Meghan McCain Purposely Takes Cheap Shot At President While Honoring Father

Sen. McCain famously feuded with Trump, and many of his opponents have taken to mocking his "Make America Great Again" campaign slogan.

Meghan McCain also seemed to take a dig at Trump earlier in her remarks, when she said her father was truly great, and didn't just spew "cheap rhetoric" like others do.

"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. He was a great fire who burned bright," she told the crowd assembled at the National Cathedral on Sunday to pay their respects.

McCain struggled for much of her remarks to hold back tears as she spoke about her father, who was honored by the presence of several former presidents, including Barack Obama, who defeated McCain in 2008. She said her father's greatest role was as a father.
