Meghan McCain spoke out against fellow Republicans in an emotional now-deleted X post Tuesday, saying she is “absolutely heartbroken” that the government’s recently passed government spending bill slashes funding set aside to research the cancer that killed her father.
“My fellow Republicans—this is wrong," she wrote on social media, reported HuffPost.
McCain’s late father, Sen. John McCain, died in 2018 of a brain cancer called Glioblastoma. McCain said that the National Institute of Health (NIH) has produced Glioblastoma treatments that are “nothing short of a miracle.” At risk is the Defense Department’s Congressionally Directed Medical Research Program (CDMRP), which typically funds various cancer research programs through the National Institutes of Health.
