Meghan McCain went on the attack after President Trump tweeted Tuesday about honoring Americans who have been captured or imprisoned.
“On National Former Prisoner of War Recognition Day, we honor the Americans captured and imprisoned by foreign powers while carrying out their duties to defend this great Nation,” Trump’s statement said.
McCain responded: “No one believes you care about prisoners of war and ‘people who get captured’.” [sic]

During the 2016 presidential campaign, Trump took his feud with McCain’s late father Sen. John McCain to a new level when he said, “I like people who weren’t captured.”
The former Navy pilot spent more than five years in a North Vietnamese prison where he was tortured during the war.
Cindy McCain said in November she doesn’t know if she will ever be able to forgive Trump for saying her husband was not a war hero.
“I thought it was inappropriate and wrong,” she told the BBC. “I think that was a wrong thing to say. I don’t know if I’ll ever get over it, to be honest.”
