Meghan McCainis holding nothing back in her response toDonald Trump‘s suggestion at a campaign rally Wednesday nightthat the late Rep. John Dingell is “looking up” from hell.
“The Be Best anti-bullying crap, I don’t want to hear any more from anybody,” McCain, 35,said onThe Viewon Thursday.
“I don’t want to hear it from Ivanka, I don’t want to hear it from Melania, until you get him in line when it comes to disparaging people,” she continued passionately. “When you’re disparaging widows and people who have served the country and war heroes who are passed — again, I know something about it — until you get [him] in line, you are complicit in this as well.”
Melania has long been criticized for staying silent on her husband’s frequent attacks on his detractors, both online and in speeches, while at the same time promoting a campaign to end cyberbullying through her Be Best initiative.
But McCain didn’t stop her criticism at Ivanka and Melania, and slammed Trump himself for the disrespectful comment aboutRep. John Dingell, who died in February at age 92.
The talk show host also expressed frustration at the juxtaposition of what she saw as a partisan impeachment and Trump’s “cruel” attacks.
“Everything is so politicized,” Meghan said in reference to the impeachment, in which the House’s Democratic majority overcame Republican resistance on the abuse of power and obstruction of Congress charges.
“And then you see him doing a rally in front of supporters cheering for someone’s death and cheering for a beloved WWII hero and Congressman, and making pain of a family’s Christmastime and grief exponentially worse,” she continued.
Trump made the remark about John — the longest-serving Congressman in history — “looking up” at his rally in Battle Creek, Michigan, Wednesday night.
His widow Debbierespondedto the comment on Twitter on Wednesday, saying that he hurt her “in a way you can never imagine.”

“Mr. President, let’s set politics aside. My husband earned all his accolades after a lifetime of service,” Debbie wrote. “I’m preparing for the first holiday season without the man I love. You brought me down in a way you can never imagine and your hurtful words just made my healing much harder.”
“I’m terribly sorry. Please know I am thinking about you,” Cindy McCainwrote on Twitterin response to Debbie’s tweet.
