President Donald Trump went after late Sen. John McCain again and this time he included his entire family.
The president was speaking in lima, Ohio at an event to pressure General motors to reopen a factory that it closed.
“John McCain received the fake and phony dossier. Did you hear about the dossier? It was paid for by Crooked Hillary Clinton, right?” he said.
“And John McCain got it. He got it. And what did he do? He didn’t call me. He turned it over to the FBI hoping to put me in jeopardy. And that’s not the nicest thing to do,” President Trump said.
“We’re in a war in the Middle East that McCain pushed so hard. He was calling Bush, President Bush, all the time: “Get into the Middle East! Get into the Middle East!” he said.
“What do we have? It’s worse than it was in 19 years ago. I call them the endless wars when we started,” he said.
“So John McCain left it. I endorsed him at his request. And I gave him the kind of funeral that he wanted. Which as president I had to approve,” he said.
“I don’t care about this. I didn’t get thank you. That’s okay. We sent him on the way. I wasn’t a fan of John McCain,” President Trump said.
Do you agree with President Donald Trump?
“So now what we can say is now we’re all set. I don’t think I have to answer that question. But the press keep asking what do you think of John McCain, what do you think — not my kind of guy. Some people like him and I think that’s great,” he said.
The speech came after days of President trump attacking Sen. McCain and being ht back by his daughter Meghan McCain.
On Monday’s edition of “The View” Meghan McCain flipped out over President Trumps remarks about her father this weekend.
First President Trump tweeted the following:
Report: Christopher Steele backed up his Democrat & Crooked Hillary paid for Fake & Unverified Dossier with information he got from “send in watchers” of low ratings CNN. This is the info that got us the Witch Hunt!

So it was indeed (just proven in court papers) “last in his class” (Annapolis) John McCain that sent the Fake Dossier to the FBI and Media hoping to have it printed BEFORE the Election. He & the Dems, working together, failed (as usual). Even the Fake News refused this garbage!

And…
Spreading the fake and totally discredited Dossier “is unfortunately a very dark stain against John McCain.” Ken Starr, Former Independent Counsel. He had far worse “stains” than this, including thumbs down on repeal and replace after years of campaigning to repeal and replace!

This of course set off Meghan McCain who just said “He spends his weekend obsessing over wonderful great men because he knows it and I know it, he will never be a great man. My father was his kryptonite in life and in death…And I just thought 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. That tells you everything you needed to know about his pathetic life.”
She also tweeted:
No one will ever love you the way they loved my father…. I wish I had been given more Saturday’s with him. Maybe spend yours with your family instead of on twitter obsessing over mine? https://t.co/q7ezwmHiQ4

Watch as Meghan McCain flips out over President Trumps remarks about her dad over the weekend:
Partial transcript
HOSTIN: “I really appreciated that because you and I are very similar in the sense that I know people think we’re different but we’re not that different because if you come for one of mine, you’re dead to me and I’m coming after you, but I try to handle things with class and dignity. And the way this president is acting is so pathetic and beneath the dignity of this office that it was so offensive to me what he said about your father.”
BEHAR: “Read what Meghan said.”
HOSTIN: “You responded and said, no one will ever love you the way they loved my father. I wish I had been given more Saturdays with him. Maybe spend yours with your family instead of on Twitter obsessing over mine. And I thought —“
MCCAIN: “Thank you, Sunny.”
HOSTIN: “— that’s how you do this.”
BEHAR: “Except nobody in his family wants to spend time with him. That’s the only problem.”
MCCAIN: “I appreciate it. It’s uncomfortable for everyone because it’s obviously about my father and I’m your co-host and I appreciate these wonderful words. He spends his weekend obsessing over wonderful great men because he knows it and I know it, he will never be a great man. My father was his kryptonite in life and in death. On a personal note I agree with you, all of us have love and families and when my father was alive until adulthood we would spend our time fishing, cooking, celebrating life and I think it’s because he almost died. And I just thought 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. That tells you everything you needed to know about his pathetic life.”
