Meghan McCain Destroys Trump After He Tried to Come for John McCain on Twitter Yet Again

It's been years since his death, but outgoing President Donald Trump continues to slam the late Republican Senator from Arizona, John McCain.

McCain famously cast the deciding vote to preserve the Affordable Care Act—the magnum opus of McCain's former opponent, President Barack Obama. The move infuriated Trump and turned their already tense relationship into open abhorrence.


Trump repeatedly dismissed McCain's status as a war hero because he was "captured" and spent years as a prisoner of war. Trump initially refused to lower White House flags to half staff after McCain's death and mused that McCain could be burning in hell.

Trump's constant disparagements toward McCain were enough to drive the Senator's widow—Cindy McCain—to endorse President-elect Joe Biden ahead of the 2020 election, even though Biden was on the ticket that defeated her husband in the 2008 presidential campaign.

Never one to surrender a grudge, the President tweeted attacks on McCain as recently as Thursday, when he shared an article from the far-right media outlet Breitbart about texts from former FBI agent Peter Strzok, whom Trump has accused of working to undermine his election.

The article alleges that McCain gave journalist Carl Bernstein the Christopher Steele dossier on Russian meddling.

Trump leapt to tweet the piece and deride McCain in the process.

Trump wrote:

"Check out last in his class John McCain, one of the most overrated people in D.C."

McCain was not "last in his class" when he graduated from the Naval Academy in 1958, but that hasn't stopped Trump from repeating the lie as fact.

McCain's eldest daughter Meghan McCain, a staunch conservative, rebuked Trump in no uncertain terms.

In addition to accusing Trump of disgracing the office of the presidency, Meghan McCain reminded Trump that he lost the state of Arizona to Biden in the 2020 election—the first time the state went blue since 1996.

Some have speculated that Trump's obsession with slamming Senator McCain contributed to his loss in the late Senator's beloved home state—a loss that Trump and his allies have baselessly contested.

People applauded Meghan McCain's response.






Others echoed her defense of her father.



Trump's final day in office is on January 20th.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
