Meghan McCain asks Amy Klobuchar to stop talking about John McCain
Days after Sen. Amy Klobuchar told voters in Des Moines, Iowa, that Sen. John McCain repeatedly compared President Donald Trump to a dictator during Trump’s 2017 inaugural address, Meghan McCain on Monday asked her to “leave my fathers [sic] legacy and memory out of presidential politics.”
— Meghan McCain May 27, 2019 On Saturday, Klobuchar, a 2020 Democratic presidential hopeful, told a large crowd at Jasper’s Winery that she sat next to McCain and Sen. Bernie Sanders during Trump’s inaugural address. Tim Hogan, communications director for Klobuchar’s presidential campaign, told HuffPost in an emailed statement that “Senator Klobuchar had a long-time friendship with Senator McCain, she has defended him against President Trump’s attacks in the past, and she has deep respect for his family.”
McCain and Trump had a contentious relationship for years, with McCain, the 2008 Republican nominee for president, refusing to support Trump in the 2016 campaign. As a candidate and later as president, Trump has attacked McCain repeatedly, continuing even after his death in August 2018 at age 81.
