IVANKA/JARED KUSHNER/JOHN MCCAIN/TRUMP FAMILY: “Meghan McCain wishes that Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump’s daughter and son-in-law and senior advisers, had not attended the funeral of her father, Sen. John McCain, she said Thursday [2-7-19] night. Appearing on ‘The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,’ McCain said she had not been aware that the couple would be attending his funeral, and that she hopes her eulogy — during which she criticized ‘cheap rhetoric from men who will never come near the sacrifice (her father) gave so willingly’ — made them uncomfortable…McCain’s jab at Ivanka Trump and Kushner comes following Trump’s recent attack on the late senator at a private lunch for television anchors last Tuesday, The New York Times reported. The President referenced McCain’s famous vote to sink the repeal of the Affordable Care Act and that “he wrote a book and the book bombed,” Trump said, according to the Times.”
