Meghan McCain Responds to Brother’s Selfie With Tim Walz

Meghan McCain, the daughter of late former Republican presidential candidate and Senator John McCain, posted to social media that there is “no family drama,” after her brother took a selfie with Democratic vice-presidential nominee and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.

“Yes, I am over here the last republican in the family,” McCain posted to X, formerly known as Twitter, on Thursday. “Albeit, it feels strange, everything is okay. There is no family drama.”

McCain’s younger brother, Army 1st Lieutenant Jimmy McCain took a selfie with Walz and Arizona Senate candidate Democratic Representative Ruben Gallego during a rally on Wednesday.

“They are showing America what it means to put country first,” Walz wrote in his post along with the photo on Wednesday.

Jimmy, McCain’s younger brother, told CNN last month that he’s changing his voter registration to Democrat and plans to support Vice President Kamala Harris and Walz’s ticket on Election Day in November. He had also promised to “get involved in any way I could” to help the Harris campaign.

The younger McCain, who is a U.S. Army intelligence officer, denounced Trump for his recent controversial visit to Arlington National Cemetery during a wreath-laying ceremony to mark the third anniversary of a terror attack that killed 13 U.S. service members as American forces were withdrawing from Afghanistan.

During the visit, the former president’s campaign staff had a physical altercation with a cemetery staff member attempting to prevent them from taking videos at a grave site due to federal laws prohibiting partisan political campaigning at military cemeteries.

“The point of Arlington Cemetery is to go and show respect for the men and women who have given their lives for this country,” Jimmy McCain told CNN’s Jake Tapper. “When you make it political, you take away the respect of the people who are there.”

Meghan McCain, a conservative commentator, said in her post on Thursday that she still will not endorse Harris or Trump.

“I won’t endorse Harris (or Trump) because I am still a principled conservative, like my Dad was his entire life,” McCain said.

John McCain, the 2008 Republican nominee for president, was frequently a target of Trump during the last years of his political career. Trump infamously said during a 2015 campaign stop that McCain, a Navy veteran who was a prisoner of war for over five years in Vietnam, was “not a hero” because Trump prefers “people that weren’t captured.”

Multiple members of the McCain family have repeatedly lashed out at Trump for his disparaging comments about the late senator, with Meghan McCain calling the former president “a piece of s***, election-denying huckster whose own wife won’t campaign with him” in an X post earlier this year.

McCain previously said last month she would not vote for Harris or Trump this year. She did not say, however, who she would vote for or whether she would cast a ballot at all.

But she did interview independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on her podcast earlier this year and warned Democrats that Kennedy could still “make a real difference” after he suspended his campaign and endorsed Trump last month.

“I greatly respect the wide variety of political opinions of all of my family members and love them all very much,” McCain posted on September 3. “I however, remain a proud member of the Republican Party and hope for brighter days ahead. (Not voting for Harris or Trump, hope that clears things up).”
