Meghan McCain's threat to Dems backfires as her dad's biographer issues warning of his own.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! NEPO BRAT!!!! Her own father couldn't stand her, lmao!!!

Meghan McCain earlier this week said that she wants Democratic candidates to stop invoking her late father’s memory on the campaign trail — and fired warning shots on social media that there could be more to come.

“Now, I know democrats want to reinvent history and turn my Dad into any illusion you guys need him to be depending on the political moment you need to bastardize his memory for…But please don’t make me start sharing what I remember him ACTUALLY saying about Kamala Harris….” McCain wrote Friday on social media.

“And consider this my final warning shot, I will start spilling tea,” added Meghan McCain, the daughter of Republican Arizona Sen. John McCain, who died of brain cancer in 2018.

That threat was turned on its head over the weekend.
Democratic strategist Cliff Schecter, who recently published old comments by J.D. Vance saying he wanted Hillary Clinton to beat Trump in 2016, said he had some tea of his own to spill about her.

"I wrote a book about your dad in '08, as I'm sure you know, Meghan. So go ahead and do it, nepo," said Schecter on Sunday. "Then I'll share what your father's advisors [and] others close to him told me he really thought about you."

Gratuitously so.

I am absolutely not a fan of this woman, but I don't like to see that kind of nastiness aimed at anyone.

Or almost anyone, with a couple of exceptions. I'll leave you to fill in the blanks.

I was bullied from Kindergarten through the middle of HS - and it only stopped when I went on the attack. I have zero problem with the "meanness" of the response. When I fought back against one of the people bullying me, I was "mean" but it slowed down ALL of them. I got a small amount of peace at school almost for the first time in my life (there were a few lulls when I changed schools). The bullying never fully went away, but it definitely diminished exponentially. McCain should throw stones given she lives in a glass house!

I dislike Meghan McCain. I don't dislike her because she is where she is because of her father. I dislike her because she is a loud, shallow and clueless voice with imagined authority.

While I don't think it is appropriate to extrapolate on things her father said about her to others, especially in a public forum, another part of me says fuck Meghan McCain; I'm slightly unwilling to extend compassion to someone so frequently unwilling to do so themself.

Not sure what she is objecting to?

Democrats praising McCain for standing up to one of his own supporters?
Democrats praising McCain for voting no against Trump's attempted repeal of ACA?

McCain was no fan of ACA.
He voted against the repeal because there was no alternative in sight.
Still isn't: just 'a concept of a plan'

Meghan has repeatedly trashed Biden, for example, and here her mother had been appointed by Biden in a UN position from 2021 to 2023 (US Ambassador to the United Nations Agencies for Food and Agriculture, to be exact). This daughter of hers is despicable to have trashed him.

The only reason she is even talked about is because of her dad. It's interesting to know that he may have loved her, but probably did not like her very much.
