Last night, Meghan McCain posted a beautiful statement on her father, Sen. John McCain.

I was absolutely appalled by some of the reactions I saw last night. Even people from our own side were somewhat giddy over McCain’s diagnosis. If you don’t believe me, look at some of the reactions I stumbled upon here.
Completely uncalled for. We don’t wish cancer on people.
If I’m seeing these comments and appalled, I can’t even imagine how Meghan feels. This is her father.
But some people don’t care. Meghan stumbled upon a tweet from Nevada Republican national committeewoman, Diana Orrock. Don’t even bother trying to get on her Twitter, because it’s been deleted. Apparently, someone tweeted, “Please Just F***ing Die Already #JohnMcCain #Neocons #Russia” and Orrock retweeted it with an “Amen.”

Meghan saw the tweet and responded thusly.
.@DianaOrrock – you are a godless, horrible monster who should be nowhere near GOP politics – let alone society in general. https://t.co/Ygn9F3bAQf

Amen to THAT, Meghan.
Orrock eventually issued an apology.
My apologies to @SenJohnMcCain, @NVGOP & @GOP. Today’s retweet was disrespectful. Sen. McCain is an American hero. I don’t wish anyone harm.— Diana Orrock (@DianaOrrock) July 18, 2017
It’s good that she apologized, but keep in mind. She only apologized because she was publicly shamed.
People are the worst.
