In the midst of her pain,
in her grief, her profound loss
as she spoke words of love
for the man, her father,
saying these words, his creed,
that “America was always great,”
in the great cathedral…
in her grief, her profound loss
as she spoke words of love
for the man, her father,
saying these words, his creed,
that “America was always great,”
in the great cathedral…
Listening to these words,
hearing the response
applause like rain, thundering,
echoing off the marble
hard-wood boards of the pews
the fabric of our nation
testifying to what we believe…

“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
