Cindy McCain posts stranger's hateful message about John McCain and their daughter

Source: CNN

Cindy McCain, the widow of Sen. John McCain, posted a hateful message she received from a stranger the same day President Donald Trump disparaged her late husband.

McCain posted a photo of the private message on Twitter and wrote, "I want to make sure all of you could see how kind and loving a stranger can be. I'm posting her note for her family and friends could see."

The message said the sender was "glad" the late Arizona Republican is dead, and called him a "traitorous piece of warmongering s***." The message also attacked her daughter, Meghan McCain, criticizing her appearance and saying she hopes she "chokes to death."

More than six months after John McCain's death, Trump revived his years-long feud with the senator over the weekend. Trump said on Tuesday, "I was never a fan of John McCain and I never will be."

T....p's words cannot change a thing re John McCain.
McCain's history is written.
Some say T....p wants to deflect attention away from his own messes.
Maybe so, but if so, this is a stupid way of doing it.
Doesn't make sense.

You are trying to make rational sense of his action. He's an egotistical little vindictive asshole and he resents that McCain received a heros send off that he wasn't invited to after he pissed on his ACA repeal vote. I don't think reason has anything to do with this.

Trump is a tiny, vindictive,littleman. He is so enviousit eats away his insides because he will never be what John McCain was.

I do wish the family would leave the Trump Party, as so many other decent people have done.

For all good Republicans it is long past standing up against the hate filled creep.

One of my beautiful daughters is heavy. She is beautiful. I love her and so does her husband.

I don't care what Meghan looks like. I will disagree with most of what she says based on her ideas, not her appearance.

I was not a fan of the ideas of the late Senator McCain. But I respect his service and his courage.

The current repiggies are selling us out to a foreign adversary. They disgrace Senator McCain, my father, and all the other people who have served honorably. We must defeat these people and get back to our values.

I am sorry if this post sounds a bit muddled. I am so angry with these people.

remember it is ok to pour scorn on him, point out all his many failings, call him names, and dump abuse and scorn on his living relatives.

Yes, not nice.

But who sets the standards anyway? Democrats must behave in a civilized manner at all times, while pro-Trump ferals can do this sort of thing to Cindy and Meghan and not expect any kickback?

Somehow, I don't think it works like that. After the payback and the Repubs are firmly placed back under control, then being nice may become popular again.

But Trump is loosing it. Still thinks Hillary is a threat, and McCain still bothers him somehow.

when Trumph passes it will be difficult to find anyone who is willing to pony up for the cost of inteering him.

Funny how cowards like "Tiffany Nicole" from Texas can dish out the abuse but can't take it.
