Donald Trump’s Feud With McCain Family Escalates: ‘I was Never A Fan’
The feud between President Trump and John’s McCain family escalated Tuesday as a top campaign adviser clashed with daughter Meghan McCain, and the president himself declared he’s “not a fan” of the late Republican senator.
“I was never a fan of John McCain and I never will be,” Trump told reporters at the White House, during a meeting with Brazil’s visiting president.
The comments comes after Meghan McCain, who on Monday tore into the president during an emotional segment on the TV show “The View,” went back on the offensive on social media. The 34-year-old shared a Toronto Star cartoon on Instagram showing her late father’s military medals side-by-side with a collection of pacifiers under the heading, “Donald Trump.”
Shortly afterward, Trump campaign senior adviser Katrina Pierson fired back by mocking her post with one of her own.
Trump has repeatedly tweeted about John McCain in recent days, falsely claiming the late senator graduated “last in his class” at Annapolis and slamming his role in the Russia investigation.
Trump has made of habit of attacking McCain, even after the former Republican Arizona senator’s death in August last year.
