Trump, on the other hand, made the grief she felt “a living hell,” she said.
“I keep telling everyone I promise you you will know who I’m voting for,” the co-host of ABC’s “The View” said. “But it really shouldn’t take a rocket scientist to know there’s one man who has made pain in my life a living hell and another man who has literally shepherded me through the grief process. This really shouldn’t be rocket science for people.”
McCain is a lifelong Republican, but has been sharply critical of Trump for years. The president also feuded openly with John McCain during his life. During his 2016 presidential bid, Trump criticized John McCain, who spent years as a prisoner of war in Vietnam in the late 1960s and early 1970s, saying that the former senator was “not a war hero” and that he prefers “people who weren’t captured.”
The rift between Trump and John McCain deepened after the real estate mogul took office. In 2017, McCain cast the deciding vote in the Senate against a health care measure backed by the White House that would have effectively done away with the Affordable Care Act (ACA), former President Obama’s signature legislative achievement.
Meghan McCain said that Biden had been “so integral in my life, especially after my dad got sick.” The Trumps, meanwhile, are “always making my mom cry,” she added.
“I just think politics is personal,” she said, adding that the country needs a president “who can tamp down fear and anger instead of making it worse.”
