On Monday's episode of "The View," Meghan McCain addressed her pointed tweet over the weekend aimed at President Donald Trump, in response to his attack on her father, the late Sen. John McCain.

The 34-year-old sat back as her co-hosts, Whoopi Goldberg, Abby Huntsman, Joy Behar and Sunny Hostin weighed in on Trump's weekend tweeting.

"I think that you handled yourself, this weekend, with so much class," Hostin said, praising Meghan and reading her reply to Trump's jab, which read, "Maybe spend (Saturday) with your family instead of on twitter obsessing over mine?"

"Well, I appreciate it," McCain said after Hostin's praise. "It's uncomfortable for everyone because it's obviously about my father, and I'm your co-host, and I really appreciate these wonderful words. Listen, he spends his weekend obsessing over great men because – he knows it, and I know it, and all of you know it – he will never be a great man.

"My father was his kryptonite in life; he’s his kryptonite in death," McCain said. "All of us have love and families, and when my father was alive up until adulthood, we would spend our time together cooking, hiking, fishing, really 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 to.' That tells you everything you needed to know about his pathetic life right now.

"I genuinely feel bad for his family," she added. "I can't imagine having a father who does this on the weekends."

Saturday Trump proved he has still not forgiven McCain – who died on Aug. 25, 2018 – for voting against the Republican effort to repeal the Affordable Care Act in 2017.

Trump quoted Ken Starr, the independent counsel who investigated former President Bill Clinton, and slammed McCain in a tweet Saturday, referencing reports that the senator's office supplied the Trump-Russia dossier to BuzzFeed:

“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!”

It didn’t take Meghan McCain long to respond. She soon 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?”

On Sunday, Trump doubled down on his criticism, calling McCain "last in his class" at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, and retweeting Trump supporter Lori Hendry's tweet that read, "WRONG Meghan! Millions of Americans truly LOVE President Trump, not McCain. I’m one!"

These are just the latest salvos in an ongoing war of words between Trump and the McCains. The senator often sparred with Trump, who, during his campaign for the presidency, famously said of McCain, a Vietnam War POW, “He’s a war hero because he was captured. I like people that weren’t captured.”

In February, while appearing on “The Late Show,” Meghan McCain told host Stephen Colbert she didn’t know Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner would attend her father’s funeral, and wished that they hadn’t.

“It made me uncomfortable,” she said. “And I hope I made them uncomfortable, honestly.”

Also in February, Meghan tweeted about Trump before his State of the Union address:

“The president’s obsession with my father 6 months after his death is pathetic and telling — even at a time when he should be focusing on his message to the American public and the state of our union — the greatness of my father’s life and legacy haunts you.”
