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 — Meghan McCain (@MeghanMcCain) March 16, 2019

Here is what will never change. John McCain will always be a better man than you in every way we measure a man’s character. You’ll never beat him. Now fuck off, you miserable excuse for a human being. — Mark Salter (@MarkSalter55) March 16, 2019

WINDOW INTO SOUL Trump often praises Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un because they help him and flatter him…. …. but he attacks a deceased, patriot for putting loyalty to America head of loyalty to Trump. https://t.co/3BsnZOcg9B — Jesse Ferguson (@JesseFFerguson) March 16, 2019

Wow, what an asshole. Ladies and gentlemen, our president… — Milquetoast (@BlueRobotDesign) March 16, 2019

Been covering Trump for three years now. Will never quite understand how the GOP tolerates his attacks on McCain, Bushes and Romney. The GOP just shrugs its shoulders. — Jim Acosta (@Acosta) March 16, 2019

You’re completely obsessed with McCain because you’ll never be half the man he was. Let that insecurity go. You’re not fit to shine John McCain’s shoes. — Angry Staffer (@AngrierWHStaff) March 16, 2019

Senator McCain was a great man. You Sir are not fit to criticize him. — Michael M Smith (@MichaelMSmith9) March 16, 2019

Speaking ill of the dead. I'd say I'm surprised but, well, how can you be at this point? https://t.co/AtVSBeAdDa — Chris Cillizza (@CillizzaCNN) March 16, 2019

Leave the honourable John McCain out of this. He served his country in many ways, including military service. @MeghanMcCain — Christine Hartig (@CIHartig) March 16, 2019

Again attacking John McCain. It is Trump who is a stain on this country, and humanity. https://t.co/sg3KgKNxzP — Michelangelo Signorile (@MSignorile) March 16, 2019

Yet again, Trump assails McCain, a veteran who endured unspeakable torment: "He had far worse 'stains'…"

McCain didn't defeat repeal of Obamacare on his own. Sens. Murkowski & Collins voted no as well. If Trump had proposed a workable replacement, all 3 would have voted yes. https://t.co/K5fkqGOsUQ — Jackie Calmes (@jackiekcalmes) March 16, 2019

I think Steele deserves a Knighthood and Medal of Freedom for the Dossier. It may have gotten a few things wrong but generally it’s been spot on. And, he did his best to alert the US of the dangers of the lecherous racketeer. This was an heroic act worthy of the highest honors. — Fabian (@biancardi1) March 16, 2019

Even after McCain's death, President Trump clearly not willing to forgive the late Senator's 'no' vote on healthcare. https://t.co/ZPG59Gztr1 — Vivian Salama (@vmsalama) March 16, 2019

John McCain received a Silver Star, two Purple Hearts, a Distinguished Flying Cross, three Bronze Stars, and two Legion of Merit medals after his time in Vietnam. Donald Trump received four draft deferments and alleged bone spurs. https://t.co/SD246QJSwa — Morten Øverbye (@morten) March 16, 2019

The dossier that oddly keeps proving to be true, or do mean another one ??? — DavidC ☕️ (@motheradamplay) March 16, 2019

My guess is that the Dossier is 95% accurate. — Ed Krassenstein (@EdKrassen) March 16, 2019

Just a reminder that the President is the employee of the American people and this is what he's doing on the clock. https://t.co/B6UEYfqu2R — Kiki Andersen (@kellyamedia) March 16, 2019

What is wrong with you? Why do you obsess over this dossier so much if it’s not real? — William LeGate (@williamlegate) March 16, 2019

I'm sure that Meghan McCain will stand up against Trump — right? https://t.co/UB9x6t28rq — Eric Kleefeld (@EricKleefeld) March 16, 2019

Your not fit to wash John McCain’s socks. The more you attack him the more you look like a disgraceful clown. You look even worse now that he’s died. — Dan B (@db491865) March 16, 2019

If you’re accusing someone of “stains” it means the pee tape is real — Clue Heywood (@ClueHeywood) March 16, 2019

SHAME on you. Are you really attacking a dead man? A war hero, patriot and decades-long servant to his country? #JohnMcCain was a real man. A brave man. Not a COWARDLY twitter bully like you. You are just a pathetic manbaby… #Trump — Andy Ostroy (@AndyOstroy) March 16, 2019
