By now, everyone knows that President Trump was asked not to attend Senator McCain’s memorial service.
He spent the day golfing, which was probably for the best since the whole thing turned into a Trump-hate-fest, anyway.
What we DIDN’T all know is that Ivanka and Jared DID attend the services.
In fact, they were personally invited by McCain’s longtime friend:
Ivanka Trump was asked to attend the funeral by @LindseyGrahamSC when they met on Capitol Hill earlier this week and she shared her condolences, per a White House official. Graham said it would be a nice gesture for Ivanka & Jared to attend, but cleared it w/ Cindy McCain first.

So Senator Graham invited them, and Cindy McCain agreed. How could they NOT go? I’m sure that move would have been widely criticized as well.
Well… CNN seemed to think it was “odd” that they would go…
And then the “we used to hate McCain but now we LOVE McCain because he hates Trump” crowd chimed in:
No matter how many funerals @IvankaTrump her felonious husband, or her moronic brothers crash, they’re never going to be a part of the club…

Shame on you Lindsey Graham, for putting Cindy McCain in the uncomfortable position of approving Jared Kushner’s and Ivanka Trump’s attendance at Senator McCain’s service, because YOU thought it would a “nice gesture”. I thought it was embarrassing.

Are you KIDDING me right now?
These people are acting like they have ANY idea how this all went down. …They don’t.
I love what John McCain’s daughter, Meghan said about her father while subliminally taking shots at Donald Trump in front of Ivanka and Jared in the midst of the congregation.
Take that! Socked it to ‘em! 👊🏽 #CNN

YES. Because that’s what a memorial service is about. “Socking it to ‘em!”

I guess the cronies are also mad at CNN? These people are really bad at directing their anger:
@CNN DO NOT SHOW JARED OR IVANKA FOR EVEN ONE MINUTE❗😠 They are the ANTITHISIS of John McCain’ s life & legacy❗😠 NO STINKING TRUMP, FOR ONE DAY❗

@cnn please allow yourselves, and your viewers to Honor Sen. McCain today w/out giving airtime to Ivanka Trump & Jared Kushner. They are NOT the story here!

@CNN please quit showing reactions of Jared and Ivanka at Senator McCains Funeral. The world doesn’t care about them. It’s about Senator McCain.

I’m SURE these morons were just as respectful when McCain ran for president, right?
They’re mad at Lindsey Graham, too…(they’re mad at everyone, ok? )
It was completely inappropriate for @LindseyGrahamSC to intervene with grieving @cindymccain on behalf of the Trump family. A “nice gesture”? This was a funeral, not a garden party. #JohnMcCainFuneral #Respect https://t.co/AjbBZgduad

So he took it upon hime of to invite the daughter of the man who repeatedly insulted McCain and then put a grieving widow in the uncomfortable position of having to say yes or no? Selfish & inconsiderate. Guess Trump is rubbing off on him. https://t.co/5Fj8ZQv9TN

Lindsey Graham is still technically a Republican, so it’s really no surprise they’d chew him out…
Then things get REALLY ugly…
I hope Ivanka Trump enjoyed watching the funeral her father won’t have.

WTF is WRONG with you?!
These people are just LOOKING for reasons to be outraged at Trump and anyone Trump-adjacent at this point.
