Meghan McCain’s fellow conservative co-host on The View is rallying to her side and attacking Donald Trump - even though her father is the president’s ambassador to Russia.
Abby Huntsman, who like McCain worked at Fox News before she joined ABC’s popular daytime talk show, implicitly slammed Trump on Monday for once again criticizing Meghan’s dad, the late Senator John McCain, over the weekend.
Huntsman tweeted: ‘Proud of my good friend @MeghanMcCain for staying so composed through this nonsense.

'He spends his weekend obsessing over great men, because he knows it, and I know it, and all of you know it, he will never be a great man,' McCain said on the show.
