3/ I was the first adult that @MeghanMcCain ever encountered that she heard the word NO from. I told her she was unimportant and that the Presidential election wasn\u2019t about her. I left her on the tarmac when she didn\u2019t make the plane because as I explained to her, the 5000 people

4/ who were waiting to see her father speak and took the time to do it deserved to have him show up on time. That was the way John McCain saw it. He was appalled by @MeghanMcCain conduct on the campaign. Appalled and embarrassed. The tantrums were beyond anything I have

5/ever witnessed from any other human being. They were epic meltdowns that would test the range of Meryl Streep, Kate Winslett, Jodi Foster and Anne Hathaway on their best days. Raging, screaming, crying, at the staff, at the makeup people at Secret Service. Without any doubt

6/ it was the most rotten, entitled, spoiled, cruel, mean and bullying behavior I have ever witnessed. It was my job to confront it and I did. I talked to 24 year old @MeghanMcCain the way an adult should have talked to the Trump kids. I talked to her the way a retired USMC

7/ 4 Star General failed to do in the WH with Ivanka, Jared and Jr. They are all the same people. I told her that she was unimportant and that everything around her had nothing to do with her. I told her she was privileged and lucky and should be grateful. She told me and

8/ anyone else who would listen in response, \u201cDo you know who the Fuck my Dad is\u201d It was the miserable anthem of the total chaos that was the McCain Campaign. It never stopped until one day when I said ENOUGH!

9/ @MeghanMcCain is a bully, entitled, unaccomplished, spoiled and mean. She has rejected her Family\u2019s history of service for a shallow and purposeless celebrity where she trades on a famous name like a fourth generation wannabe clipping coupons while pretending to be an heir

11/ He was the only person I ever worked for who put in a position where I became involved in a public lie. When that campaign ended, I made a vow that that would never happen again and it hasn\u2019t.

Claims of pedophilia are authoritarian playbook rhetoric. It's a favorite tactic of Putin, so the GOP has, of course, embraced it despite the fact that they have the most charges against many of them and no one seems to care.https://twitter.com/steveschmidtses/status/1523066920643088385\u00a0\u2026

AT LAST, Meghan has taken on a person who knows her and is not afraid of her tantrums.https://twitter.com/SteveSchmidtSES/status/1523066920643088385\u00a0\u2026

Why am I not surprised by this?? #MeghanMcCain has always been an unaccomplished, spoiled, entitled, brat who throws her dead daddy\u2019s name around like a damn coupon. #Trashyhttps://twitter.com/steveschmidtses/status/1523066920643088385\u00a0\u2026
