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.”

That is one excellent tweet from Mr. Prosobiec.
The hate is too much with these people, clouding all common sense and decorum.
The headlines should’ve been how beautiful, eloquent etc.. the memorial was celebrating John McCain’s life.
Instead, Trump wins again!!
McCain’s pettiness, evil spirit & jealousy didn’t die with him, The Meg will carry the torch.
“Re: 6
You have to make comments about her appearance?
No class.”
The Meg refers to a massive creature. “Class” is reserved for the deserving and goes out the window with the classless.
It’s fixed bayonets time...El Deguello.
Have the leftist morons finally jumped the shark?
Just like her worthless father, Megan Does not deserve respect. Go clutch your pearls somewhere else.
“Meg needs to cut back on the mac and cheese.”
Needs to not be a stranger at the salad bar and maybe join a gym.
The McCains are convinced all those folks on the Left adored John.
They didn’t in 2008.
What’s more, if he came back to life, they wouldn’t support him any better.
The Left pretends, so it can stick in the eye of Conservatism.
“The Meg.... Good thing none of the attendees had a harpoon.”
Or a dart gun.
Simple. If my dad isn’t welcome then we won’t be attending. See. Simple.
It is sad when one must use natural death for partisan propaganda. At least stalin murdered them, outright forethought. The average person got the message. Oppertunity of random death... not so clear.
I have no compunction.
He got millions of innocents murdered for personal political gain, after a fact in some dispute. He also helped kill a million not so innocent.
Understand the difference between murder and kill. Judge accordingly to conscience. Perhaps my understanding is likewise in a form of dispute with itself.
He was once a patriot, and then... A senator. One can not be both, it is unAmerican. Elected corporatist, when one one is granted permission to enter the most exclusive club on the planet. Few know... A US Senator has more actual power than a elected President.
May a god have a mercy on the soul.
At least the nooz did not have to cut Farrakhan out of a video clip at the staged event. The rain... A strange thing.
Agree & well said.
Gathering information on the enemy maybe?
According to pugmama: They were invited by Sen Graham, after he consulted with Cindy McCain. Don’t know if this is the case or not, but CWII needs to just get started and we can all go at it since that is what it seems that many Trump critics want to happen. I personally dread that happening, but with each passing day it seems to be more & more what is going to happen.
Shut up, Meg.
Maybe his graciousness reminded them of how accomplished and powerful he is, and how nerdy and insignificant they are. Just a hypothesis.
Love the false eyelashes
