McCains To Trump: 'We Don't Need More Bullying'
Meghan McCain and her mother, Cindy, were on The View on Wednesday saying the president's attacks on Senator McCain had gone too far.

PHOENIX, AZ – Meghan McCain is not happy with President Trump's continued attacks on her father, Sen. John McCain. On Wednesday, Meghan's mother, Cindy, joined her as a co-host on The View on Wednesday.
They had a simple message for the president: enough is enough.
"It's incredibly hurtful," Meghan McCain said.

"We don't need more bullying and I'm tired of it," Cindy added.
The tipping point was the president's appearance at the Conservative Political Action Committee's annual conference on Friday. Trump once again attacked McCain over his vote last year to preserve Obamacare and stirred people up to the point where they booed the senator.

"My own feeling is we need more compassion, we need more empathy, we need more togetherness," Cindy said.
Trump has made McCain a frequent target dating back to his presidential campaign when he mocked McCain's service in the Vietnam War – he had been shot down and held as a prisoner of war for more than five years while Trump had received a handful of deferments to stay out of the war.
McCain, who is battling brain cancer, has been home in Arizona since December recuperating from side effects of his treatment.
Meghan disclosed for the first time that last November, after she heard that the president had been mocking her dad's physical appearance and called the president out over the comments, she got a call from Trump and his wife.
"I had a really nice conversation with him and Melania and I really was under the impression that this sort of fight between our families, and between him and my father especially at this particular moment, would end," Meghan said.
Then, to see Trump again attacking her dad, Meghan said, "I feel I was incredibly naive" to believe anything would be different.
"It was incredibly hurtful."
Cindy said that while the president is attacking her husband, McCain has continued to make a difference in Washington, recently helping pass a defense budget and just Tuesday helping the Senate pass his bill to provide resources to battle human trafficking.
Meanwhile, she gave an update on her husband's health.
"He's doing okay," she said. "Chemo and radiation is a very tough customer. He's tough as a boot."
She added that he was back at their ranch watching the show.
