Meghan McCain fires back after President Trump bashes John McCain on TwitterPresident Trump's tweets suggest he hasn't forgiven McCain for voting against repeal of the Affordable Care Act. Meghan McCain is having none of it. This is stupid Democrats and Independents need to let their Senators know we want them to override Trumps veto. Allowing Trump to spit on Congress and the Constitution is a bridge to far. McCain assisted ISIS and colluded with foreign powers to tamper with the results of a US election and to launch the Russian collusion wild goose chase because he hated Trump that much. That evil old man ranks only behind HRC and GWB in terms of innocents murdered by his efforts.
