Trump Attacks McCain Over Yemen Raid, McCain’s Daughter Defends Father

It was on Thursday morning when President Donald Trump posted something on his Twitter account criticizing John McCain over the recent Yemen raid. The Arizona senator received criticisms over the huge success of the operation despite the death of one of the Navy Seal. On the contrary, McCain's daughter, Meghan, defended her father.

It has been known that McCain is the chairman of the Armed Services Committee and was briefed on January strike after its competition. Apparently, the White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer also had sharp words for anyone who was critical. It was his statement when asked about McCain's comments during the briefing with reporters Wednesday afternoon.

Further, McCain, who spent more than five years as a prisoner of war during the Vietnam War, immediately responded to Spicer's comments by pointing out his own story as an example of a failed mission. However, he told NBC that it didn't diminish the heroics of the Americans who were into the fight, USA Today reported.

Despite the president's attack on McCain, Meghan, her daughter defended him. As per statement, Meghan said that Trump has never served. She added that she has been disagreeing over politics every single day and questioned how can a president dared to question the honor of his father and his service, The Hill reported.

McCain's daughter was straight-forward over her words as she posted it on her Twitter account. "My father can't bend one of his knees or lift one of his arms above his head. I am done with this today. Done", Meghan wrote on tweets.

However, despite criticisms, Senator McCain continues to execute his oversight duties as Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee and to give more support to its brave men and women who are serving the nation in uniform. It was the exact statement that McCain spokeswoman, Julie Tarallo has told the press in response to Trump's attack.
