Meghan McCain ‘horrified’ after Trump’s press conference with Putin: I’m proud Putin ‘hates my dad’

Meghan McCain on Monday said she was “horrified” shortly after President Trump’s joint press conference with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday.

“I don’t have anything quippy to tweet. I’m horrified,” McCain, the daughter of Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), said on Twitter.

{mosads}“The View” co-host also added that she has “never been more proud of the fact that Putin hates [her] father so much, he personally sanctioned him on Russia’s enemies list.”

I don’t have anything quippy to tweet. I’m horrified – and have never been more proud of the fact that Putin hates my father so much he personally sanctioned him on Russia’s enemies list.

Trump drew instant backlash during his press conference with Putin on Monday after he downplayed Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential election and slammed the special counsel investigation. 

“The probe is a disaster for our country. I think it’s kept us separated. There was no collusion at all. Everybody knows it,” Trump said just days after special counsel Robert Mueller indicted 12 Russian intelligence officers for hacking Democratic entities during the 2016 race. 

When asked during the conference whether he would condemn the Russian government for election meddling, Trump also said he doesn’t “see any reason why it would be” Russia who hacked Democrats during the race.
