'Following Trump like a basset hound': Meghan McCain ramps up feud with Kari Lake
Meghan McCain rekindled her feud with Arizona Senate candidate Kari Lake on Thursday when she compared the former local TV news anchor to a basset hound.
Writing on Twitter, McCain slammed Lake for doing a fundraiser at former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort, where she shared the stage with Roseanne Barr, the one-time TV star who recently suggested violent revolution was in the cards should Trump lose again in 2024.
"Kari Lake is NEVER in Arizona -- she just lives at Mara Lago following Trump around like a basset hound," she wrote.
McCain's slam on Lake comes as Lake has tried, so far with little success, to win back some of the more moderate Republicans in Arizona whose support she explicitly rejected in her failed bid to become Arizona's governor.

Earlier this year, McCain explicitly rejected an olive branch from Lake after Lake tried to walk back criticism of the former "View" costar's father, the late Sen. John McCain (R-AZ).
"I want everyone’s vote," Lake said during an interview with a local news station. "If you call yourself a McCain Republican, if you call yourself a middle-of-the-road Republican, a Trump Republican, an America First Republican, I want your vote.”
"Kari Lake is trying to walk back her continued attacks on my Dad (& family) and all of his loyal supporters... Guess she realized she can’t become a Senator without us," McCain replied. "No peace, b---h. We see you for who you are -- and are repulsed by it."
Lake is running for Senate even though she still has not conceded that she lost the 2022 gubernatorial election to Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs.
Lake has also been sued by Republican Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer for defamation over her false claims of Richer supposedly rigging the election against her.
