Meghan and her husband Ben Domenech welcomed daughter Liberty in 2020. 'Liberty's birth and my father's death are the two key events creating a before and an after in the story of my life,' Meghan said of her new audio memoir Bad Republican. In the course of writing her new Audible book, Meghan said that her father's 2018 death served as a sort of tentpole moment in the retelling of her life story. I like people that weren't captured.'Įven as she was writing her manuscript he tweeted that John McCain was one of the most overrated people in DC. 'He's a war hero because he was captured. 'He's not a war hero,' Trump said of McCain. Trump infamously degraded McCain, a former prisoner of war, and his time in the military during a 2015 Q&A in Iowa. He fought the lowering of the flag in my dad's honor when he died,' she penned. Trump had supporters boo my father at a rally. 'For years he made a sport of beating the crap out of my family, and he didn't let up once he got into the Oval Office. He would go on to talk about my father over and over again, always in derogatory ways. When writing about the phone call in Bad Republican, Meghan noted Trump 'wouldn't change his tactics either. 'She was like, 'We love you, we love your dad.' and I was like, you don't, but okay,' Meghan said, adding that it felt like the 'one and only time' the Trumps had 'some awareness' of the 'damage' their rhetoric did to the McCain family. Meghan added that Trump then made his wife and, at the time, newly minted First Lady Melania get on speaker phone to help smooth things over. 'I called and we had a very bizarre conversation, and he denied making fun of my dad's war injuries and he didn't apologize, but he said, “I didn't do this, this is fake news, this is Mike Allen lying,” she recalled.
