President Trump won't stop feuding with John McCain.
On Saturday, the president attacked the late Republican senator from Arizona, who died last August, on Twitter for his role in the spread of the Steele Dossier, a series of memos written by a former British spy in 2016 that tied many in the Trump presidential campaign, including Trump himself, to collusion with Russia.
Trump quote-tweeted Ken Starr, the independent counsel who investigated then-President Bill Clinton, after Starr called the dossier a "very dark stain" on McCain's legacy. Trump also criticized McCain's vote against repealing ObamaCare in 2017.

Trump has had a mostly one-sided feud with McCain that dates back several years. McCain's daughter, Meghan, responded to Trump, saying that "no one will ever love you" the way people loved her father.
A night's sleep apparently didn't help Trump forget about McCain, though. The president continued targeting the former Republican presidential nominee on Twitter on Sunday morning. Tim O'Donnell
