Since the 2016 campaign trail, former President Donald Trump hasn't kept his distaste for the late Arizona Republican Senator John McCain a secret.

Trump scoffed at the descriptor of McCain as a war hero because "he was captured" in Vietnam and held as a prisoner of war for years. Upon McCain's death, Trump initially refused to fly White House flags at half staff. Trump has since suggested that McCain is burning in hell.

McCain's eldest daughter, Meghan McCain, recently released a memoir—Bad Republican—detailing her life, especially regarding details of her years as a controversial cohost of The View. Over the course of that job, Ms. McCain frequently had to react to Trump and his family's smears of her father.

In a statement reacting to Meghan McCain's memoir, Trump slammed her as a "lowlife" before once again slamming her father in a lengthy diatribe.

Trump wrote:

"At the request of many of her representatives, I made it possible for her father to have the world's longest funeral, designed and orchestrated by him, even though I was never, to put it mildly, a fan. In his own very special way, he was a RINO's RINO."

Trump went on to lie that he won the state of Arizona in 2020, despite now-President Joe Biden's victory being repeatedly proven under scrutiny.

For her part, Meghan McCain's response was brief.

McCain's unapologetic conservatism has earned her swathes of critics, but even they sided with her on this one.





But not everyone was sympathetic.

Florence Pugh And Josh Gad Lead Celebrity Outrage After Cornell Frat Members Assigned Essays As Punishment For Sexual Assault

About a week ago, the story of the "Cornell 7" allegations broke publicly when a civil lawsuit was filed by a former Cornell University student known only as Jane Doe. The lawsuit detailed an October 2024 sexual assault at the Chi Phi fraternity house and Cornell University's handling of the assault after it was reported to school officials.

The public backlash against the seven rapists and four university officials named in the suit, as well as Cornell University, the Ivy League, and fraternities as a whole has been swift. Many people have shared their own experiences with institutions of higher learning and the mishandling of sexual assaults.

Trump Hit With Blistering Factcheck After Making Patently False Claim About Prices Going 'Way Down'

President Donald Trump was swiftly fact-checked by CNN fact-checker Daniel Dale after he claimed to members of the press that "almost every price has come way down" following Joe Biden's presidency.

Earlier in the day, Trump bragged to reporters that the United States has the "best poverty," sparking immediate criticism. He continued to lie later, even as inflation remains above the level recorded when Biden left office, economic growth has slowed, and the cost of filling a gas tank has surged roughly 50% since the war against Iran began.
