The widow of former Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., tweeted out a screenshot Tuesday of a crude message directed at her about her daughter and deceased husband.
“I want to make sure all of you can see how kind and loving a stranger can be,” Cindy McCain wrote, noting that her intention for sharing the violent message was so that the writer’s “family and friends could see.”
The message from Tiffany Nicole’s account calls the senator, who has been repeatedly attacked by President Trump the past few days, a “traitorous piece of warmongering shit,” adding that she was “glad he’s dead.”
McCain, a naval aviator and Vietnam war hero who spent five years as a prisoner of war, was elected to the House of Representatives in 1982 and to the Senate in 1987, where he served until his death last year.
The message goes on to talk about McCain’s daughter Meghan, saying, “Hope your Mrs. Piggy looking daughter chokes to death on the next burger she stuffs down her fat neck,” about the TV host.

McCain, who died last year due to brain cancer, was the target of Trump before his death and has been a target of Trump since his death. On Sunday morning Trump tweeted that McCain was “last in his class” in a Twitter rant over the so-called Trump dossier and the senator’s involvement in spreading it.
Trump also took jabs at the dead senator during a joint press conference with Brazil’s president, saying that he was “never a fan of John McCain” and “never will be.”
Meghan McCain, a co-host on “The View,” responded to Trump’s comments Monday on the show saying that her “father was [Trump’s] kryptonite in life. He’s his kryptonite in death.”
“He spends his weekend obsessing over great men because he knows it, and I know it and all of you know it — he will never be a great man,” Meghan McCain said.
