Twitter's peanut gallery gave Mary Trump a round of applause for her comment, with some calling Mary classy, even as others tut-tutted Meghan McCain for yet again falling back on her family name.
"So typical of Meghan to throw her family in the mix, like Mary said something about them. That was tweeted out of embarrassment and the fact she had no real comeback. Here's Mary's class act response," is how one Twitter user responded to the exchange.
There were other Twitter users who mourned the loss of what they called the old Meghan McCain, as one pointed out, "Her [McCain's] reaction here really shows how much she's strayed from the honesty and ethics of her parents. I miss the Meghan I used to know, who seemed interested in following truth, wherever it led."
But Meghan McCain had her supporters too, like this member of the Twitterverse who wrote, "She's asked for the Trumps to leave her alone. All you would need to do is respect that. We are our brother's keeper."
