Fresh invective aimed at the deceased Arizona legislator draws ire from McCain’s daughter, Meghan
U.S. President Donald Trump meets with Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro in the Oval Office of the White House on March 19, 2019.Carrying a bitter personal feud beyond the grave, President Donald Trump escalated his attacks on the late Sen. John McCain on Tuesday, declaring he will “never” be a fan of the Vietnam War hero and long-time Republican lawmaker who died last year of brain cancer.
Over the weekend, Trump attacked McCain on Twitter. Among his barbs was that the long-time Arizona senator had been “last in his class” at the U.S. Naval Academy. But while McCain famously racked up demerits and earned poor grades, he ultimately graduated fifth from the bottom of his 1958 class.“He spends his weekend obsessing over great men because he knows it and I know it and all of you know it – he will never be a great man,” said Meghan McCain, on ABC’s “The View,” which she co-hosts.
Trump targeted McCain during his presidential campaign, saying in 2015 that the former prisoner-of-war was not a hero, “because he was captured.” Trump received a series of deferments to avoid serving in Vietnam, including one attained with a physician’s letter stating that he suffered from bone spurs in his feet.
