Midway through Meghan McCain's eulogy, President Trump loaded into his motorcade and has left the White House. Destination unknown. He was wearing a white MAGA hat, per press pool. Golf?

Senator McCain specifically requested 2 men who he fought bitter election battles against to give his eulogy. He did so b/c at the end of the day, the Republic is not about partisanship. It’s about being good stewards & protectors of this great experiment entrusted to all of us.

"My father wasn't an opportunistic man of wealth who sat back while others made their sacrifices"
Meghan McCain just went for it: "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."

Entire McCain memorial - from the words of Lieberman, Kissinger, Bush, Obama & others, to the applause they receive - is a giant subtweet against Trump. There has never been quite such a spectacle against a sitting president.

When I met with Judge Kavanaugh, he acknowledged he worked on same-sex marriage, abortion, executive power, torture, Supreme Court nominations, warrantless wiretapping, and more as Staff Secretary. Why are Republicans hiding his records from this time period?
