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.

McCain has NO legacy.
He will be remembered for being small and petty and engineer of the savings and loan debacle that destroyed thousands of lives.
Love fake news.
Some legacy when liberals and Never Trumpers are wellstoning at a funeral.
CNN just missed the irony of this macabre event - which wasn’t really about McCain at all.
These people attending it are small, mean and bitter and the President is larger than life.
They couldn’t stop talking about him.
The longest goodbye ever.
Make it stop!
You know Trump’s going to make fun of her weight in a tweet. I give him a week before he decides the cease fire has expired.
On the positive side, this suggests that McCain’s replacement won’t be one of his female relatives.
ROFL
It’s Paul Wellstone’s memorial all over again. This will backfire.
Trump’s record thus far is real accomplishment, economic growth, confirming conservative judges, getting rid of ISIS etc
McCain did nothing but sell out conservative voters for years.
This is a case of Real accomplishment versus fools gold.
Usually a funeral is about the deceased. seems that McCain and his mourners are a tad hateful of the living.
Vietnam Veterans Against McCain
a man with no honor whatsoever.
Yes there’s is a big contrast between McCain and Trump. I know who is a better man
Almost as big a contrast is there is between Meghan’s fat ass with Ivanka’s pert derrière
Not Just mccain, they are using Aretha Franklin's funeral as well. There is no low they won't sink to.
So she’s saying 63 million of her fellow countrymen are wrong, misguided and racists. Remind me what she’s ever done for this country, even up against my modest service in the Army of the United States, much less the service of that late Air Force warrior who just received the Medal of Honor? If her father had been named Dick Schmidt she’d be pole dancing in Fairbanks or waitressing at a Waffle House in Gulfport.
That’ll do, pig. That’ll do.
McCain will be a distant memory by tomorrow evening.
6 feet under with dirt on top.
All ready to be naturally fertilized.
Early and often.
I find the whole thing hilarious.
In attacking Trump, his enemies revealed what they’re not.
He made the correct decision to stay away. It turned out to be the appropriate thing to do.
Funerals tell us more than we ever want to know about the true meaning of life.
This one did that very well and in spades.
He probably shouldn’t, as he is getting a bit portly himself.
One will be in the history books forever.
You dad will be forgotten like any other dead senatard.
