Meghan McCain: 'I'm never going to forgive' Trump for attacking my father

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Sen. John McCain's (R-Ariz.) daughter and "The View" co-host Meghan McCain said she is done accepting "private" apologies from the White House and she will never forgive President Trump and his administration for public attacks on her father.

“[Trump's] comments are never going to be OK with me, especially at this moment in my life. I’m never going to forgive it. I’m never going to move on from it," she said during an interview at the Lyndon B. Johnson presidential library in Austin, Texas, where she accepted the LBJ Liberty and Justice for All Award on behalf of her father.


Trump has mocked John McCain multiple times since his presidential campaign, including since the senator was diagnosed with brain cancer. Most recently, Trump commented on him at a rally last weekend.

Meghan McCain also said that she has ceased taking private phone calls from members of the Trump administration after aide Kelly Sadler, who joked about her father's brain cancer, promised a public apology but never followed through.

"If anyone [at the White House] wants to say anything to me in any way, they have to do it publicly. I don’t take private phone calls from the Trump Administration anymore," McCain said.

The White House was ensnared by controversy earlier this year when The Hill reported that Sadler, a former Washington Times opinion editor who worked on the White House communications staff, reportedly joked about the senator's ailing health during a meeting.

[pangaia]

3. MEH !!!!

What the fuck sane person would even talk to that diseased, shriveled prick??

[Drahthaardogs]

4. Yeah, but you'll still vote for him

It's how you people are.

[area51]

30. +1 n/t

[juxtaposed]

5. snarky ppl. would say ok,,, real people would say phuck you.

[Golden Raisin]

6. Conservative, self-important, white Republican to her core,

living in a delusional bubble of privilege.

[AlexSFCA]

7. but she almosy always defends trump on the view

what is it gonna take? Death? She has the opportunity now to go against GOP. GOP supports trump and his rhetoric. Dont just blame trump, blame gop.

[JHB]

8. Clap clap clap, here's your 'participated" trophy

The Republican party has spent decades preparing a voter base that would embrace a Trump, Megan.

Trump mocked your father before the primaries were concluded, and he was the guy your party picked.

[NRaleighLiberal]

9. just another party over principle republishit. Agreed - MEH

[Cha]

10. Well that is one important point that

I'm glad she's doing.

I don't forgive her for all her bullshit she throws at our Democratic party.

[gratuitous]

11. Unless he offers you a White House job

That's my guess, at least.

[trueblue2007]

12. well i fell sorry for her. she is a daughter and she loves her dad.

[hibbing]

13. How courageous!

[BallardWA]

14. I am sorry for her personal loss..

but it does not excuse her from defending Dana Loesch. That gal is a cancer far
worse than her father is battling. It's a cancer on our future. Meghan, you go
on, long past your father, make it right.

[DarthDem]

15. That's Nice & Good to Hear

Now follow through by, say, not voting for Republicans anymore. Or becoming a voice against this administration.

[Rorey]

16. I'm never going to forgive -45 for a whole lotta things.

Does Megan deserve a gold star for finding ONE thing that's unforgivable to her? -45 has hurt a whole lot of people a helluva lot worse than he hurt McCain's family. It's too bad that Megan can't see outside her own little selfish world.

[GulfCoast66]

17. What the fuck is this right wing bitch doing at the LBJ library?

Ole Lyndon Bains is rolling in his grave at honoring people who are working hard to destroy hiis legacy.


Good god, they are working hard to roll back all his civil rights and social justice policies.

[Generic Brad]

18. Yet she still turns a blind eye and supports everything Trump asks for

She can talk the talk. But she has no idea how to walk the walk.

[Totally Tunsie]

19. Are we to believe she was really receiving private calls from the WH,

or is this just another example of her wishful thinking? She'll say or do anything to seem relevant and has an exaggerated opinion of her own importance.

[Turbineguy]

20. Yes, there's no shortage of

unforgivable behavior from trump.

[JI7]

21. Fuck Her , She is ok with his attacks on minorities and other shit he does but it's only her own

personal thing that matters.

[7wo7rees]

23. Precisely.

Fraud, illicit behavior, corruption throughout, no biggie.
But don't you talk like that about my daddy!

[mchill]

26. She is a self-centered rich girl

only concerned with self.

[njhoneybadger]

22. She has a strange way of showing it

[bullwinkle428]

24. Save it, Meghan - you're the poster girl for Ultimate White Privilege.

[struggle4progress]

25. I hear the White House has been too busy with prank calls to talk to real people anyway

[RhodeIslandOne]

27. "But I'll continue to defend everything he does policywise, no matter how abhorrent of course"

Shut up, Meg.

[rusty quoin]

28. I think more Republicans will fall.

It’s Trump for God’s sake. He cannot help himself.

But the big question is how much damage will he do in the end?

[Power 2 the People]

29. If I'm not mistaken

On The View last week she said she had friends and family who currently work for the Trump administration. I guess Trump's comments about her father weren't sufficiently harsh enough for them to take a moral stand and quit. I guess the old saying is true..with friends (and family) like these, who needs enemies?

[betsuni]

31. Yes she did.

She speaks from both sides of her mouth. Trump said bad things about Daddy so *pout* but she said she doesn't suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome; family and friends work for the administration so don't be mean to them (they are obviously morally superior and always right because "conservative values" ). The two Supreme Court nominees are a big win, there is a lot of winning. Then she claimed to take a centrist position most of the time.

[duforsure]

32. As long as she and her father remains in his party caging little children,

hurting the poor and middle class, banning religions, promoting corruption racism and lies, attacking our allies while becoming pro russia and hugging putin and other terrorist dictators, what he said about her father is nothing compared to his attack on our Democracy. Both her and her Dad should renounce their pass republican party for accepting him and his regime, or they're part of it, and join the Democrats by joining their party against him and this attacks on our country.Until enough switch putting country before party it will get really bad . Loyalty to a dictator over country isn't acceptable from her or her father anymore .

[Achilleaze]

33. When republicans worship a five-time draft-dodger pissing on an American POW

and pissing on our veterans
and pissing on our Gold Star families

You know the republicans have totally screwed up "values"

[blueinredohio]

34. I could care less about anything Meghan McCain says.
