Meghan McCain on Saturday presented the legacy of her father, John McCain, as a sharp contrast to the conduct of President Donald Trump, with whom the late senator bitterly feuded.
Although McCain didn't mention the President by name -- and he was not present at the service, in accordance with the late senator's wishes -- she made several unmistakable and pointed references throughout her emotional remarks.
"We gather here to mourn 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 live lives of comfort and privilege while he suffered and served," McCain told the crowd of mourners at Washington National Cathedral, which included family, friends, former presidents, military officials and foreign leaders.
"The America of John McCain has no need to be made great again, because America was always great," she said, a not-so-veiled reference to Trump's 2016 campaign slogan. The line was received with loud and sustained applause in the cathedral.

Everyone loves to talk about President Trump
Have they got that guy in the ground YET???
His record with the Keating Five?
Or his losing record running for president?
He’s mercifully getting buried tomorrow, Sunday.
Yeah, a lot of folks know about McCain’s “legacy”. Even at liberal Yahoo and whole LOT of people are on to McCain.
Not the liberals, mind you.
I love it when the classless complain that Trump has no class. As if he is the one using the death of mccaniac to attack anyone.
Zip it, Fatty. I respect your family grief, but not your preaching to me.

If his name was McCain,you’d be working at Chuckie Cheese!
She just could not put it aside for today. Sad
Does this black cow Megan ever shut up?? (rhetorical)
Reminds me of this...
Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears;
I will return them next Saturday.
I come to bury Caesar because the times are hard
And his folks can’t afford to hire an undertaker.
The evil that men do lives after them
In the shape of their progeny
Who reap the benefit of their life insurance.....
Poor Meagan, she must be heartbroken, they expected the streets to be lined with mourners by the hundreds of thousands. Instead there was a mere smattering in Arizona, more people showed up for the Trump rally the same time the prior year.
They anticipated weeping and got only indifference. It had to be a shock

That sounds like Obama and Andrew Cuomo. The New Normal thing and America was never that Great.
Do they have Poisonous Snakes out there because this sure sounds like it.
This wasn’t a funeral for McCain. It was a Trump hate fest by the Swamp and Drive-Bys. Trump’s approval numbers will go up, not down. Thanks John McCain and Drive-Bys.
There are many “men of cheap rhetoric.” The room was amply supplied with them at that moment.
Mcstain died as he lived, petty, vindictive, disloyal. His family continues his legacy.
