WFB’s Continetti: McCain’s Funeral Was a ‘Rebuttal’ to Trump’s Inaugural Address

‘The McCain-Trump feud began with comments by Trump’

EXCERPT:

CONTINETTI: "Certainly, the McCain-Trump feud began with comments by Trump. But I think it also became something larger. And there was an ideological component to a lot of the eulogies here, talking about John McCain’s ideas. When I looked at that ceremony, I saw John McCain designing the rebuttal to President Trump’s inaugural address from a year and a half ago. We went from American carnage to the American idea or promise. We went from a very negative speech to a very positive speech. Everything is fine. America doesn’t need to be made great again. The truth is the John McCain’s America, the America that was represented at the National Cathedral yesterday, doesn’t need to made great again, because it’s doing fine. So the contrast is with Trump and who Trump represents. For them, America is not doing fine. They like the more negative message."
