Meghan McCain slammed former President Donald Trump for mocking her late father, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), over injuries he sustained during his career in the military.

My dad was an American hero. An icon. A patriot that will be remembered throughout history. I cannot buy a bagel without someone approaching me about how much they loved and miss him, she wrote on X, formerly Twitter , Saturday.

Trump is a piece of shit, election denying, huckster whose own wife wont campaign with him.

Trump name-dropped McCain in an Iowa speech on Saturday as he remarked on efforts to repeal the Affordable Care Act , also known as Obamacare, during his administration.

Obamacare is a catastrophe, nobody talks about it. You know, without John McCain, we wouldve had it done, said Trump of McCain, who voted against a Republican measure that wouldve repealed parts of the act in 2017.

Trump later made a thumbs down gesture, imitating McCains vote at the time: John McCain, for some reason, couldnt get his arm up that day, remember? He goes ... like that. That was the end of that.

McCain spent 5 1/2 years in a North Vietnamese prison, where he was subjected to torture after his Skyhawk dive bomber was shot down in 1967. At the time, he was a lieutenant commander in the Navy.

He sustained injuries from the crash, the torture and from inadequate medical treatment, ABC News noted , which left him unable to raise his arms above his shoulders.

Trump, the current front-runner for the GOP presidential nomination, has attacked McCain on a number of occasions, both before and after his death in 2018.

The former president notably declared on the 2016 campaign trail that McCain was not a war hero, before adding that he likes people who werent captured.

He also grumbled about McCain last year in his Letters to Trump coffee-table book, where he wrote about giving the late senator the worlds longest funeral . Its worth noting that Trump did not attend the funeral, at the request of McCains family.

Much like his wars, it never ended, Trump wrote.
