The New York Post mocked Meghan McCain as “The Meg” on its Sunday cover after she used the opportunity of her father’s funeral to attack President Trump. “The Meg” is a reference to a plus-sized shark in the late-summer hit movie The Meg, starring Jason Staham.
The New York Post cover is just one part of a brewing backlash against McCain and the overall funeral service for Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), which turned into an unseemly partisan rally Saturday with speakers like former Presidents Barack Obama and even George W. Bush trashing President Trump, who Sen. McCain refused to invite to his own funeral.
Also not invited was former Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin, John McCain’s unfailingly loyal 2008 vice presidential running mate.
What made Saturday’s shocking display all the more crass was that Trump’s daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared were invited to the funeral and were forced to sit there and be humiliated, which might have been the plan. The McCain’s are infamous for holding petty grudges.
In an obvious shot at Trump, Meghan McCain used her eulogy to describe the death of her father as 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 lived lives of comfort and privilege while he suffered and served.”
For good measure, she added, “The America of John McCain has no need to be made great again because America was always great.”
Obama was also not subtle. He ripped into those who traffic in “bombast and insult and phony controversies and manufactured outrage.”

Tough Titty
Had to believe Meghan is so chubby.
Ha! Right on, NYPost.
President Trump sent Air Force Two to bring the casket from Phoenix to DC, gave the military services and band and even allowed tor the horse and cassion for the internment and this is how the low class McCains thank him.
Cancer? I think heart attack would be better candidate.
Cancer takes too long and gives time to plan all this silliness.
lol
She so deserved it, too.
And, once again, Bush can kiss my @ss.
Every time the media tried to sink Bush, WE HAD HIS BACK, yet there he was working with the media in order to try to sink Trump.
F that CHIMP.
Great classic that should not be forgotten.
She’s just as petty as her pa.
Oh, THAT is rich!
McSwamp was probably rolling over in his casket yelling “Hey, this is MY funeral; they’re supposed to be paying homage to ME”.
I only hope that Ivanka and Jared WAKE UP. They're either incredibly naïve about the evil of what President Trump has taken on by becoming President or they've been co-opted by the Deep State.
They should go home to NYC. They never belonged in DC, beyond a few months of transition.
They were invited by Sen Graham, after he consulted with Cindy McCain. I have no idea why they decided to come as must have been quite humiliating to listen to all the Trump bashing. Meghan looks like she is using food to deal with her anger issues. Get some professional help Meghan.
Watch, all the RATs will come to The Meg’s defense
I guess I missed it but where was McCain’s first wife and three kids?
No, they are naive, plain & simple and that shocks me that they are.
The Meg.... Good thing none of the attendees had a harpoon.
What an awful approach to your dad’s funeral.
Her usefulness to them is just about over.
