Meghan McCainis not happy with the Republicans’ official messaging in her home state.
TheView’s conservative co-host called out the Arizona GOP’s official Twitter account for retweeting a message from aDonald Trumpsupporter that they would be “willing to give my life” for the president’s baseless push to overturn the 2020 election that he lost.
“He is. Are you?” the Arizona Republican Party’s Twitter account thenwrote, sharing the supporter’s tweet.
McCain, daughter of the late Republican Sen.John McCain, called the message“stupid and embarrassing.”
“‘Die for Trump’ is the official ‘AZ GOP’ twitter message? Really guys? Really?” Meghan, 36,tweeted.

This time around, Trump has instead cited unfounded conspiracy theories about alleged “fraud” and claimed the election was “stolen” from him.
However, his legal team and their allies have failed to overturn election results in any of the states where they have filed legal challenges and the Electoral College will vote Monday to officially designate Biden the next president.
In Arizona, where Biden becamethe first Democratic nominee to win the statesince PresidentBill Clintonin 1996,The Arizona Republicreportsthe state’s Supreme Court upheld the election results and denied the Republican Party’s challenge.

Once results showed Biden had flipped the long-held GOP state, some pointed back to Biden’s longstanding friendship with the the McCain family and Sen. McCain’s bitter relationship with Trump, who repeatedly mocked him even after his 2018 death.
Both Meghan and her mother, the senator’s widowCindy McCain, were vocal supporters of Biden throughout the election in light of their family history.
Trump has not yet committed to attending Biden’s inauguration ceremony next month, while the president-elect recentlytoldCNN’s Jake Tapper it would be an important gesture to help the country begin “moving on."
Biden, 78, has called for political “unity” after the election.
“With the campaign over, it’s time to put the anger and the harsh rhetoric behind us and come together as a nation. It’s time for America to unite. And to heal,” Bidensaidlast month. “We are the United States of America. And there’s nothing we can’t do, if we do it together.”
