Meghan McCain's threat to Dems backfires as her dad's biographer issues warning of his own

Meghan McCain recently threatened Democrats by saying she might release what her father, John McCain, really thought about Vice President Kamala Harris. But that threat backfired on Sunday.

Meghan McCain earlier this week said that she wants Democratic candidates to stop invoking her late father’s memory on the campaign trail — and fired warning shots on social media that there could be more to come.

“Now, I know democrats want to reinvent history and turn my Dad into any illusion you guys need him to be depending on the political moment you need to bastardize his memory for…But please don’t make me start sharing what I remember him ACTUALLY saying about Kamala Harris….” McCain wrote Friday on social media.

“And consider this my final warning shot, I will start spilling tea,” added Meghan McCain, the daughter of Republican Arizona Sen. John McCain , who died of brain cancer in 2018.

That threat was turned on its head over the weekend.

Democratic strategist Cliff Schecter, who recently published old comments by J.D. Vance saying he wanted Hillary Clinton to beat Trump in 2016, said he had some tea of his own to spill about her.

"I wrote a book about your dad in '08, as I'm sure you know, Meghan. So go ahead and do it, nepo," said Schecter on Sunday. " __ Then I'll share what your father's advisors [and] others close to him told me he really thought about you." __

He then added, "Things I had no reason to publish except to be cruel, but will happily share now in light of what you've become. You go first."

In a separate post on social media Sunday, Schecter said, "Meghan McCain doesn’t just get to threaten Dems [with] her unearned platform."
