Bridget McCain, the youngest child of late Sen. John McCain has publicly spoken out against President Donald Trump’s repeated attacks on her father for the first time.
The 27-year-old has typically kept herself out of the public eye, both before and after her father died last August, but she tweeted two messages Thursday in which she tagged the President.
“Everyone doesn’t have to agree with my dad or like him, but I do ask you to be decent and respectful,” she wrote.
Reminding the President that he was not invited to McCain’s funeral, she said, “Unfortunately, you could not be counted on to be courteous, as you are a child in the most important role the world knows.”
On Tuesday, the President told reporters in the Oval Office, “I was never a fan of John McCain and I never will be.” The attacks continued Wednesday when the President visited an Ohio tank factory and criticized the McCain family’s reaction to the senator’s funeral. “I gave him the kind of funeral that he wanted, which as president, I had to approve,” he said. “I didn’t get a thank you, but that’s OK.”
The President also claimed that McCain “didn’t get the job done” in his advocacy for war veterans. Fact-checkers disputed Trump’s assertion about McCain’s record on veterans.
