a president, a pariah
a persona non-grata
unworthy of respect
of fealty, of love
besmirching our traditions
the ideas of America
unworthy, uninvited
in their time of loss

“Cindy McCain helped lay a wreath at the Vietnam Veterans
Memorial
at 9am today ahead of her husband's funeral service at
the
Washington National Cathedral. People have since left
flowers,
American flags, a paperback book, POW hat and
homemade signs honoring the military hero.”

9/1/18 - Twitter Moment during funeral for Senator John
McCain
"The America of John McCain has no need to be made
great again because America was always great." — Meghan McCain @MeghanMcCain

comment of Susan Glasser
“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.”

emblematic of the escalating rhetoric between
President Donald J. Trump and John McCain
since the 2016 Republican Presidential Primaries
and continuing after Senator McCain’s death
