With all due respect to the late Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), her father will always be remembered for his service to the United States both militarily with the U.S. Navy in Vietnam and as a senator for over three decades.
But for his daughter, Biden endorser Meghan McCain desperately cried for attention in a Twitter feud with Arizona gubernatorial hopeful Kari Lake disguised as a defense of his honor, she revealed just how far establishment Republicans have shifted away from their base, labeling the candidate “psycho” and a “qanon b*tch.”
She ain’t done, so after randomly calling Kari a “bi*ch” for no reason, McCain continued her attacks by calling both of them, “hags.”
She has endeavored to piggyback off of the success of Lake, who leads her primary challengers while playing the victim for herself and her deceased father. “This is psycho, unhealthy, and unhinged,” McCain captioned a video of Lake speaking ill of her. “If I ever go missing, please check this woman’s basement first please.”
Lake always calls out the RINO McCain establishment in Arizona. Because of this, Meghan McCain, who can’t get over herself, hates her.
Of course, the Fake News Media outlet in Arizona is on the rescue, they defended Meghan McCain, claiming that this all stemmed from a Wendy Rogers tweet and attacking Kari Lake.
We all know that they are both leading in their Primary races, and the dishonest Fake News Media will do anything to stop them.
Here’s what ‘The Arizona Republic’ reported:
In her combative, if so far brief, political career Kari Lake, the former TV news anchor who is now a Republican candidate for Arizona governor, has copied the Donald Trump playbook, right down to her use of Twitter as a kind of social media battering ram. You get the idea, she would tweet anything to get attention, which she has. And to get elected, she might.
Enter Meghan McCain.
McCain is no stranger to, ahem, colorful, outspoken takes on Twitter herself. And Wednesday she went after Lake with a vengeance, calling her an “absolute sideshow freak” and a lunatic among other things in a series of tweets.
Why did McCain go after Lake?
This all started, seemingly, when Wendy Rogers — an Arizona state senator who has been censured by her colleagues after making violent and discriminatory comments, just to provide a little context here — tweeted that Lake should start using the term “Maverick.” This, of course, was the nickname often applied to the late U.S. Sen. John McCain, Meghan McCain’s father.
No stranger to Twitter trolling, Rogers tagged McCain. Of course, she did.
Lake turned the tweet into a fundraising opportunity.
Lake then tweeted screenshots of McCain’s “hags” tweet and another asking why, if Lake hates John McCain so much, “did the (expletive) steal my dads nickname?”
Lake, not surprisingly, turned it all into a fundraising opportunity, with the usual bombast and hyperbole her campaign has employed throughout. She called McCain out for name-calling, then said, “All the while, a @HillaryClinton Super PAC launches MILLIONS against @KariLake. Make sense yet? The Establishment on BOTH SIDES is terrified.”

Our friends from The Gateway Pundit explained it further:
This all truly started when an unhinged Meghan McCain called Kari Lake a “b*tch” and accused Kari of stealing her father’s infamous nickname, “Maverick.” Kari was actually hosting an event at a venue called “The Maverick.”
The Gateway Pundit reported that Meghan McCain called Kari a b*tch on Wednesday, then deleted the embarrassing tweet.
On Thursday, Trump-Endorsed Arizona State Senator Wendy Rogers trolled McCain in response to her random attack on Kari Lake. Lake responded to Rogers’ tweet, saying, “I’d hate to hurt Meg’s feelings. Someone called me ‘MAGA QUEEN.’”
I’d hate to hurt Meg’s feelings. Someone called me “MAGA QUEEN”
While I love that, it probably belongs to Melania!

Meghan replied with another nasty insult, calling them both “hags.” Kari Lake commented, wrecking McCain by posting the link to buy her failed book on Amazon.
First you call me a b**ch, now you call me a hag? You’re really doing wonders for your family’s image, Meg.
Poor Meg, too terribly sad because her book launch was such a fail: Boost her broken ego by being one of the very few to buy it: Bad Republican: https://t.co/1zbQqF4eyW

After losing it again and finally writing, “I have HAD IT,” Meghan McCain continued her rage on Kari Lake with more wild insults.
I will call you anything you want – keep talking about my dead father, lunatic.
I have HAD IT.
This is what Arizona wants in a governor? Someone fighting with a former beloved senators family members on social media for clicks? The state has real problems. https://t.co/XYSGHoW3y5

Days later, on Friday, Lake was still on McCain’s mind.
McCain retweeted a clip of Lake saying, “this is psycho, unhealthy and unhinged,” and expressed fear that Kari would kidnap her. What!?
This is psycho, unhealthy and unhinged.
If I ever go missing, please check this woman’s basement first please. https://t.co/M9fwCsP1Zs

Meghan McCain started all of this by calling Kari Lake a “b*tch” for no reason.
The biased Fake News Media never misses an opportunity to smear America First Republicans.
