'Pathetic': Meghan McCain responds to Trump mocking her father before State of the Union

WASHINGTON – The daughter of late Sen. John McCain denounced President Donald Trump as "pathetic" on Tuesday after reports surfaced that the president mocked the late senator just hours before his State of the Union address.

Trump reportedly made fun of McCain, a Republican who died in August after battling brain cancer, during an off-the-record lunch with television news anchors.

During the meeting, Trump attacked Democrats and recited the moment when McCain voted against repealing the Affordable Care Act, according to The New York Times.

"By the way, he wrote a book and the book bombed," Trump said of McCain's book, "The Restless Wave," according to the Times.

McCain's daughter, Meghan McCain, called out Trump on Twitter, calling his comments "pathetic."
