Meghan McCain gave her two cents after Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) claimed that former President Donald Trump isn’t a “vengeful guy” on Sunday.
“Every member of the McCain family can attest first hand that this is a bold faced lie,” wrote the daughter of the late Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), a frequent target of the former president’s attacks both during and after his life.
Vance, in an appearance on Fox News, cooked up his description of Trump after former Sen. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) dismissed portrayals of the former president being bent on revenge and claimed that the Republican nominee “forgives people for things they’ve said and done in the past.”
Vance, who once called himself a “never-Trump guy” and referred to Trump as “America’s Hitler,” acknowledged that he’s previously been critical of the former president.
“And he has looked at me as somebody who can contribute meaningfully to the future of the country so he asked me to be his running mate. This is not a vengeful guy,” said Vance of Trump, who declared that “revenge can be justified” last month.
Meghan McCain’s post arrives just days after she bashed Vance for his controversial “childless cat ladies” remarks.
The former co-host of “The View” said the comments have caused “real pain” and referred to them as “just innately unchristian.”
“I have been trying to warn every conservative man I know – these JD comments are activating women across all sides, including my most conservative Trump supporting friends,” she wrote on X.
Vance told SiriusXM’s Megyn Kelly on Friday that his comments were “sarcastic” in nature before adding that the substance of what he said was “true.”
