Meghan McCain clearly loves her father with all her heart.<\/p>\n

Thus, she is taking a deserved hard line against the man who has disparaged, disrespected and disregarded her war-hero dad.<\/p>\n

U.S. Sen. John McCain is battling brain cancer. He has faced down the toughest foes imaginable, given his more than five years as a prisoner of war in North Vietnam.<\/p>\n

So, when Donald John Trump insults Sen. McCain — and doesn’t ever rebuke a White House staffer who did so as well — one can expect the senator’s daughter to take it personally.<\/p>\n

Meghan McCain has become a celebrity in her own right, as a co-host of “The View.” She said this recently about the president, according to Time.com: \u201c[Trump\u2019s] comments are never going to be OK with me, especially at this moment in my life. I\u2019m never going to forgive it,\u201d the co-host of ABC\u2019s The View said on stage. \u201cI\u2019m never going to move on from it.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Why should she?<\/p>\n

Trump once disparaged McCain’s Vietnam War service by saying he is a hero “only because he was captured.” Then he has continued to harp on the senator’s thumbs-down gesture that doomed Republican efforts to repeal the Affordable Care Act.<\/p>\n

And then we had the gem fly out of the mouth of former White House aide Kelly Sadler after McCain urged his Senate colleagues to reject Gina Haspel as the CIA director, given her role in torturing enemy combatants. “It doesn’t matter” what McCain said, Sadler muttered. “He’s dying anyway.”<\/p>\n

Has the president called Sadler out? No. He got angry because her comments were leaked.<\/p>\n

Meghan McCain said this, too: \u201cIf anyone wants to say anything to me in any way, they have to do it publicly,\u201d she said. \u201cI don\u2019t take private phone calls from the Trump Administration anymore.<\/em><\/p>\n

As for Sadler’s crack, Meghan McCain said this: \u201cKelly \u2026 it is not how you die. It is how you live.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

John McCain has lived a life of public service that is totally foreign to the president of the United States. I, too, admire Sen. McCain’s sacrifice in defense of our nation.<\/p>\n

As for his daughter’s declaration that she cannot “forgive” the way the president has treated her father, I am in her corner.<\/p>\n\n
