Obama, Bush Decry ‘Bigoted Despots’ At McCain Memorial And Speaking Of Trump, He Golfed And Tweeted About Canada
Everybody who's anybody in American politics spent Saturday mourning the late Senator John McCain at a memorial service held at the Washington National Cathedral.
Donald Trump wasn't invited. Literally.
Personal invitations were extended to former presidents Obama and Bush, but not to the man who currently occupies the Oval Office. Trump repeatedly maligned the Senator while he was alive, mocking him at rallies and, in an infamous 2015 interview, disparaging his military record.
Trump was not
Obama, the real President of the United States, indeed! Great comment, H! I hope the fake president watched with angry envy and saw many from his own repub party honor a highly respected man. The one camera shot of Princess Ivanka that I saw, I thought she looked stunned and uncomfortable.
It was evident from the speakers, one after the other, there was no love for trump in that crowd but his name was never mentioned, by anyone. Perhaps when it was over and they all left with thoughts of what they saw and heard, they also read the tweets that trump sent out to the entire world, ripping the DOJ and FBI while John McCain was being eulogized with sincere respect.
Perhaps it will help motivate the GOP cowards to end the disgrace infecting the Republican Party.
Meghan McCain for President in 2020!
don’t get carried away — geesh. I feel for her and Cindy too – but realistically, how about someone who could muster up a serious challenge against the repubs? now, take a breath.
What what do you mean “how about someone who could muster up a serious challenge AGAINST the repubs”? The McCains (Meghan included) have always been, and continue to be, Republicans. She would certainly run as a Republican were she to seek office.
It’s pretty incredible that in just two short years, Trump and the Republican majority in Congress have managed to move so far to the right that Meghan McCain could be confused for being a Democrat.
wow – you are 100% correct – John McCain was so neutral – the way it really should be – I literally forgot he was a repub!
However, Meghan cannot compete with other repubs … but having second thoughts now … sure, c’mon Meghan, makes it easy for Democrats to win!
The McCain’s are good people and I respect them all. 😃
Great piece. Thank you. You are a very good writer. I enjoy reading your work. Graphics are awesome too!
