“When we were working on it, I didn’t actually think about who would be attending the funeral, strangely,” McCain said. “And the answer is no, I did not know they would be attending his funeral. … And I thought that my family had made it clear, at least I had, that the Trumps are unwelcome around me, and that my father had been sort of very clear about the line between the McCains and the Trumps. So I was surprised when they were there, and it made me uncomfortable, and I hope I made them uncomfortable, honestly, with everything.”
McCain wanted to make this “very clear,” she added. “The Trumps had beef with me then, and in the words of Cardi B, they’re gonna have beef with me forever. And I’m not going to forget. … It’s sort of a strange element to my life now that they attended, and I wish they had chosen not to out of respect, if nothing more, for me.”
