Meghan McCain knocks CPAC head over boos for father


BY JOSH DELK - 02/24/18 12:22 PM EST

Meghan McCain hit back at the head of the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) on Saturday for condoning booing directed at her father Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) at the conservative confab this weekend.

Matt Schlapp, the chairman of the American Conservative Union (ACU) that hosts the annual conservative gathering, responded to criticism over the boos on Twitter, saying that the senator's vote last year torpedoing a repeal of ObamaCare was "worth a boo."

Meghan McCain fired back, noting her father's continued treatment for brain cancer since his diagnosis last year.






President Trump sparked boos directed at McCain during his address to CPAC on Friday, where he blasted the GOP senator's vote against scrapping ObamaCare last year.

McCain's vote in July was one of three key votes against a pared-down repeal bill that ultimately helped doom Republican efforts to repeal and replace the law.

Well, I'll be jiggered! I didn't think Meghan had any standards at all, but apparently she does have limits. Of a sort.

So don't be surprised when they act like assholes. If you weren't such an asshole yourself, you would leave them.

Why John McCain Killed Obamacare Repeal—Again

snip//

John McCain’s disdain for Donald Trump was stronger than his love of Lindsey Graham. That’s at least one sensible conclusion after the Arizona senator today came out against the Graham-Cassidy bill, the third serious attempt by Republicans this year to replace the Affordable Care Act with a new system. It’s also likely the last attempt for this Congress. The budget vehicle that Republicans planned to use to pass the bill—in order to circumvent a Senate filibuster—will expire on September 30th. Their long-standing plan has been to use the next budget vehicle to pass tax reform. Senator Rand Paul was already firmly against Graham-Cassidy, and Susan Collins said she was leaning toward a no vote, leaving the G.O.P., which has fifty-two senators, with room for just one more defection if it relied on Mike Pence to break a tie. Unlike last time, when McCain delivered the blow to Trump with a dramatic thumbs-down on the Senate floor, this time he sent out a press release.
