   Meghan McCain on Friday threatened to share her late father’s honest   
   thoughts about Kamala Harris — a day after the vice president invoked   
   the memory of John McCain at an Arizona campaign rally.   
      
   “The View” co-host fumed on X as she claimed that Democrats have   
   “bastardized” her father’s memory for their own political aims.   
      
   “Now, I know democrats want to reinvent history and turn my Dad into   
   any illusion you guys need him to be depending on the political moment   
   you need to bastardize his memory for,” the 39-year-old pundit wrote on   
   X, “But please don’t make me start sharing what I remember him ACTUALLY   
   saying about Kamala Harris…”   
      
   “And consider this my final warning, I will start spilling tea,” she   
   added.   
      
   McCain issued the threat after Harris shared an anecdote of an   
   interaction she had with the late Arizona senator in 2018, prior to his   
   death from a brain tumor.   
      
   “And I passed by John McCain,” Harris intoned at a campaign rally in   
   Scottsdale, Ariz., “And he looks at me and he says, ‘Kid, come over   
   here. You’re going to make a great senator.’ True story. True story.   
   True story.”   
      
   Harris went on, “That was John McCain. That was John McCain. I was   
   talking about him last night at a rally, right? John McCain, who – you   
   know, we didn’t agree on everything, but, man, I mean, what about an   
   incredible American hero? Again, strength – strength – right? We know   
   what the former president said about John McCain – I’m not going to   
   repeat it here – but strength.”   
      
   Harris was referring to when then-presidential candidate Donald Trump   
   said in 2015 that John McCain was “only a war hero because he got   
   captured, I like people that weren’t captured.”   
      
   The controversial statement – a paraphrase of a Chris Rock joke from   
   his 2008 special “Chris Rock: Kill the Messenger” – drew ire from both   
   sides of the political aisle and solidified the legendary senator and   
   Trump as political enemies.   
      
   John McCain would famously cast the deciding “no” vote on President   
   Trump’s attempted Obamacare repeal.   
      
   The late senator’s daughter is no friend of Trump, though “spilling   
   tea” on Harris could deflate the efforts of Democrats to court   
   undecided and independent voters by touting bipartisan support amongst   
   institutional politicians.   
      
   The Harris campaign and their supporters have also touted the support   
   of former Vice President and arch-conservative Dick Cheney.
