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.

Short and to the Point,
Thanks.
One offers great latitude when a daughter speaks of her deceased father but it is never appropriate to build up one person by tearing down another.
John Lewis-—Hypocrite!
They can celebrate McLame all they want.
I am celebrating his just being done. Every time I see a story on his funeral, I just smile knowing that GOP turncoat can’t work against the GOP any longer. He is now with a different gang of 8. RIP. God bless him. I am just thrilled he is gone.
Her political career should be over unless she becomes a dimoKKKRAT.
You really want to cut folks who are suffering the lost of a loved one a little slack.. but there is a line many crossed that has little to do with either dignity or respect.. and certain media&cohorts know who they are and many of those who spoke at memorial services crossed that line like it was the Maginot.
They can’t wait for the next big one to fall.. especially if it was Trump.
Never let a good funeral go to waste.
Yeah, to the point where they can’t even do a funeral properly.
“Poor Meagan, she must be heartbroken, they expected the streets to be lined with mourners by the hundreds of thousands. Instead there was a mere smattering in Arizona, more people showed up for the Trump rally the same time the prior year.
They anticipated weeping and got only indifference. It had to be a shock.”
I still say another reason why McShame hated Sarah Palin and President Trump is that they drew crowds that McShame could only dream about and I really believe that had a lot to do about it.
I think you are right. I’m pretty sure McCain visualized the streets of Phoenix lined with weeping Arizonans, highway travel were people pulled to the side of the road and got out to pay respects like they did for RR in California. I really think the family expected that.
One man was beloved, the other loathed.
FU, you spoiled little tramp
Your Daddy was as phony as you are
Trump’s making America great again. Your poor excuse of a father betrayed us from Hanoi to today
He lost to the fraud Obama. What a pussy Daddy was
Yeah, way to reach across that aisle, you petty little child
Like the Clintons, you are unworthy to set foot in this Nation. And like Dear OLD DEAD Dad, you get everything you have from your paternal relationship, and nothing else
GFY
And for that she got a high Keating five from all the major media.
Exactly what did Meghan McCain think her ‘pointed references’ toward Pres Trump were.....perhaps, ‘cheap rhetoric’?!
“They anticipated weeping and got only indifference. It had to be a shock.”
No indifference here. I am relishing the last few days and my only regret is that it is over. McCain is DEAD!
They can’t get dirt on top of this a-hole hero wanna-be fast enough > IMO.
And...
Arizona still doesn’t have a Senator.
Come to think of it, our veterans and MIA families suddenly have one less threat too.
Poor Vietnam. They lost a good one...
There hasn’t been this much mourning in Vietnam, since Ho Chi Minh died.
“:^)
McSWINES legacy of CORRUPTION; other than that and a fat, stupid, hysterical daughter what legacy did McSwine leave behind?
