John McCain had some simple advice for his daughter when it came to giving his eulogy: Give ’em hell.
Meghan McCain recently recalled the unusual request on the History Channel’s It Was Said podcast. Meghan spoke with her father about his eulogy between the time he was diagnosed with brain cancer in 2017 and his death in 2018. She was surprised to get the advice. Eulogies are usually somber and emotional, but Meghan’s dad knew she could bring more than that.
Meghan gave the eulogy at the Washington National Cathedral on September 1, 2018. She made sure to get in some jabs at President Donald Trump. He was not invited to attend the service by the McCain family. He’s had an ongoing history of saying the worst about Senator McCain.
The details of the president’s scathing remarks about the senator recently came to light again. A recent report by The Atlantic revealed a number of unflattering comments about the military. It also shed light on the president’s baffling behavior around Senator McCain’s funeral. Although the White House has denied the authenticity of these comments, it’s resulted in another painful moment for the McCains.
