“We gather here to mourn the passing of American greatness, 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 live lives of comfort and privilege while he suffered and served.
“The America of John McCain has no need to be made great again, because America was always great.
“We live in an era where we knock down old American heroes for all their imperfections when no leader wants to admit to fault or failure. You were an exception and gave us an ideal to strive for.” – Meghan McCain, eulogizing her father today at the Washington National Cathedral.

Make no mistake: the applause ringing out at the Cathedral when Meghan McCain says ‘America has no need to be made great again because America was always great’ is not standard. Never heard applause at a funeral here before.

I’ll never forget Meghan McCain’s eulogy that literally went after the corrupt plague of sh*t that infests our White House whilst Javanka looked down for most of it. A good moment.
