Lindsay Graham invited Jarvanka. [View all]

Ugh, what a duplicitous POS.

Why were Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner at John McCain’s memorial service?

As the memorial service for Senator John McCain got underway Saturday, some viewers couldn’t help but express disbelief and anger that Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner were spotted among the mourners at Washington National Cathedral — after President Donald Trump was reportedly asked not to attend.

Had they been invited? Sort of, it appears, and not directly by the McCain family.

New York Times White House correspondent Katie Rogers tweeted that GOP Senator Lindsey Graham had asked Ivanka Trump, a White House senior advisor, to attend when they met on Capitol Hill earlier this week and the first daughter shared her condolences. A White House official told Rogers that Graham thought it would be “a nice gesture” for her and her husband, also a White House senior advisor, to attend.

The official said that the South Carolina senator cleared it with McCain’s wife, Cindy McCain, first.
