Trump tweeted over the weekend that the senator had stains on his congressional record for defying him and opposing Republican efforts to repeal the Affordable Care Act and strip health care from millions of people. McCains daughter Meghan, a co-host on The View, tweeted a searing response to the president, writing on Saturday that no one would ever love [Trump] the way they loved her father.
On Mondays The View, McCain responded to Trump once again, calling him pathetic.
Your life is spent on weekends not with your family, not with your friends, but obsessing obsessing over great men you could never live up to, she said. That tells you all you have to know about his pathetic life right there.
McCain added that Trump will never be a great man.
I genuinely feel bad for his family. I cant imagine having a father who does this over the weekends, she said.
