Meghan McCain tore into President Trump on Monday after he renewed his criticism of her father, the late Sen. John McCain.
“Listen, 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,” McCain, a co-host of “The View,” said on the show.
“And so, my father was his kryptonite in life. He will be his kryptonite in death,” she said. “Your life is spent on your weekends not with your family, not with your friends, but obsessing — obsessing — over great men you could never live up to. That tells you everything you need to know about his pathetic life right now.”
The Arizona Republican died in August after battling brain cancer.
Trump has often attacked the senator for his vote against repealing Obamacare in 2017, and he revived that criticism over the weekend. He also targeted McCain’s links to the dossier compiled by former British spy Christopher Steele on Trump’s alleged connections to Russia and claimed McCain was “last in his class” at the U.S. Naval Academy.
“I genuinely feel bad for his family. I can’t imagine having a father that does this on the weekends,” Meghan McCain said of Trump’s tweeting.

Meghan McCain took a similar shot at Trump during her father’s funeral last year.
“We gather here to mourn the passing of American greatness, the real thing, not cheap rhetoric from men who will never come near the sacrifice he gave so willingly, nor the opportunistic appropriation of those who live lives of comfort and privilege while he suffered and served,” she said.
