McCain on Saturday presented the legacy of her father, John McCain, as a sharp contrast to the conduct of President Donald Trump, with whom the late senator bitterly feuded.
Although McCain didn't mention the President by name -- and he was not present at the service, in accordance with the late senator's wishes -- she made several unmistakable and pointed references throughout her emotional remarks.
"We gather here to mourn 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 live lives of comfort and privilege while he suffered and served," McCain told the crowd of mourners at Washington National Cathedral, which included family, friends, former presidents, military officials and foreign leaders.
"The America of John McCain has no need to be made great again, because America was always great," she said, a not-so-veiled reference to Trump's 2016 campaign slogan. The line was received with loud and sustained applause in the cathedral.

“His record with the Keating Five? Or his losing record running for president?
Neither. his record of single-handedly stopping the abolition of obamacare ...
“They anticipated weeping and got only indifference.”
not to worry: the lying leftist fake stream enemedia showed myriad of closeup shots of small groups of mourners to make it seem like tens of thousands ...
“This wasn’t a funeral for McCain. It was a Trump hate fest by the Swamp and Drive-Bys. Trump’s approval numbers will go up, not down. Thanks John McCain and Drive-Bys’
indeed.
and neither the lying leftist fake stream enemedia nor most of the big-wigs at this funeral give two hoots about John Mccain ... they hated his guts and attacked him as an “extremist” Republican when he ran against obama ... not to mention, there was nothing really special about John McCain as a legislator other than the fact that he was virulently anti-Trump and single-handedly prevented the abolition of obamacare ... John McCain was a petty, jealous, globalist, Uniparty sellout, and these universal over-the-top eulogies are nothing more than an attempt to keep this deceased anti-Trumper in the headlines for a few more days as a means to advertise his from-beyond-the grave anti-Trump “documentaries” before everyone completely forgets that John McCain ever existed ...
Hey Meagan:
Thanks to your father throwing the 2008 election (yes, throwing), we got 8 years of Obama. As a result, America definitely became less great.
Personally, McCain seemed to care more about the approval of the Media than of his fellow conservatives.
They closed the schools early to beef up the number of people on the street, knowing kids will anything to get out of class.
Mehgan did her father proud.
I could almost see his thumbs up in his casket.
Fake news CNN thinks this is news?
They haven’t even recanted Carl Bernstein’s lies about Trump because they desperately want them to be true.
What she thinksshe being a 2 faced traitor is appropriate?
John McCain, the Flawed, Bitter, Hateful, Envious, Jealous man, who he really was, is gone forever and come Monday morning, he will also be forgotten forever. This funeral of his was a total scam of the Washington Media, Deep Swamp & Republican & Democrat Establishment buffoons!!! Shame on all of them!!!
I would suggest that Republican, Governor, Doug Ducey of Arizona not appoint any member of the McCain family to fill out the remainder of his Senate Term. If the Governor does appoint a McCain...his political career will be over the day and hour that he does it. He best name Ms. Kelli Ward to fill the McCain void, since the Senator was unable to represent any of fellow Arizona citizens and voters for the last year or so!!!
Without Trump, what would they have to report on?
I didn’t attend the funeral, but I sent a nice letter saying I approved of it. - Mark Twain
They couldn’t describe McCain’s accomplishments.
You focus on the positive not on the negative.
But their hate and rage got the better of them.
That’s what they think is a winning message with the American people.
Yeah, sure.
McCains tombstone will be a shrine for Liberals.
I haven’t been paying much attention to the McCain crap, just what I’ve seen skimming FR. Have watched zero on TV.
But the little I’ve seen has been toxic to my psyche. I need a Trump Rally to cleanse my political soul. There should be a rally soon — I hope.
Vindictiveness and disloyalty run in the family
If they can find it.
For liberals, history is a week old and people will move on to other things.
Who remembers Senator Wellstone? No one will remember McCain twenty years from now.
I made the mistake of once believing that John McCain was an honorable man.
Shakespeare used “honorable” as an insult in Julius Caesar.
It will be the biggest mistake he ever made appointing one of McCain’s to fill that seat.
