Meghan McCain sat stone faced on the View after being reminded what tRump said about her dad... [View all]

The show paid tribute to the Navy and each host mentioned their individual military family connections. Joy Behar pointed out John McCain's service and the fact that he was captured and yet chose to stay behind with his men. Joy stated "And that is the same John McCain that Donald Trump made fun of and said 'I prefer heroes who were not captured.' Imagine that. And he still won the election. That was amazing to me. That he could still win an election after he said that about your father. It's unbelievable, isn't it?"

Meghan McCain's response: a blank stare.

The other hosts are waiting. Paula Faris chimes in.

Then McCain mumbles a quiet, uncomfortable "I'm not disagreeing with you. Happy Birthday Navy..."

Then the other hosts chimed in with Happy Birthday.

I suspect McCain is in over her head with this show and time will tell.
