Hero Who Killed Bin Laden Just Unloaded On Meghan McCain – Will Haunt Her For Life
Robert J. O'Neill is a former United States Navy sailor.
A former U.S. Navy SEAL and special warfare operator, O'Neill was the one who fired
the headshots that killed Osama bin Laden during the raid on his Abbottabad compound
on May 2, 2011.
He's also a true hero that never claimed to be a victim or used it for political gain.
O'Neill didn't have much to say about John McCain's funeral as far as I know.
But the one tweet I did see was epic and it had to do with Meghan McCain and the way she
took cheap political shots at President Trump during her father's funeral.
O'Neill tweeted, "If my daughter uses my funeral to take petty political jabs, I'm
definitely going to haunt her."
The answering tweets were epic and I could not agree more with his sentiment here.
Shame on Meghan McCain and the others who took a time of remembering and grieving for
John McCain and turned it instead into a political hate-fest.
This should haunt her the rest of her life.
The New York Post mocked Meghan McCain as "The Meg" on its Sunday cover after she
behaved in such a disrespectful and disgraceful fashion.
If you don't get what they are alluding to, "The Meg" is a reference to a plus-sized
shark in the late-summer hit movie "The Meg," starring Jason Staham.
It was not meant to be subtle but it is viciously clever.
The New York Post and former Navy SEAL Robert J. O'Neill were not alone either in the
brewing backlash against McCain and others who decided to go political during the funeral
service for Sen. John McCain (R-AZ).
It turned into some kind of partisan resist rally Saturday when speakers such as Barack
Obama and George W. Bush decided to take jabs at President Trump, who was not invited to
the funeral.
Americans noted that John McCain's 2008 running mate, Sarah Palin, was also not invited.
But at the invitation of Senator Lindsey Graham, Ivanka and her husband Jared did attend and
sat there as their father and family were humiliated over and over again.
The McCains are notorious for holding a grudge and for their unbounded anger.
When other legendary military figures such as O'Neill are disgusted like this, you
know you've gone way too far.
True heroes in my book don't use their service and sacrifice to climb political ladders for
power and wealth.
Meghan described the death of her father as the passing of "American greatness.
The real thing, not cheap rhetoric from men who will never come near the sacrifice he
gave so willingly, nor the opportunistic appropriation of those who lived lives of comfort and privilege
while he suffered and served."
Meghan added, "The America of John McCain has no need to be made great again because
America was always great."
President Trump's response to Meghan was only four words… but those words shamed
her once again.
He said, "MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!"
Barack Obama, who has probably never been subtle in his life, ripped into those he said
traffic in "bombast and insult and phony controversies and manufactured outrage."
"John called on us to be bigger than that.
He called on us to be better than that," he added.
Isn't it odd how adoring the left is of John McCain now that he's gone?
One of the things that McCain did to strike back at President Trump was to violate his
longstanding and oft-repeated promise to voters to repeal ObamaCare.
In July of 2017, McCain would not keep his promise and instead voted against the repeal
of Obamacare.
McCain reportedly said to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), "Let's see
Donald make America great again now," which was an obvious reference to the president.
As McCain betrayed the pledge that he made to the American people, he got his revenge
on Trump or at least he thought he did.
His lone vote was the one that saved Obamacare and devastated most Americans over it.
That's a heck of a legacy and it has nothing to do with valor, courage or loyalty.
Bush was a bit more subtle in his attack.
He described McCain as a man who "respected the dignity inherent in every life – a dignity
that does not stop at borders and cannot be erased by dictators."
You get the drift here.
The audience, which should have been somber and dignified in their honoring the passing
of McCain applauded as if they were at a political rally or a campaign stop rather than a funeral
for a legitimate war hero and long-term senator.
Many in the media and the political elite were there.
I totally understand O'Neill's disgust at Meghan's and other's behavior – it
dishonored John McCain and it was petty.
Many people were shocked and saddened that a war hero's death would be treated so shabbily
by his daughter.
But then again… like father like daughter.
Meghan's grief is no excuse here.
