when McCain's casket was placed for Lying In State.

Meghan McCain didn't look any too happy when Pence twice intoned tRump's name. You could see the death stare and the scorn on her face when Pence interjected tRump into her father's service. tRump was unwanted there in ANY form - even the mere mention of him was too much for Meghan.

I'd bet his mention of tRump was quite deliberate, and found it disrespectful and offensive. It's better that Pence just disappears for the weekend.
