Conservative pundit Meghan McCain tore into Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on Wednesday after he refuted assertions she made about who was invited to attend her father’s 2018 funeral.
During a recent television interview promoting her newly published memoir, McCain said that former President Trump‘s daughter Ivanka Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner, had “no goddamn business” attending funeral services for her father, the late Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.).
“They should never have come,” Meghan McCain told Bravo host Andy Cohen last week. “They had no business being there.”
The former co-host of “The View” said Kushner and Trump’s attendance that day is “something that still angers me, clearly.”
In an interview with The Washington Post, Graham, a close friend of John McCain’s and a political ally of Donald Trump’s, suggested Kushner and Ivanka Trump were invited to the late senator’s funeral.
“She was upset they were there — I understand that, and she has hard feelings but I know what happened and nobody showed up uninvited,” Graham said, according to the newspaper. “I love Meghan McCain and I understand how stressful all this has been for her and those who attack her dad will never be forgiven by her.”
Meghan McCain shot back at Graham on Wednesday for weighing in on the incident and took a shot at the Post for quoting the Republican senator on the matter.
Lindsey Graham may consider himself a member of my family, but he is not and hasn’t been for a very long time. He certainly doesn’t speak for me or my life experiences. Full stop. The media should stop treating him like he is an expert on anything McCain related.

Since leaving “The View” over what she has publicly described as a “toxic” environment of bullying based on her conservative political beliefs, McCain has traded barbs with the former president, who on Friday issued a statement saying he “made it possible for her father to have the world’s longest funeral.”
“My family and him have a blood feud at this point,” McCain said during an interview on Fox News over the weekend. “It’s about what conservatism looks like post-Trump, which I think is something Republicans will really have to take a hard look at one way or another if he ends up running in 2024.”
Graham’s office declined to comment on McCain’s tweet.

She needs to understand no one is perfect. Not her, not her Father. If she can’t accept condolences from those she doesn’t like she needs to know it takes her perfection down a step or two. God. Is the judge. I understand her not wanting to be on the view. But everyone has a right to their thinking. I wish everyone would believe in forgiveness. Since Trump isn’t perfect it doesn’t mean he was a bad president. Look at all the bad things that have happened with the democrats in control claiming to be Catholic but going against the Pope and stealing my tax money to fund the murdering of babies.
Megan McCain is a pathetic sow. I can’t believe anyone would want to attend her father’s funeral he was a petty person. Megan is as disgusting as her father.
Funny, you sound rather petty yourself! When is the last time you spent years in a North Vietnamese POW, the worst one possible, Hanoi Hilton, for anybody’s freedom???
You sound like a moron! McCain wasn’t the hero you liberals made him out to be and you only started to like him when he didn’t likeTrump. You pathetic liberal bs makes me sick just like the old sow Megan. Educate yourself!
Tom I would also guess you’re one who voted for that pos Obama. You didn’t have a problem when he and Hillary left our men to die in Benghazi, but defend McCain who wasn’t a hero. Liberals like to rewrite everything to be what you want it to be. You probably support the way Biden pulled us out of our Afghanistan. Yeah you belong on Megan McCains side of this.
You need to do a lot of research on the McCain family. He was a traitor to America before Trump. After Hanoi he spent a lot of time at the Pentagon stopping the investigation of any Military prisoners that may have been still alive in Viet Nam. He was involved in the Russia scam about Pres. Trump. His Grandfather had the USS Liberty destroyed before the investigation was completed. All the McCain males are corrupt.
Well said, Totally agree.
She is not conservative, how dare her to use God’s name in vain. She should be ashamed of that!
John McCain, is dead and buried,what difference does it make anymore.We all need to get along with each other,in case Megan has not realized it, the United States is falling apart, thanks to Mr. Biden.
THE U.S. HAS BEEN FALLING APART FOR YEARS!!!! GET ON THE BANDWAGON LADIES!!!!! THE KNEW WORLD ORDER IS TAKING OVER, ALL THE BIDENS AND TRUMPS AND OBAMAS WILL NOT BE THERE TO HELP ANYONE!!!!!????? ?????
Hah, the Beijing bidens and muslim fraudbamas are only there to “help themselves” – -no one else.
All the McCain’s are frauds. Yes, poor Meghan, selling books on how she was bullied, as she bullies others. McCain doesn’t have 1/10th the following DJT has. She also has no clue about “conservatism” when her dead beat dad downvoted to repeal Obamacare. Just more swamppy frauds trying to figure out their next grift, and how to suck more money from China. McCain wasn’t brave. He served our Country. FULL STOP. I love how you lefties jump in to protect anyone who served, except of course those who supported our President, and were framed by the FBI. GFY. Nobody takes the left serious. You have the media, academia, & Hollywood. Congrats, not a principled group among you. Just frauds, like McCain & the other RINOs.
Someone should explain to ungrateful, mucky meg, that her “dear papa” was a rabid traitor who DID NOT deserve the “stately funeral, nor military accolades” that were “wrongly” permitted by President Trump; the “canary” should have been dumped, head down, into a mud-hole, in a pauper’s cemetery! And if she wanted any “proof”of this, she only needs to talk to a few of the “real heroes” who were betrayed by the “canary” during their time in Nam!
Dear Ruth:
I agree with every word you have written above!!
Thank you!!!
I hope President Trump or Mike Pompeo run for President 2024 with Texas’ Governor as VP!!
